The Register reports a new brain-to-computer technology that does not require electrodes inserted into the brain. It sounds good, but it’s only half of the equation.

And, while getting rid of the keyboard and/or mouse is nice, who wants to lug around a large display?
The title is, of course, Scotty’s quote in Star Trek IV when he realized that the Mac he was seated in front of didn’t have voice recognition.
