I realize that there are good intentions behind this and that is truly admirable, however, it was though of from only one side. Those who would like this kind of access will certainly benefit but the companies will suffer. It will cost more to make websites and devices compatible and people will not be willing to pay more. Ask yourself, honestly, are you willing to pay more? Of course some people are but most are not. That means that the manufacturers will have to either eat the cost or force it back onto the consumers.

One half of winning the hearts and minds of the people could be done using only a wireless PDA

What's more likely: Standardization (which involves Microsoft working in cooperation with apple and Linux developers) or North Korea just saying "oh sorry, my bad, here's the nukes". Not too sure where I'd vote!!

So I can throw a ball from one browser window to another, so I can have the Google home page fall to the bottom of my screen in a heap....WHAT'S THE POINT?

I wonder about detection rate. If someone is lying, how long would it take to detect the lie based on body odour, it's not like it would change in a second. This makes me wonder just how useful this would be?

not that I don't agree that there is a point to a flexible, paper-like, touch sensitive screen but they already have something that does what you describe. Look up smartboards, they're amazing and do all that you mention!

An internal fusion reactor...judging by my kids energy level, they already have one!!

Simple, "The fifth amendment protects witnesses from being forced to incriminate themselves". There is no need for further explanation..oh wait...maybe it should read "The fifth amendment protects witnesses from being forced to incriminate themselves unless we say otherwise"

true but did anyone actually intend to use this in a business environment? If they did I say they deserve what they get!

Thanks MSFT for allowing the average user to host his/her own porn server for all their friends!!!!

They just keep getting better at screwing us over. Rihgt now it's false advertising for false products, next it will be advertising for real products and then they will make us actually but the product. The scam artists of hte future are licking their collective chops!!

From the summary:'We do not use AMSR-E data in our analysis because it is not consistent with our historical data.' Is that the same thing as saying "We do not use AMSR-E data because it proves that we've been wrong all along!'
