operates directly with brain activity

This sounds pretty amazing:

Maybe one day we can set a cookie in a persons head instead of his/her computer ;)

Funny, but it seems that the only input will be from the eyes. I don't think they are going to try to "program" a mind. If it could, just think of the viruses! haha!

This is pretty neat. Once the technology catches up, just think how fast we will be able to do things. To heck with keyboards, mice, and other input devices. We can just think it! This reply would have taken all of a second or two for me to think instead of typing it. Productivity would soar!

What a clean, non-neurotic brain you must have. In my case, a computer linked to my brain would be spitting out reams of garbeldey-gook.

Everyone in this business, expecially programmers of any kind, should see the bizzare move Paranoia 1.0. Spamming horror at it's worst. :-)

Seems to me I read that the US Navy or Air Force has been testing similar "eye control" input features inside their pilot's helmets for several years now, but I think it has had limited success due to the brain's response time. Guess with a PC that wouldn't be an issue, at least with the time it takes my machine to perform certain tasks.
