The Digital Sixth Sense and the MARK of Skinput

SixthSense and Skinput sure seems mighty convenient for a lot of reasons and some of them might not be that obvious, yet. http://phys.org/news186681149.html , www.chrisharrison.net/index.php/Research/Skinput ,

Geo-tagging can be applied to any technology one way or another.

Movies on BD and DVD, etc.

There are many Versions of Blade+Runner & perhaps Blade_Runner:The_Final_Cut is the best overall. However, due to all the differences some like to have all versions of a favorite movie, whenever possible. web.archive.org/web/20090319034524/http://www.scifi.com/sfw/column/sfw17153.html

Prometheus could eventually go through a multi-version distribution stream like Blade Runner has.

At the very least, an expanded Blu-ray (BD) version of Prometheus in addition to the theatrical release, should be released in October.
