Could you elaborate on the maintenance costs? We use ProtoBufjs for our own real-time whiteboarding webapp over web sockets, and in the long run having strict schemas has saved us a lot of time. We're a distributed team with different members working on the front and backends, and we frequently refer to our proto files to remember how data is transferred and how it should be interpreted (explained in our proto commented code).
Are the maintenance costs related to debugging unparsable messages? We've almost never had an issue there, so maybe we've just been lucky?

I'm surprised that this is just now news. I received complaints from people participating in our beta trial (http://sketchtogether.com) from as early as October 22nd, 2014 that our website was broken, and it was because of Superfish being installed on their lenovo laptops. When they uninstalled Superfish, our webpage started working again.
Superfish injected a line of code that referenced "sf_main.jsp" from a remote site into all webpages (including ours) that interfered with our code. Here's a pastebin of the sf_main.jsp javascript file it linked to: http://pastebin.com/bZFkfRd5 (I assume the linked code is not copyrighted, if it is, please let me know and I can take it down).

It was such an amazing system and it's unbelievable that this was published in 1963. Too bad it took more than 3 decades before it made it into people's homes.
Anyone finding this interesting might find Bill Buxton's timeline of devices interesting too: http://www.billbuxton.com/inputTimeline.html

I have one on my wrist right now, and from the limited amount that I've played with it:
- There's a magnetic connector (like mac boks) that hooks up to USB. It doesn't come with a wall connector, just USB, which is a bit weird.
- It does indeed look like you need to press a button to start tracking sleep.
We use it ourselves for design sessions in our remote team and teachers have been using it in their classrooms. If you find it useful, we'd love to know :)
