    The bowl looks a bit like a sakazuki (sake dish) so I was just thinking... load it with sake, and when your stress levels get too high, it tells you to take a sip before going back to work!

    Why the bowl? Couldn't the bracelet itself tell me? If I'm that stressed out about something I'm not going to be paying attention to a bowl. And what would really stress me out is having to carry a bowl around.

    @twoeightnine: The engineers misinterpreted the designers' intention of a "bowl" when the user is stressed.

    Kind of cool, but is there any evidence traders make worse decisions when they are stressed? I can think of other jobs where stress might be a concern. For example, air traffic controllers. If it turns red maybe someone should step in to assist.

    Is the bowl turning bright red likely to just make them more stressed than they were already? Red tends to be threatening, that might be the wrong signal.

    How much money would they potentially lose by stepping away from the computer? I don't know that you actually have the luxury to step away at the points where things are happening the fastest.

    @jdale: Yah, there's evidence of it. Little bit of stress: good. Too much stress: brain no think rationally. And that's not a good thing when you're playing the stock market. Stepping away from the computer for a couple minutes will net out better results than getting the day-trading equivalent of road rage.

    Employee: Hey Boss I am taking a short break because my bracelet says I am getting stressed out.

    Boss: Okay but I don't think your fancy little bowl will be too happy when you are standing in the unemployment line.

    In reply to Relieve Stress With The Sound of Cracking Knuckles
    The problem is that you can generally only crack you knuckles once or twice per...actually per what? I have no idea.


    However! My right thumb cracks indefinitely! If I hold my thumb with my left hand and make a little wavey-wave motion with my right, off it goes.

    @92BuickLeSabre: I once made out with a girl whose jaw clicked all the time. One bad thing about ADHD was that I kept getting distracted by it. I think her name was Tara. So Tara from SVC in 1997, my 2nd freshman year, if your out there, wanna hook up again? My new meds help me focus better.

    @USB_Humping_Dog: I'm not sure what they are. I can also wave with my fingers...lay my fingers completely flat on a surface, bending my fingers up at a 45 degree angle only from the middle joint and then waving the tips up and down from the finger-tip joint.

    My hands are too large for an Asus keyboard. It's ok if you're just typing site addresses and such, but for anything extensive, I can forget it. Aaach! I'll leave it to the noodle-armed choir girls /Groundskeeper Willie

    Amy will test you to your very core, she will break you, she will tax you to the limit and if you pass, you are a demi-god.

    @Dick In A Box: Those are speed clouds. You can tell by the gradient in the text. Farting is only done in solid colors. Punching/impacts are also solid colors, but incorporate drop shadows. It's covered in the Professional Illustrators Manual 446th edition.

    THIS is what would sell people on electric/hybrid cars. Have your Prius sound like a big block Chevy V8. It would also stop Seeing Eye dogs from getting run over by them.
