My wife went today to get her eyes Lasik-ed. As I was sitting patiently, I had the opportunity to watch some lasering in progress. Of course, HIPAA went through my mind as I saw various patient names and vital stats scrolling across the closed-circuit television, but I was a bit taken aback by the fact that the laser was controlled by a Windows application.

The heck with e-voting… I want to make sure surgical equipment will not suffer from the "blue screen of death." Yikes.
