  2. Wearable crap .. or edible undies? by lemonhed · · Score: 0, Troll

    Its really a dumb idea. This whole wearable computer business. Why would I want to wear a computer? do I wear my remote control? do I wear my cell phone? do I wear my PDA?

    I use a frying pan all the time, but do you see me lugging a pot on my head all day long!

    I can see it now... First wearable computers.. Next edible computers.... And finally... disposable computers..

    how lame.
