The Flotation Phone (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3103616.stm)

"Many people tend to do other things like walking, reading or even cooking, when they are on their mobile phone.

But does that mean you are not really concentrating on the conversation itself?

Researchers have come up with a device that effectively shuts out the outside world, leaving you to focus on what you are saying.

The Isophone is a gadget that blocks out all peripheral sensory stimulation and distraction, letting you talk in a quiet and calming environment."

BBC News (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3103616.stm)

So, he's saying that you can have a splendid heated argument over the phone with your wife/girlfriend/mom/whatever in a 'quiet and calming environment'? Please read me my last rites, I think I'm going to die from laughter. http://burns.thefinaldimension.org/ups/sicdeth/bored.gif

I think I figured this scam out. You use the phone, which causes you to drown because you're underwater and can't breathe, and then they take the phone from your corpse, resell it, and continue the cycle.

Those scumbags.

And I'm sure he's asked for a bunch of patents for this crap too :(

If you do, make sure it's in the face of this brilliant "innovator" ;)

I hate gatorade. In addition to it tasting like windshield-washing fluid, the bottle is shaped like a big phallus... And speaking of sucking, that is really the suckiest invention I have ever seen...

[twifkak]

Dude: You know I responded on some thread and told you what your sig was, right?

I love Gatorade! It looks like urine, tastes like an oasis after weeks in the desert, and contains friendly little things that help your system. And no, the bottle is not shaped like a phallus, though I wish it were.

And wot the hell are you doing drinking windshield-washer fluids?

I think he wants it that way. ;)

I am in awe at the unbridled idiocy of this stupid piece of crap."Unbridled idiocy" and "crap" are understatements. Who's going to run to their local pool everytime they need to make a phone call?

Really? I thought Chindogu was more popular...
