config6 commented on Question of the Day: What's Your Most Expensive, Dumbest Gadget Oops?

@peacefulpony: that made my day thank you.

heart wrenching: I bought an additional HD to back up data and accidentally formatted my c: drive. this has happened 3 times over the past 10 years. alcohol was involved at least twice.

most expensive: kicked my laptop off the hotel bed in my sleep.

painful: left my ipod in the seat back pocket on an airplane. it's been years but i'm still upset by this.

i've learned from all of these mistakes.

I am really impressed. It crashed the hell out of my phone but it was cool up until that point. I love it when giz has a story about something I can try immediately.

It seems like the driver made a weak attempt to avoid collision. I barely noticed any nose dive. I assume the video would cause both drivers to be ticketed. It's a nice concept however. I got into an accident at an intersection where traffic merges onto a freeway access road. Since then I noticed that I see the same situation at that intersection weekly. They now have a camera mounted directly over the exact spot of my collision. I normally hate video surveillance but appreciate it there.

I agree with STANFROMBROOKLYN until he gets all agro at the end. It is annoying when you are showing someone a great film and they get distracted at the best parts.

I've already seen every movie that I've ever watched on a phone or PMP. At that time I have already fully "experienced" it and would like to "partially" experience it on the go.

@ HOONIEBEAR
Agreed: based off the drawing in the patent it looks like it would be a companion to a tablet

easy... back in '97 proving to my disbelieving friends that my 4 cylinder '95 accord could do 135mph. took several miles on an empty road to get there but they believe me now.
