Classic, MIT scientist invents something to replace eyes and common sense.

I dunno. I'm still waiting for my Bell X-Ray to arrive...

Kinda nifty I guess, but the whole "vitual world" with the GPS thing seems slightly hokey...

I like the scrabble machine though. That's neat.

Haha, those MIT guys are funny. You heard about the alarm clock that goes off, then scurries off the nightstand and hides somewhere to force you to get up and look for it?

I mean, why actually develop some self-discipline when you can make a machine do it for you?

Give BV some credit. If he invented the helmet, the helmet would also do the pedaling.

I’m sure there is a condition or syndrome that can be attributed to justification of creating this.

Doesn't fit so well on that dude now does it?

Well, my computer wouldn't fit so well inside my helmet either

About the alarm clock that goes off, then scurries off the nightstand and hides somewhere to force you to get up and look for it?

I had an alarm clock in College that my swim team bought for me (I was always late for 5:00 AM practice). Anyway, it was a ball and to hit the snooze you had to chuck it at the wall. Then it would go off again and you had to get up and get it, thus getting you out of bed.

I threw it out the open window by accident trying to hit the snooze one day and it died in the 4 story fall from my dorm room

"What can it do? It can play music or audio books, with hook-ups for an iPod or tape cassette. It can record speech through built-in microphones, and GPS (Global Positioning System) warns the wearer of hazards on a given route. It also can detect important sounds like a fire siren to mute music when necessary. It has a Motorola cell phone with Bluetooth installed so a bicyclist can talk on the phone, hands-free."

If you need all that, maybe cycling isn't your thing.

Can they make an alarm clock that when you hit snooze it gets up and attacks the household cat?


'Cause that would get me out of bed....

I dont see eyebrow holes, so I doubt this was ol' cromag's handiwork.
