    I think that a large portion of the /. community falls under the "malfunctioning eye" category.

  2. A little Bionic history: by mESSDan · · Score: 4, Funny

    First off, don't be fooled by the date on this article. Steve Austin has been testing bionic equipment since his crash at NASA.

    My only question for this "new" technology is: Do we still have to listen to that damned "Bionic" noise everytime we focus on something with our bionic eyes? I mean geez, that noise got old fast, not to mention that it makes it hard to be discrete when you're using your bionic vision on the hot chick standing next to you. She hears the noise, looks over at you, sees your bionic chubber and knows what YOU'VE been doing. C'mon NASA, hook us up.

    ;)

    Using space technology...

    "Space technology"? What is this, the 1950's?

    "Hey, Space Jimmy, time for your Space Math lesson."
    "Spaceriffic!"
    "What's space two plus space two?"
    "Space four!"
