Well, my only inference was to broadly categorize the technologies presented. 
That's admittedly subjective but I think I was pretty fair and conservative in 
doing that. You seem to be saying they selected the spying option because it 
wasn't a re-hash like the others. That's your inference -- which may be 
correct. I'm no expert so I'm simply going by the words in the article... :-)

(BTW, the article didn't make this clear but the thermal imaging camera on an 
STB is not a new idea. But adding logic to sense 3D relationships on a 2D 
surface is -- at least in this arena.)
