I know we all talk about how physical buttons and knobs are better than touchscreens, but there are ways to seriously fuck up those as well.

This is certainly great news for British medical examiners who work for the DOD

Hawkeye : did you take his pulse?

One thing to keep in mind is that large corporations patent absurd ideas not because they want to bring them to market, but because they want to prevent others from working on them
