That sort of reasoning is quite common, but fundamentally flawed. The fact that there are complex relationships between government agencies and private sector companies is an inescapable reality, but it in no way reduces the need for the product being produced. If you want to gripe about the fairness of the defense bidding process, go right ahead. If you're trying to use this as a logical means of implying the product itself isn't needed, you're terribly wrong.

Judging by the success of almost every recent 3D movie in the US, I would say there are here to say. And yeah multitouch obviously is great for a phone, which kinda defeats the idea that is a "dead idea" not worth revisiting. Tho I agree using multitouch on a monitor over a few inches is an insane stupid concept, except for tradeshows of course.
