I personally can't figure out why companies would want to create such awful technology, but they are. I blogged about it after you posted that article, actually.

It is a terrifying prospect that I expect will happen someday, and once we see it clearly coming it will be too late to stop. -Tim [For anyone who didn't recognize my original quote, it was from Revelation 13:16-17.] - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R.
