Digital Cameras Go Disposable
iforgotmyfirstlogon writes: "Three Japanese companies are trying to make money off "disposable" digital cameras. You pay for using the camera, take it back to the store to get your pictures, and they recycle the camera so someone else can use it CNN story here. I think it's just a matter of (little) time before hordes of enterprising geeks figure out how to get the pics out and reuse it without paying the fee, or simply gut the camera for parts. Can't see how they'll make money..." And at $16 for .3 megapixels, this sounds like more of a novelty than a bargain, considering that 4-megapixel cameras are available now for less than a thousand dollars.
...is a disposable OS! Oh, wait... we already have one... hmmm.
.3Mpix though... not really very good now is it... I wonder if these will fly outside of the tech-hungry Japanese market?

OMG...I was replied to by the Taco!
No, I realize the list is from the last month, but this digi camera idea is a new idea and the other things on the list are also new, stupid, ideas. Don't you think they should be grouped together? Silly me, thinking logical again.
We dance to all the wrong songs.

No, you weren't. You were trolled. And you don't know how to reply to a post.

Actually, I think you'll find it was "cmdrtaco on", as in note that there are two "on"'s at the end of his name instead of one.
This doesn't happen with anyone else's name, and I doubt that Taco would reserve a bug for his own, private usage
No you wern't notice the digustingly high number, its a fake. Notice it says "by CmdrTaco on on"
the on is printer twice, the guy hacked a space in his name and made it "CmdrTaco on"
old stupid trick
