Man, I thought a ton of companies had done work in this area. When is the patent office going to start researching these things...?

Actually, it was invented by Xerox who gave it to Steve Jobs becuase they thought the whole thing was a big waste of time and wouldn't make any money.

Betcha they're kicking themselves now!

He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand; and if only the will to walk is really there, He is pleased even with their stumbles.

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
every new day seem so new.
Every New Day - On Distant Shores - Five Iron Frenzy

Nail pierced hands they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain yet it's comforting to me

The question is, did you learn it right? Was it *given* to him, or did he *steal* it. It's all a question of who you ask. This valley is just chock full of intriegue.

When I first looked at the article in question I did a double take: oldphilosopher seemed serious, but there was that picture... but upon reading I discovered it was legitimate news after all. Beyond that I am afraid I have very little to say.
