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?

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