Wow. That's pretty sick. I wonder how long before they have shit that tells you where the nearest restaurant or store is.

I'm scared of when computers start to know what I'm thinking. Bitch don't run that game it doesn't benchmark well with me.

Mobiles do have these features since a couple of years, actually.

I had that feature on my T-Mobile Sidekick.

Really great. Available since 4 years ago :thumbsup:

I meant where the phone shows you visually like the subway finder in the video. The VZW Navigator on my phone supposedly does that for you, but I've been led on wild goose chases more than once. It'll tell me that there's an ATM in front of me, when all there is is a brick fucking wall. :crash:

If you are curious about ATMs happening, check for Belladonna, Tory Lane or their fellowship of the kink :nanner:

Well never rely on technology too much is what I say, the human body is a pretty impressive bit of kit already. This is merely an indication of the sort of things we might expect in the near future, so interesting on the basis of any potential use.
