Intel is thinking big by going small: The Edison, a full Linux computer built for wearables, is no bigger than an SD card. If the computer is the size of an SD card, where do I insert the SD card?

Quote: CEO said Intel plans to offer elements of McAfee mobile security products for free to help guard today's most popular mobile devices and will introduce Intel Device Protection technology this year to improve enterprise security of all Intel-based Android* mobile devices.
That would give Virus a whole new meaning for wearables.

It's small and cute, I just don't know about that whole wearable craze. Use it for making even smaller devices and I am on board. I can imagine a lot of different uses for a (semi-)stationary, tiny computer that draws very little power. I hope it's cheap too .

Yeah, absolutely. I would just like to see this as part of a lot of other things, although I could see the baby-stuff they were going with as useful. Hopefully they'll be cheap and easy to get one's hands (and code) on. Sadly, I'd bet they'll be Java-only.

Open source isn't just about saving money -- enterprises are adopting it to develop applications faster, with higher quality components. Cost, budget, fiscal prudence, and expenses?

Intel's been promising that future laptops will integrate 3D cameras that can track your motions much like Microsoft's Kinect, and it appears those plans are building steam. Intel has just announced partnerships with a wide variety of PC manufacturers to build the new Intel RealSense 3D camera into a variety of new notebook, two-in-one, and all-in-one computers later this year, including Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, and NEC. Now coffee shops will look like they're filming a sequel to Minority Report

However, it's still to be seen if developers can produce a UI that takes advantage of Perceptual Computing in an intuitive, foolproof manner that doesn't leave one's arms tired.

If someone can conduct Der Ring des Nibelungen without passing out, we should be able to fidget together a little app. Or we need to work on our upper-body stamina (I know I do).

I can answer that. Only for short periods of time. As you're aware, you have to mix and match the input modalities to get something that isn't as exhausting - i.e., include gestures, gaze, voice and so on. Funnily enough, this is an area that you and I know an awful lot about

I dunno, I think the cellphone-enabled panties are weirder (or at least potentially creepier). This is just us getting closer to our Gibsonian future.
