Quote of the Week:
"We give off so much information. But our only current way of
interacting with a computer is very limited: through,
essentially, a keyboard and mouse. So the limitation of my
computer's ability to help me -- this increasingly complex,
wonderful machine with its ability to recognize intricate
patterns -- is its inability to recognize complex patterns in
me."
