Wow, I guess I'm a visionary...

So, here's a post from a couple years back... note in particular the section about what might make for an ideal video game controller.  Now, compare that to this, a patent Sony filed not quite a year later.  Mind you, I didn't see the great glowing balls on top of each piece... but that's because that's nothing short of stupid.  I'm not just saying that because it's Sony (for all I'd rather almost anybody else had filed that patent)... pieces potentially in the way of trigger fingers is not a good thing.  Still, it'll be interesting to see if something like that controller actually gets made... it'd be fun to see how it behaves in the real world.
