Build Your Own Teleprompter
bigt_littleodd writes "Ever been in the situation where a certain expensive piece of equipment would be ideal to do the job at hand, but you would probably never ever need it to use it again, thus making the purchase/rental of equipment prohibitive? Here's a guy that had such a need and built a teleprompter with easy-to-find materials, a camcorder and a laptop."
Was I the only one who read that as "build your own teleporter?"
Too much Si Fi....
I keep squinting and saying "Huh, is that a photo? Or a rendered graphic? No ... it's a photo! But hmmm ... it looks like a cool rendering."
I'd be curious about how the photos were taken.

Maybe the little rectangular object that protruded from President Bush's backside during the debates was really a wireless teleprompter that transmitted wirelessly to an implant in the visual cortex of his brain. Better to rent than buy, though, unless it is upgradable.

No, Bush didn't rent that, he bought it, and it was a good investment seeing as how often he probably uses it.
...Had this been an actual emergency, we would have fled in terror, and you would not have been informed.
Authority questions you. Return the favor.
Actually, to get everything accurate and to compensate for the dissipation of the signal, you should use something like this:
/\/\/ O> 0O> \\
/ \\\/\/
That should just about handle it...
I understand most of this, except why you're attaching electrodes to your testicles.
Seriously I need your guys' money. I don't have a laptop or a camcorder lying around. I have never been able to afford either. $%#@$(^!
Oh, the fun you can have with a teleprompter.
