Holy shit.
Anyone else heard about this? Because they ways they seem to be finding to screw with our brains are on the increase. I know it's an old article, but I just found the link while I was researching on monkey brains.

Just... Gah.

EDIT: Broke my linkage.

Though I don't believe in a God...WHY ARE WE TRYING TO PLAY IT!?

We are defying Mother Nature and...one day...there will BE RETALIATION!!! Trees and shrubs would uproot themselves and kill us ALL!

If their blind...they're blind. Why change it? Sure it'd be cool...but that's just more crap for the world to handle.

HEY! I don't care! Aslong as they implement the Technology in to PS203 I'm happy.

For fucks sake, get them out of my head!

That's kind of... sad. No, frightening. Maybe the word I'm looking for is stupid.

I guess I can get the research benefits, but entertainment purposes? All I can think of is "get a life". We've still got a real world.

Alright! I can see this getting big. Way big. Like TV and internet big.

Here's why. Sony is in Japan. Besides being a place that is very good at taking things American's make and making them smaller, Japan is famous for a couple other things too.

The first is Anime, providing uninteresting people with something to obsess over.  

The second is samurais and ninjas and shit, which are cool.

The third is porn.

Porn. Think about that - neither cable TV nor the internet got big until people figured out you could use them for porn. This thing? It's going to be expensive and nobody but uber-dorks are going to own them, at least for a while. And then some genius is going to say, "Hey, we can do porn on these!" and Sony will motherfucking own the universe.

LIKE toilets!

sorry to nitpick at grammar but nonetheless, the plural of 'samurai' is 'samurai'

and yes they are cool.

SO i could have direct access to asianbigbuts.com in my head - how cool!

but then another though enters my head - i could just use my imagination to de-file anyone i wanted, in any way i wanted.

-that proposition is far more interesting, for me anyway.

I wonder if the people who thought this up ever invisioned it being co-opted as a way to experience heinous amounts of porn.

They probably should have realised.

Oh wow, it sounds fun.  Who wouldn't want to do awesome flip-things and kick computer-program code ass?

Sony's ass is in a sling right now with this rootkit on the CDs, so I'll be curious to see what happens to the company as a whole a few years down the road.  That is, assuming that anything even happens to them.

Ever.

Sony is going to own the world with or without this. The PS3 and blu-ray is going to take the world by storm. This is probably going to end up being a freaking game peripheral, in addition to an aid for the blind/deaf/whatever.

As long as I am able to take the thing off then I say go for it. As soon as it becomes a device you have to use involuntarily I think it violates. Which is why I hope they never get around to doing an invasive version of what they have here. But they already have, in a fashion. Those implants that allow the blind to see and what not, could easily be turned to something such as this.
