SwiftDeath Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I found this really interesting. This is a article about Micrsoft trying to patent the ability to send electronic signals through your body using your sweat. Article Here Jeez, when are they gonna stop? What are they gonna try to steal from us next? Our brains? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 It's an interesting technological concept - creating a virtual keyboard on a patch of skin. The problem is that if Microsoft are exclusively developing it we'll never see it's full potential. Besides - would you want the creators of Windows inventing something that plugs into your body? I think not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulSe Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 LOL! And you might go blind every five minutes or stop being able to explain your problems coherently. The heading of this thread is a little missleading though - they aren't trying to copyright your body and sweat, just the technology that utlises it. Not that I'm agreeing with them ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FX Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I can't wait until some has to "reboot" themselfs for the first time. Would there be a next? FX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linux_learner Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I can't wait until some has to "reboot" themselfs for the first time. Would there be a next? FX <{POST_SNAPBACK}> well, if you consider a flat line as a power down, and defibulating as powering up, completing the "reboot", then we already do that. everytime we bring a person back, you could consider that a successful "reboot". still.....would any of us trust any technology to this extent? pacemakers are one thing, but this is a whole nother level.

FX Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 So what your are saying linux_learner is not to operate the software near a microwave? FX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 um... all it is is a virtual keyboard on your skin that uses your sweat to transmit a _minute_ electric signal. It's hardly dangerous and doesn't make any changes to your body. But I enjoy blowing things out of proportion myself, so carry on :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iphitus Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 so long as they dont touch my pacemaker :P (actually i dont have one :P ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linux_learner Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 So what your are saying linux_learner is not to operate the software near a microwave? FX <{POST_SNAPBACK}> lol no. a pacemaker does not involve software. i was just comparing the body's resusitation to a computers reboot. um... all it is is a virtual keyboard on your skin that uses your sweat to transmit a _minute_ electric signal. if your not talking voltage. sure. our bodies actually hold charges of arround 20,000 volts. just miniscule amounts of amps. our bodies are like inductive capacitors.
