The Singularity will never come.

[Off-topic semi-rant]
A lot of people think there will come a time where computers suddenly become more intelligent than people. I doubt this is true.

Why? Because, even though technology advances at a breakneck pace, the main reason we improve it is so that we can integrate it into our lives. When implants are invented that can interact with the brain, are we going to voluntarily do what they say? Of course not! We are going to install them and use them to improve our lives, and our intelligence.

Technology isn´t separate from humanity, it IS humanity. It´s just another form of evolution.

Uh.... Ok

When it can read lips like Hal 9000 let us know. Sounds like alot of hype. Maybe it will be able to tell if your face is facing the sensor (after ALOT of training input), and maybe not quite so consistantly (which would render it not quite so useful...). How much training will YOU need to 'look just so' so the thing will be able to interpret a well trained facial gesture.
How many different (discernable) gesture would it reliably/99.9% interpret??

Graphics (2D not this 3D they hint) is somewhat harder than sound (VR) interpretation and with the sound you can do things with a mike to cut out extraneous sound input.
