Picked up this link on RB/YAHOO: It's a disturbing piece from "Lab Notes" in the Government Computer News (GCN) ntgov.com More signs of the apocalypse? We have commented before about the deplorable trend of buying PCs for their looks rather than their performance or usability. Now wearable-computer maker Xybernaut Corp. of Fairfax, Va., has made its product a fashion accessory. The GCN Lab has been waiting two years for a review unit of Xybernaut's Mobile Assistant IV with head-mounted display. Meanwhile, the Mobile Assistant has been strutting its stuff at New York fashion shows. We always say that computer buying decisions should not be beauty contests, but until now we thought it was only a metaphor. My comment/question: Why in god's name would XYBR not submit the MAIV for review? This is supposed to be one of our primary markets. Only reason I can figure is we've got nothing to gain (GCN has no effect/influence on contract decisions) and everything to lose (we've got reason wonder about the outcome of a review). Which brings me to another question: have any of the MAs been subjected to testing against any real standards?
