  1. From the article:

    The world has arrived at an age
    of cheap, complex devices of
    great reliability, and something
    is bound to come of it.


    PS: Although I don't wear it
    on my forehead, I do use my
    digital camera to record text
    like phone numbers and stuff
    on the computer screen.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
