    Rosa,

    We have ST:TNG tech already. Tap a little button and you can communicate with it.

    It's called a Bluetooth headset.

    That's right. The entire crew of the Enterprise NCC-1701D was made of douchebags with Bluetooth. Suck on that, Geordi and Crusher!

    But seriously. Since the FDA reported that 4 people have died from choking on life alert pendants, maybe we can make life alert mumu's, housecoats, or even, dare I say it, LifeAlert Slanket/Snuggies! [gizmodo.com]

    This is just a guess, but does it involve messing with the gravity in your room like Melora did in that episode of Deep Space Nine?

    Or does it possibly involve Kilngon Painstiks? Just be warned, they can cause excessive cephalic pressures to build up.

    Oh the legal liabilities on this thing. Chemicals released to the child from the color change as well as liability for kids who are sick and the parents dont know since his Onsie didnt change color.


    Personal Injury Lawyers everywhere are rejoicing.

    @Curves: PI lawyers don't rejoice. After three years of law school and countless hours locating "friendly" medical experts, they are no longer actually capable of that particular emotion. Instead, "good news" simply causes them to immediately switch into "devious scheming" mode. Almost like a robot. Or a wolf. Or a robot wolf.

    @92BuickLeSabre: I laughed at what you wrote, but only because its true. Much to my shame, I have dated lawyers and I know they sit around looking for ways to maximize the way they can screw people.


    The advantage to dating lawyers? You KNOW youre gonna get f00ked when a lawyer is involved.

    This stuff is awesome. All the companies that use Goretex are doing this heat sealing thing.


    You should do a run about the new material Arcteryx is using on some of it's backpacks to make them virtually waterproof too without a raincover.

    @sicknick: they should do a run on basically anything Arc'teryx makes. In fact, Arc'teryx is probably responsible for this new tech with Gore. Its a little known fact that they are the people who had Gore create XCR, Paclite, and Tiny Tape. They are way ahead of everyone else.

    @noroadtrippin: Actually, most of the fabrics are adapted from the military fabrics division of Gore which are then applied to consumer fabrics.

    @The Lab:
    I can't do anything that doesn't involve holding them in with my hands. Even sitting still, they'll slowly slide right on out (and yes, I do regularly clean my ears). My parents got me a set of Earplanes the last time I flew to California with them, and even those would just slide right out.


    For non-strappy headphones, I've got a pair of over-the-ear ones that have an accordioned rubber strap that wraps around the back of your ear, without digging in like the hard plastic ones that you usually find. Unfortunately, the only place I've ever found them is Mediaplay.

    The complaint i always hear about is the inverse - people with ear canals too small for earbuds.
