We must become the change we want to see in the world. -- Mohandas Gandhi.
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. -- Thomas Jefferson
I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success...

Patented Gestures
Ok, it's bad enough that Apple has a patent on "slide to unlock"... I am actually offended that Lucent filed a patent in 1998 (awarded in 2001) for VR-based interface. VPL Research had already built goggle/glove systems 13 years before Lucent filed that patent. Hell, I had already played Dactyl Nightmare (image right) before that patent was filed. In fact, take a look here and see what prior art you find.
