Aliens have arrived on earth! And they love TV just as much as us. Oh wait, no, that's just a prototype helmet from Toshiba that gives you a 360 degree panorama when watching TV or playing games! Sweet technology, but oh so dorkalicious-looking. I mean, who would wear this thing? It looks like it could break your neck! (It weighs 5.95 pounds) Never mind the claustrophic aspect. This futuristic gadget will be released within two to three years; pricing not yet available. I think it makes sense for arcades and amusement parks, rather than individual use. Even something this cool--technology wise--would wear off its welcome after awhile.--Blogging Molly
P.S. Does this remind anyone else of The Fly?

Since one of the ideas is to split strings not into words, but hopefully into phrases more semantically informative than the words they are made of, doing that better should mean better suggestions, and avoiding what essentially are word n-tuples should make for smaller data and slightly faster querying.
