PDA/Radiation Detector

Posted by michael on from the tricorder dept.

sgpennebaker writes "This article tells of lab rats who've built a cell phone/PDA/GPS device that also lets you surf the web and, oh, yeah, sniff out any dirty bombs that might have gone off in your area. Then you can cancel your meetings, call family and friends and send GPS coordinates to whoever it is that cleans up afterwards. I'm waiting for the next generation; I want one that also tracks hungry, angry bears and emits a loud noise when it senses their proximity."

    Nothing like attracting their attention, right?

    I want a cellphone that alerts me whenever there is a slut in proximity that wouldn't mind being screwed by a pasty-skinned-underweight-nerd!

    This PDA I've developed keeps away tigers.

    Now you don't see any tigers do you?
