RE: [Bluez-users] M$FT optical desktop for Bluetooth now works wi th Linux (fwd)

That's true for most desktop computers, but with a wearable your computer
may be in a pouch, around the small of your back or in a pocket. It would be
nice to have it resume activity from a wireless peripheral in your hand or
via voice command.

Even with a desktop, I find having to lean/crawl under my desk and hit the
power button annoying.
