@grok666: Nova Science Now just did an episode where they had clinical trials for a kind of cure like that, except instead of killing the cancer cells, they reprogrammed the epigenome and turned them back into non-cancerous cells. they had a couple patients with fatal end stage leukemia that were in remission from the…

@club662: they've actually moved away from having things jump out of the screen. it lost its novelty quickly and doesn't look right from people viewing the screen from the sides.

@The Lab: i think the guy is attempting to demonstrate at the end that he can track things without triggering the gesture action. if you look at the gestures they all require fairly uncommon series of motions with your eyes.

@VirtuosoZero: well fitted contact lenses would have given you the same benefit tho. you just would have run the risk of having them fall out.

@Hank Scorpio: If you have really sharp vision, you don't need zoom. You can see all the details without it and still have your full range of view. It's hard to describe without experiencing it, but its the effect I got when I got my vision corrected down to almost 20/10. Wherever you focus, you'll see all the…

@max11221: well said. he also neglected the fact that contacts and glasses are often not sufficient for people that engage in any kind of vigorous physical activity, especially contact sports. Lasik is really the only well tested option for vision correction in those conditions, and is used by a lot of professional…

@ithyphallus, lazy beareaucrat: in a disaster scenario, where the power grid is offline, i think i'll be able to find things to eat much more easily than i'll find fuel to burn in generators (admittedly some solar cells would be preferred, but those are fragile and have limited portability for the larger ones)

@Alluvian: That's not a more efficient movement at all. Moving the device itself requires move its mass repeatedly across surface for no added charging benefit. That's actually one of the most inefficient ways to convert human energy into electrical.

@tyddraig: no, its like paying for the mona lisa, and then being told you have to get permission each time you want to look at it, and then being told in a few years that its too expensive to keep maintaining the servers which give you permission, so you can't look at it any more. _that's_ why no one wants DRM on…

in terms of preserving data, he obviously isn't trying to save man kind (or at least, hasn't thought about it very much). the life expectancy of data on those kinds of devices is measured in years, not millenia, centuries, or even decades. unless aliens happened to find it basically immediately after we destroyed…

@Satis24: actually, they do make money off of scrabulous. the app loads ads into the page while you play, so they're making ad revenue. if they're weren't profiting at all from it and there was no official version, i'd be upset they tried to remove it.

@ShaggE: actually, i heard the soldiers do exactly that. different kind of protection tho ;) water and sand are no match for a good 'ol trojan! sometimes the low tech solutions are the best :) oh, and crazy glue really is a good way to seal up cuts! them military types are resourceful.
