Sounds like we need this fellow to have a look at our "hanging chad" problems here in the States...

There's got to be a simple solution...perhaps just a mirror??

They work quite well to detect a piece of errant food that might yet be affixed to your face after eating...and cheap too!! :)

Slashdot ran a story (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/30/1459217) on this article. I thought the comment by one poster there was absolutely priceless:

"Honestly, though, [Bradley] is modest. The IBM Campus in Raleigh had a career builder seminar once that he attended. He actually showed a video where he was speaking at a small conference where Bill Gates was in attendence.

"On the video, someone made a comment about Ctrl-Alt-Del being a life saver as an easy way to reboot systems after a crash (back when the blue screen stayed up by default). His response was "I just coded the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence. Bill Gates made it famous." The implication wasn't intentional, but the look on Bill's face was priceless."
