News Microsoft designs creepy life-spy

http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2008/02/21/microsoft_designs_creepy_life-spy/1

Microsoft has entered Momenta into the NextGen PC Design Competition, and it's a pretty creepy device designed to record every exciting moment of your life.

 

Naw, too primitive, too basic, too 'on/off'. If it's merely recording the [visual] moments which induce elevated heart rate then it could be anything or nothing. If you were bricklayer then a nicely formed wall might get you going, if you're a priest then any boys walking down the street, if you suffer from stress then probably anything.

Now, if we're talking something along the lines of Strange Days... that might be cool.

 

Most disturbing

 

remembered me of this: http://sales.starcitygames.com/cardsearch.php?singlesearch=Jinxed+Choker

 

Thats just pointless and creepy.

Note to MS: Stop wasting your money on crap like this and concentrate on making Windows faster and more secure.

 

Reminds me of the exploding deadlock devices from the movie Deadlock with Rutger Hauer.


So if you wear this Microsoft 'device' and you want to escape the Microsoft campus your head will explode!

 

How long before every "democratic" government out there makes it mandatory?

FOR YOUR PROTECION, of course....

 

^^ and include some form of Wifi device so they can watch our every move, reminiscent of 1984

 

Are they gonna throw us on some island next and make us fight to the death?

 

maybe someone should tell them that 1984 was not intended as a guide....

 

That looks extremely helpful tbh I want one

 

lol the whole thing is obviously inspired by battle royale

 

Then they'll put Windows Advantage Notification thingy on it, so everytime you look at a nice ass, you get a popup in the corner of your eye saying "Please grade this bottom [*][*][*][][]".

 

To escape?! as if selling ones sole to get into the devils lair was not enough.

 

lol

now that IS funny....

 

This is kinda boring compared to some of the other entries on their website. Look at the Illusion PC, and the Napkin PC. I didn't think that they would have an actual case mod on there.

 

hahaha.. the opportunities for hilarity with this are endless

 

I'd get one if it had a switch instead of being heart rate activated. many times I have had my heat "jump" when handling hardware (like almost dropping a new harddrive that cost me $170, or almost pushing over my chest of drawers that has both my monitors and a lot of other junk on it), not to mention that ever time I get low blood sugar (diabetic) my heart rate shoots up (not fussed on videos of myself shoveling sugary foods down my gob from the insane amounts of insulin I take).

this could be useful as an unobtrusive cheap-ish video camera that you don't have to constantly hold onto, which could be useful for many things (including a 3am trip to my favorite abandoned mental hospital/small village)

 

"Looking worryingly like an explosive collar from The Running Man"

Did you mean like the devices the students wore in Battle Royale? Now that was a quality film

 

that is really creepy


*chills down neck*
