Who says history doesn't "run in cycles":
The 50+ year old Avrocar:

BTW, these cycles of 50-60 years are well documented in
economics... and... for the real prophet, there is aways the
"Yobel cycle"
Jones
... some other ~50 years old "omens" (besides the AvroCar):
...is 2006-7 the time for the long-awaited AI to appear as
"really" intelligent, in a Gibsonesque way:

1955 First McDonalds restaurant opens in Des Plains, Illinois -
how can you ever top that? ...er... even with "special" sauce?
1955 Argentine Military Ousts Peron ... and all we have is Madonna
1955 Lockheed presents the CIA with the U-2 - and in 2006 the CIA
has secretly managed to get a "carnivore-helper" designed into
every new computer ...
Here is the civilian version which got some folks in Northern
Virgina very steamed up when it came out:
"Perfect Keylogger" is a new generation keylogger which is
absolutely undetectable.
It was created as an alternative to very expensive commercial
products like iSpyNow, Spector Keylogger or E-Blaster. It has the
same functionality, but is significantly easier to use. Complex
internal mechanisms are hidden from the user behind the friendly
interface. You can install Keylogger and immediately use it
without changing of its settings.
Perfect Keylogger is an extremely compact, award-winning tool. It
is translated into 20 languages and is increasingly popular around
the world! It lets you record all keystrokes, the time they were
made and the application where they were entered. It works in the
absolutely stealth mode. Stealth mode means that no button or icon
is present in the Task Bar, and no process title is visible in the
Task Manager list.
Also, Perfect Keylogger can carry out visual surveillance. It
periodically makes screenshots in invisible mode and stores the
compressed images on the disk so you can review them later.
Our keylogger has unique remote installation feature. You can
attach keylogger to any other program and send it by e-mail to
install on the remote PC in the stealth mode. Then it will send
keystrokes, screenshots and websites visited to you by e-mail or
FTP. You don't have to worry about the firewall alerts - now our
keylogger can be invisible for the firewall program. Our keylogger
supports remote installation, update and removal - no physical
access required!
