LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.

Uh, how can Microsoft be awarded a patent for something that was being done at Carnegie Mellon over 5 years ago! The patent office consists of some very 'interesting' characters if they can't even look at graduate school projects as a source of prior art.

Furthermore, Microsoft said, the physical resistance offered by the human body could be used to create a virtual keyboard on a patch of skin.

Considering that you'd be using your hands to type, are you supposed to use your crotch as the keyboard area?
