Sony said that they believe in a 10-Year plan for every console they come out with. They believe the PS3 will continue for 10 years before they have to introduce another console. You also have to remember that it's not just the controllers and the Eye Toy that make the motion sensing work. Most of it is in the software which can be easily upgraded by downloading updates via the internet onto your PS3.
Project Milo and Natal together will revolutionize the gaming industry as well as many other industries around the world. From what I've seen, heard, and read, Milo is pretty close to an Artificial Intelligence who can learn about who you are as a person. Milo could be used for tons of medical applications. I know a girl who has a mild case of down syndrome and she can't read a recipe but loves to cook. Natal would be able to scan the recipe into it's memory using the eye and recreate the page for Milo to read out loud to her. Technologies such as this cost hundreds of thousands of dollars but Microsoft and Lionhead are going to bring it to you for much much less. Not to mention Microsoft is a massive company with billions of dollars of revenue every year. There is no doubt that if both of these technologies take off that there will be more money spent in developing them.
Maybe I'm the one that's just being a little optimistic here but I believe that there are individuals out there in the world that want to help people. I'm just waiting for one of those individuals to be hired at a huge company like Microsoft and change the world forever.
I thought it didn't matter whether the signal being sent from the source was 120hz or not? In fact I don't think there is a source out there that send a 120hz signal to the TV. The TV puts out the 120hz. There is a noticeable difference between the Samsung LNA550 and the Samsung LNA650. The picture is exceptionally more clear in the 650 than the 550. I've been selling TV's for almost two years now and believe me when I say it takes a while to notice the subtle differences, but they are there.

"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
