wouldn't be they swap rubber for tree fibers?
hopefully... but like always we'll see...
i was thinking Whoopi Goldberg, but ok.
i just wanna win. economy is really screwed.
yeah right... like that would happen in ANY state...
Better idea is to have an odometer-like gauge for the pure electric cars that tracks some sort of electrical abstract and have a state-licensed inspector read it and base the tax on that (maybe at inspection), then pay when you renew the registration. It's not instant but its much more reliable. Hybrids would have to pay a little extra something based on mileage differences at registration, and regular gas cars just keep paying the gas tax. You wouldn't need to raise the gas tax either as you are already compensating for the lesser gas consumption from the hybrid registration mileage, and the electrics' meter.

This model would have to be modified/tweaked as more electrics and hybrids get on the road and less gas-only vehicles are around, so it can't/won't stay this way for long. But this would be more fair.

Also, electrics and hybrids aren't all that light... they're still around the same weight as their non-hybrid siblings. Look at the Civic or Camry and compare the hybrid options with their non-hybrid models. Or any other model car for that. 200lbs lighter does not make a car 'light'.
so no one is concerned that this could all be a hoax and the app is just a little program that goes through the motions and pretends to decode what the person types?
Are there any studies to whether or not this constant additional IR in the eyes is ok and not going to cause the user to go blind prematurely or cause other optical issues?

Has lots of limitations, like others said. sunglasses, controlling something you are not looking at, minute controls ie collapsed winamp, etc.
i met sometihng "electrifying" once, unfortunately it was while ejaculating into an AC socket.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
