Title: Microsoft helps to stamp out spam
Post by: RaZoR1394 on 2 March 2006, 13:57

Quote from: "BBC"

Soon PC users could be literally stamping out spam instead of hitting the delete key. Microsoft researchers are working on a way to let people use their feet to perform many routine computer tasks.

 By tapping buttons on a pad on the floor users can scroll through their inbox and open, close and delete messages.

 The researchers said they developed the foot interface to make interacting with computers more energetic.

Utterly useless. Another Microsoft hype attempt.

Actually, I can see the tie-in to MechAssault already - another Microsoft product (though not originally).

I think this new sytem may be of some use to M$ users in that, when you get angry at your shitty "operating system", you can stomp on the floor in anger causing a program to run that will try to comfort you :D ...

PS: M$ ruined the Mechwarrior series :fu: M$ x ∞
