With the advent of Google Glasses, we're virtually there. Mark my words, within ten years, looking like Borgs will be coming into vogue, with the pages taken from the steampunk community somehow making the visible equipment required fashionable.

Can I get mine in brass?

Sure, but don't complain to me if you're wearing brass when copper and zinc may be what's in vogue.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

Since the advent of the internet as we know it today, I've always envisioned no physical keyboard, mouse, server or monitor. A simple device, which is carried, connects one to the cloud, with communication done via voice or a holographic keyboard on a holographic monitor.

Don't believe me? Who in their right mind would ever miss a meeting when the staff looks like this?

I've been told that virtual keyboards don't really work since a keylogger is still able to record key inputs without key strokes. Is there some truth to this?

Some loggers also take pictures of mouse clicks, so on-screen keyboards would not save you.

What if you have a computer that's downloaded the qt client once, and then is still connected to the internet but never, ever, EVER downloads anything else or goes on the internet using a browser. Still possible to infect?

It's possible (there may be a remote exploit in the OS, or even in the bitcoin client itself) but unlikely. By far most infections happen while browsing the internet and/or email.

If you want to walk on water, get out of the boat

Yeah, if your computer is infected then NOTHING you do on that computer is safe. NOTHING.
