I've always wanted to design a computer monitor that has a big hand that will stick out and slap trolls and spammers across the face when they send their nefarious troll posts/spam. Guess I should have copyrighted that idea ;)

"If successful, it could allow people to touch and feel each other over the Internet. "

Oh, absolutely. I have little doubt one of the scientists will "accidentally" leave his device in his pants pocket.

You can not only feel the resulting force, but you can also get a sense of the quality of the object you're feeling -- whether it's soft or hard, wood-like or fleshy

Screw these handjob thingys, bring on the holodeck.

Trust me. You wouldn't want to use this gizmo just to shake Petra's hand.
