Apple thinks your naked wrist needs an iWatch http://www.salon.com...emium%29_7_30_110 Love the Truth-phrase: The logic of late capitalist consumer product business cycles demands new categories of consumption! An entire generation has grown up with naked wrists! Space must be filled. The Corporation must be Fed: with every impulse purchase--they Know We Hate Them, but cannot resist their sex-Toys.

I would get something like this in a heartbeat if the resolution was high enough, the RAM and CPU was comparable to a good smart phone, and it had decent battery life. I think the last one is going to be the killer. Unfortunately. :-( Cheers, Scott.

Researchers have also discovered there is a natural "battery" in the cochlea where they can almost directly pinch some electricity. It's not much; I think someone is looking to see if it can possibly power a cochlear implant. Wade. Just Add Story http://justaddstory.wordpress.com/

This thread, brief as it is, momentarily restores a soupçon of respect for a species mostly noted for its Ostrich-viewpoint on any matter needing [actual] original thought. Thanks guys (n'estwhile Gals) for your functioning wetware--as is, often--an antidote to having mistakenly READ some of the "replies" ..to many topics: Elsewhere on the Intarweb--where nowadays the primitive bloviations outnumber sensible opinions: Oh.. about 100:1? Now I think I'll have a snort of something consciousness-altering, as reward for some hours of raking / separating Rocks from dead walnuts, other detritus, aka mind-numbing but ... rejuvenating! ... shit-work for the best kind of meditation: Pointless.
