OMG! It's the geek Hellraiser!

Crazy eye-wire guy, I think I'll miss YOU most of all!

You just know that social timebomb isn't going to go over well in Boston.

jack: that is exactly the thing that every single person who visited that table said. But the next version of the Social Bomb will be much smaller because they are fab-ing a circuit board for it. But the LED numbers will stay because people really liked being able to see their ranking that way.

So that's how the guy made the stupid camera that takes a photo of you every time you blink? That's so dumb then. I thought he at least made a mechanism that optically knows when you blink (via some sort of biometric system) as at least that would be of some use to the technical community.

Instead, he essentially made a switch that is tripped when he closes his eyes. Absolutely retarded.

bignaz, i agree its kind of silly that conductive thread just smacks against itself every time you blink....
getting a vision system to recognize a blink wouldnt be as easy as some wires n glue, but it can be done.

last time we saw that blink camera guy, I thought he looked like one of those peppy-artsy guys who join the dram club and stuff in high school. Now, in those closeups with the weird wires coming out of his face and what not, he kindof looks like a semi-goth Edward-Scissorhands-genre-loving cool guy. But then the camera pulls out, and there's our old friend from drama class putting on a great big show, wearing a tuxedo with a helmet and a big blue camera.

Why do I say these things? Well, I'm a total ass sometimes and I just can't stop myself.

Also, I still say the camera should point the other way...so at least you can say you've got a picture of what you missed when you blinked. Nobody wants a bunch of pictures of their self with their eyes closed.

Wow.. you guys really "get it."

All that I can say is that when I saw this picture for this post my first reaction was "Whoa! Now they have strings to pull your eyes out? What next?"
Thanks for shattering my dreams.

Hey, at least you didn't think it was a Funnyfarm Convention for the Patronized.

"Yes, Billy, that's a very good gadget. I see how it connects your eye to your ears. I'm sure you'll be able to see and hear at the same time very soon."

Alex: No. No! NO! Stop it! Stop it, please! I beg you! This is sin! This is sin! This is sin! It's a sin, it's a sin, it's a sin!

Dr. Brodsky: Sin? What's all this about sin?
Alex: That! Using Ludwig van like that! He did no harm to anyone. Beethoven just wrote music!

Dr. Branom: Are you referring to the background score?

Alex: Yes.

Dr. Branom: You've heard Beethoven before?

Alex: Yes!

Dr. Brodsky: So, you're keen on music?

Alex: YES!

Dr. Brodsky: Can't be helped. Here's the punishment element perhaps.

I hear Cox Cable are implementing a similar device that you are required to have fitted when you get their service.

It uses an electric field to keep your eyes open and facing the screen during the commercial breaks.

Look, it's a dick in a box.

If that dude sneezes, he's going to tear himself apart!
