>>>>Good point. I'm sitting too far from a 21" to reach the screen at the moment. Odd in a way that we've adapted to viewing/reading screens in a vertical position when the most natural is (as when reading a book) about 45 degrees. Fairly large touch screens do have their place tho - take the POS systems in some bars and restaurants for example.

>naaa...just have to think. The devices will be reading brainwaves (and sending brainwaves back to you). Hey maybe Google can partner with the NSA that way they'll know what we're THINKING too.

Bit scary. Have to make sure you don't reboot the wrong device....
