That "free" registration required salary range, occupation, job title, zip code, and a bunch of other data collection bits including an email address (good thing they didn't verify the email address before giving access).

Sounds like a great idea. I'd like to see a working sample. Maybe in time for the '05 IMS shows. |

there's a company that's been selling wireless headsup displays (If you can call one red LED a display)for radar detectors for at aleast a year now (I can remember seeing it for that long, at any rate) I like the idea . . . . alot . . . . but admit I wonder about the form factor of the displayed data (digital = yck, analog = good, but signal intensive) |
