Laser HUD Projected on Retina

Posted by michael on from the hope-it-has-a-screen-saver dept.

Ligur writes: "The scoop is at the Seattle P-I: 'This fall, Bothell-based Microvision Inc. plans to give people the same cybernetic experience that once existed only in a screenwriter's imagination. Through a device called Nomad, people will be able to read information from a small, wearable computer that projects an image over their normal vision.'" Looks like they've come a long way in the past three years.

      HUMOUR

      Two words:

      NOT FUNNY.

      Admittedly, humor of the absurd can be pretty damn funny. But this comment wasn't absurd. It was just dumb. Eye-rollingly, head-shakingly dumb.

      I think humor is one of the last things left that our peculiar western society allows us to make purely subjective value judgements about. Things that were once morally unthinkable are now valid lifestyle choices. Prejudice, even if based on experience or education, is unacceptable. Wanna shut down the conversation at a dinner party? Start expressing the opinion that certain things are just absolutely right and others are absolutely wrong.

      But funny is always open to interpretation. If it ain't funny, you're free to say so. Loudly, if you want. Won't offend anybody.

      So yeah, I guess you could say I subscribe to a universal humor scale whereby everything is judged. It's called my sense of humor, and I consider it absolute.

      Nyah.

    UW is the University of Wisconsin, not Washington. Just because you happen to register uw.edu first, does not make it right.
