   patent money on trees

   Yeah, and I want to patent a tree that money grows on. I can probably get that to grow before they get this working.
   
   How fracking funny is that?

   I can see ...

   ... How that marketing campaign will go:
   
   "look mom, no hands"
   
   Or how they can up with that in an executive meeting:
   
   "iPhone is eating us alive. What's better than touch by hands?"
   
   "uhm... No hands?"
   
   "BRILLIANT! Make it happen!"

   sign language

   Didn't Apple have a patent on LCD's doubling as camera's?
   
   I can see this happening in the future for specific devices and apps but i can't imagine it to be better than touch.

   lol

   What's the reason for not touching the phone? How do you avoid accidental inputs? (Sorry the phone disconnected you, I was trying to hit a fly).
   
   How do you use it with one hand? Does the phone fly and its camera will rotate and follow your hand around?
   
   I guess you have to gesture in the air like crazy monkey boy Balmer?

   This is a good thing...

   The great thing about this interface is that if someone is being an a** and talking too loud on the phone you can just flip them off, it will be interpreted as number 4, and their call will switch to the Muzak version of Muskrat Love. Payback is great.
   
   Also, does the computer interface in the 2002 movie Minority Report count as prior art?

   oops

   I meant MOST-RETARDED-IDEA-EVER... for a phone. Might be interesting for a desktop thing, but what can't be done with touching a surface?
   
   But love the possibility to turn off loud talkers. "oh sorry I was just stretching"
   
   And of course Balmer is spelled Ballmer

   How about looking like a total a** for trying to use sign language on a phone...

   deadly

   I can see in the news...
   
   "Today there was another shooting as another Samsung mobile phone user was mistakenly interpreted as making gang signs while trying to place a call."
