I've used one in Uni as well.. Did is as part of an experiment/study thing at Southampton Uni and work on being able to feel objects and have the feedback of touching.
Nice to see, but rightly so been around for years!
Anyone have any information on the battery life of the 6-cell, in comparison to the 3-cell? I have tried looking up and not found an easy answer? Probably me being stupid.. :P
I didn't say that Google's actions werent at least in the "shady" area of the law. Obviously this is a matter to be settled by lawyers and discussions between the involved people.
If Google has done something "unlawful" then obviously it should be "punished" but this still needs to be undeniably proven!
I wont admit to know all the information about their scanning (if I tried, I would be labelled ignorant - and probably quite rightly). But doesn't it only provide very small segments of materials? Many arguements link to browsing in a book shop - You scan and search for the right material - even read a few lines or a paragraph - before you decide to buy or not.
Still I stick by my statement that the act of this was very immature, and likening the two is just daft.
There may not be any sign saying "Do Not steal this laptop" or whatever, but as far as I know that the inside of that convention doesn't happen to be outside the country that has LAWS. I dont carry around a sign saying "Dont murder me", yet it always remain illegal to do it.
Very immature stunt, attempting to get this level of attention. Not at all comparable, and he's stupid for thinking it is.
Wow... looks like for once us Brits get something before you everyone else, heh - Shame it's not something I want!!
Hate to say it guys, but this has been in shops over here for MONTHS, and if I remember rightly, sets us back about £20/£25, which my calculations show is much cheaper than the "discounted" price.
Before you all start shouting and screaming, do not take this at complete face value - There is more to the story that Engadget decided to miss out.
The scanning of fingerprints is VOLUNTARY - You dont have to let them scan your finger. If you're innocent, you don't have to waste your time trying to prove it. Also, the prints are not held, logged, or assigned to any names if you arent already on the system - this was made clear, and is independently verfied by other groups.
And another slight thing, its actually mainly intended for stopping DRIVERS not passers by. All car thieves, banned drivers, etc, will already be on the system so will be identified - general public wont be on there, have no warrant and so be free to carry on.
Read a little more before you get all paranoid and hissy.
Seems like these "accidents" are giving the anti-Nintendo fan boys just hours and hours of joy... I'm nowhere near a fanboy for any console, but picking everything single hole and comments like "nintendo going to get what they deserve" etc etc, is just plain retarded.
Just hold onto your remotes! Hardly Nintendo's fault - Even if the strap is/was weak, you should still be holding onto the remote. Common sense right?
In the big picture... at least Nintendo aint getting asked to pay a bill for having 12 cop cars to attend an almost riot outside their store, eh? :P
