Professors Dyson and Press have found one. You can read about it here (http://www.technologyreview.com/view/428920/the-emerging-revolution-in-game-theory/).

EDIT:

Here (http://rulesofreason.wordpress.com/category/game-theory/)is a better link.

This discovery has implications for, among other things, nuclear disarmament and economics.

I wish the article had spoken more about "the ultimate game" and "zero determinant strategy". If somebody understands these terms, I hope they will briefly explain them here.

EDIT:

Here (http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2012/05/16/1206569109.abstract) is a link to the original paper.

TL;DR: capacitive screens for devices that require durability and resistive for pointer accuracy.

Thanks yeehi,

After years of reading smug discussions of tit for tat suddenly things get interesting!
