    Bah! You whipper snappers and your 'new' powerless remotes. The Very first remote control was powerless. The button ringed a chime in the remote and the TV changed channel when it herd certain tones. Now get off my lawn!

    I also have a magic device that uses no batteries, yet continues to function as a mechanical marvel. It doesn't generate electricity, but the basic idea remains the same:

    Maybe they could create a remote where the mechanical pressure on a button generates energy which is turned into ultrasound and triggers the TV.

    I think now is a good time to invest in companies that make vomit bags.

    I can't imagine how it must feel to have blinking lights beamed straight at your retina, but I am sure 'nausea' is part of the description. #hud

    'Bout f-ing time they got heads up displays from about a bazzilion sci fi stories/movies rolling out. The translator one sounds impressive, but it wouldn't exactly help you respond to anyone you happen to be talking with. Can we genetically engineer a babel fish yet? #hud

    Couldn't they just make that camera use Firewire like every other professional piece of camera gear?

    You're going to need lots of space for that footage, though.

    @thebigcheese: Firewire is not widely adopted, but USB3 will be. I'd say it's sort of a no-brainer. Besides, who really cares about Firewire for a webcam except old Macheads still clutching to their old iSight cameras?
