cottonbuds writes "Researchers at Human Media Lab, Queen's University in Canada presented the ECSGlasses: eye contact sensing glasses that report when people look at their wearer. When eye contact is detected, the glasses stream this information to appliances to inform these about the wearer's engagement. According to HML.Blog the ECSGlasses uses a wearable, wireless Eye-Contact Sensor (1.3MB .jpg) to gauge when the user receives eye-contact from an onlooker. eyeBlog uses this information to record and publish face-2-face conversations without dividing the user's attention between the event being recorded, and the device being used to record it. Moreover, because eyeBlog uses eye-contact to start and stop recording, users do not need to sift through hours of footage to find interesting segments. If you are the academic type you can read the paper (2.2MB .pdf), otherwise the video in .mpg (1:49min, 320x240, 7.5MB), or mp4 (1:49min, 320x240, 4.9MB) should explain everything. Video Mirror: .mp4 .mpg."
Ah, excellent. You made a reference to how some people keep on staring at you, and the subsequent dry humor of stating "Why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer." In doing this, you've connected the colloquial expression with this device that allows you to record video. Subsequently, you are indirectly pointing out that this device is able to fulfill the purpose of taking a picture on behalf of the person doing the staring.
A clever reference, for which others have modded you up with sufficient Funny mods. The reason for this is that they have discovered the aforementioned humor in your posting and wish to recognize you for it.
Everybody hates it when people explain the joke, but I wanted to preempt the handful of slashdolts who were about to jump in and try and make a feeble joke out of explaining yours.
Now please mod this up +5 Funny. Thanks.
... the blowjob your cousin would always give you...
