Mice/Keyboards make up the computers look, a brain scanner is just too sad to bother with/]]>Sep 2nd 2008 7:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/fingercams-brain-scanners-to-make-mice-and-multitouch-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/fingercams-brain-scanners-to-make-mice-and-multitouch-displays/
Didn't we have this conversation, back when some guy from some corporation said the mouse was going extinct in a few years? (http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/21/gartner-analyst-says-the-mouse-will-be-on-the-outs-within-five-y/). And since then we have seen literally tens of gadgets like these set to hit the market!...

Just goes to show that NOBODY who's anybody in this business read or gives a crap about what consumers want! They don't even go to the trouble of reading what the readers of specialized media have to say.]]>Sep 2nd 2008 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/fingercams-brain-scanners-to-make-mice-and-multitouch-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/fingercams-brain-scanners-to-make-mice-and-multitouch-displays/Sep 2nd 2008 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/fingercams-brain-scanners-to-make-mice-and-multitouch-displays/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/fingercams-brain-scanners-to-make-mice-and-multitouch-displays/http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/5274390/OCZ-NIA-Neural-Impulse-Actuator/Product.html

In all honesty, if I could sit down and think, "Open Word, start a new document in my usual folder and call it 'Super Strong Bad Fan Fiction" this would be useful. That's not the case, however, Contraptions like this are little more than biofeedback devices and as such are tedious and unintuitive to use.

Of course, even if I could sit down and think about what I want the PC to do, I'd still have to suffer through Adobe, Flash and Java updates.

"Open Word... okay, you updated Java, great. Open Word and... no I don't want to restart right now. Open Word and... no, I don't want to renew Norton 360 right now. Open Word and... no really I don't want to renew. Open Word and... yeah great, you hid my inactive icons and no I don't want to run the desktop cleanup wizard. Open Word and sit on my middle finger and spin you popup having POS!"
