Hm. This comment reads like something straight out of an SF novel and yet I can't shake the feeling that it is just around the corner. Interesting times indeed.

Hm. This comment reads like something straight out of an SF novel and yet I can't shake the feeling that it is just around the corner. Interesting times indeed. Thank you for opening my eyes a bit further. Gargoyles seemed like a fun thing when Neal Stephenson wrote about it and Steve Mann (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Mann http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Mann) was experimenting in that direction. I never expected it to possibly hit the mainstream this quickly though, and especially not with some of the possibilities that you are hinting at.
