2-D Bar Code
Here is what the phrase "Disordered Cogitations" looks like in QR-Code:
The three big squares are for positioning. You can generate your own 2-D bar codes at Kaywa. They are designed for camera phone use, and can download a reader for your phone also at Kaywa. I sure would like a a desktop/laptop version of the reader. (Thanks to Bruce Sterling for the link.)

Direct Brain to Game Connection
Candace Lombardi of Gamespot reports that at the Game Developer's Conference:
Reminds me of demonstration George Bower (Axis Technologies) gave using a G-speak glove to navigate a database.

Emotiv Systems introduces new helmet that could allow gamers to leave behind joysticks and buttons in favor of thoughts and emotions.Of course, this would be so much more useful in conjunction with analytic discover and business process tools, not to mention 3D virtualized worlds and dataspaces.

On Demand Movie Theaters
John Rogers at Wired News reports:
The three are working on a new digital film delivery system that, if successful, could give theater operators the flexibility to put a popular movie on an extra screen as quickly as the demand for it arises. At the same time, theater operators could boot out a surprise stinker and even book in for a day or two an art-house film with a small but devoted audience.I suppose, a group could even schedule a showing in advance--like the Rocky Horror Picture Show at a more reasonable 9pm (rather than the usual midnight).
