    Lightbulb Question about human cyborg assaulted in Paris McDonald's

    reference: http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2012/07/...ris-mcdonalds/

    The article states: "The current generation EyeTap, which runs on customized WearComp OS"

    Is WearComp OS a Linux based OS?

    I'm not trying to be a jerk, but a couple of quick searches could have found this info for you.

    Wikipedia indicates Steve Mann/Wearcomp's site is wearcomp.org, you can search on Google for a specific string within a site by putting something like this into the search:
    Code:
    site:wearcomp.org linux
    and when you do you get hits like this: wearcomp.org/faq.htm, which mentions Linux specifically.

    Thanks Paqman, when a thread is started like this it is usually also to illicit further dialog beyond a basic Google search.

    There is a wealth of intellectual discourse that can be contributed to this thread, beyond my initial OP on the subject matter (article). Perhaps I could have worded it differently to make it more inviting?

    He went all the way to Paris, a paradise for gourmet food lovers, and chose to eat at McDonalds? Yes, I have many questions

    All I want to know is was it number 1 or number 2?

    I have a hard time believing this story.

    This is like the wimp version of Robocop.
