And why is this gentleman notable? 80.7.235.36 (talk) 19:27, 3 February 2009 (UTC) Jordan Serlin helped to invent the "Genie" web browser, allowing blind people to browse the web via voice commands versus utilizing a TTY keyboard. The system he developed apparently is still in use by Microsoft as part of the Internet Explorer package. Additionally, one of his companies developed a "battlefield awareness" system in conjunction with the USAF, so that soldiers on the ground could see live video feeds from cameras on Unmanned drone aircraft on a handheld device. From a military perspective, many would claim that this is a major first. Individual Soldiers, for the first time, could have a "birds-eye-view" of the battle-space, helping to avoid ambushes and other potentially life-saving information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.109.133.67 (talk) 13:46, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
