More wonderfully scary reality-imitating-fiction, this time a New York Times article on something very much like Vinge's Focus. I heard rumors about this at a con last year, but this is by far the most authoritative account I've seen. I actually believe it exists now. And I want one of these devices. I'd never take it off, I'd just be constantly twiddling with the settings, trying to optimize my brain usage for the current situation. Singularity, here we come!
