    Does this count?

  2. Image of device by PhatboySlim · · Score: 1 · on Vein Patterns to Verify Identity
    They had a machine that sounds almost exactly like this one at the Wired NextFest conference in Chicago. From talking with the device manufacturer the scanner makes three infrared shots:

    1. Down to the skin with an infrared device that picks up traces of hemoglobin in the blood.
    2. Back up to the camera with that information.
    3. Back down to the skin to show the results of the first two steps.

    All this happens in a timeframe of 30f/s. The dark colors on the picture are the veins, the lighter color is just the skin the light is projected on since the hemoglobin is the only thing that the camera picks up.

    Here is an image of that device:

    heres one that looks interesting.It can record dvd's too. But the best part is that you can connect external USB HD's so its very expandable.

    There are compelling reasons to buy the Xbox HDTV support(in game) Dolby Digital 5.1(in game not just cut scenes) Plus now with Video Conferencing when it comes out there will be all the more reason to get an Xbox. I have both a ps2 and an xbox and i don't even play the ps2 anymore. QuenteCafe

  6. Concentrate on getting the PS3 out by amonteiro · · Score: 1 · on Sony To Ship Enhanced PSX Console/DVR Combo

    What they need to do is concentrate on getting the PS3 out instead of trying to milk whats left of the market dry. Most hardcore gamers got the ps2 when it came out and when the graphics started to look dated switched to the Xbox. Quente
