Giving Tech A Sporting Chance
For example, even such a presumably intellectual sport as chess has been in the "shouldn'ta done that" news lately -- last month, an Indian chess player was banned Tuesday from competition for 10 years after he was caught using a Bluetooth headset sewn into a cap. The idea was that accomplices would be using a computer at the other end and would clue him in on what move to make. Not only does that read like a bad Mission Impossible script, but I can't help wondering whether the player in question shouldn't find some other sport to occupy himself with after his ten years is up -- say, marbles. Certainly, I can't imagine that anybody is ever going to be able to watch him wrinkle his forehead over a chess board with anything resembling a straight face. « Are You A 'User'? | Main | DRM for HD Disks Is Already Broken » |
