    This technology is interesting, but its political effects scare me. Right now, portable ultrasound machines are used for sex-selective abortions in countries across the world. #gevscan

    @Sanfo: They're also used around the world for early detection of severe and debilitating deformities, some of which can even threaten the life of the mother. Making them this portable allows that to happen more easily. And in countries like China where one gender is preferred over another, if they can't know beforehand and abort it, they will often just resort to infanticide after birth anyway. #gevscan

    Why do they need such a device? Doesn't the need for that belly-jelly defeat the purpose of having a portable device? #gevscan

    @OMG! Horses!: OMG! Smarty Pants!


    This is what happens when we have commenters on geek sites - eventually one sneaks in that actually thinks about this stuff.


    Well, I raise your smartiness with an official definition:


    Not easily noticed or detected; inconspicuous

    Oh, sure - I had to take the third definition listed, but that is beside the point. Suck it Mr. Horses!

    I was going to say that myself. Though, without the block quote that I can't seem to get to work. And, regardless, it implies invisible to SONAR detection.

    While sonar for ships seems like a obvious application, I'd buy clothes made out of this in a heartbeat. I've always wanted to be one of those people who could just slip into a room unnoticed, without making a big ruckus and knocking things over. A full body suit made out of this material could go a long way to helping me realize that dream.

    @OMG! Herpes!: This won't stop you from making noise; it'll just stop you from hearing anyone else as all their sound waves bounce off of you. Unfortunately, your dream is still a long ways off... until they find a way to reverse puberty.

    @SoaringDisbelief: @shopperciti.com: Nothing insidery about it. It's an homage. Normally, I'm a nonconformist, but when it's for a good cause, what the heck.

    In reply to Air Force Wants Bat-Senses In Micro Spy Drones For "Urban Combat"
    I had a bat in my office just a few weeks ago and judging from the screams that were heard all over the floor, it would be effective spy tool. I would told the winged rodent anything just to get away.
    (Yes, I know they are not rodents, but yuck anyway).

    @Ibelieveinsandwitches: that's not close at all. normally half an inch would be "this close" or if it was really REALLY close, than 10 millimeters accomponied with squinting.
