An interesting and exciting technological development.  Truly "hand's free"...

QuoteMillions of people suffering from multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injuries or amputees could soon interact with their computers and surroundings using just their eyes, thanks to a new device that costs less than £40.

Ye ye ye, Parkinson's, multiple this and that but why not market to those who can't control a mouse well with their alternate hand when the main one is busy?  You'd get that unit cost down below 10 pooonds in no time.
