    Will the glasses black out if a Microsoft product comes on screen? Or will they turn blue?

    This is another way of starting a sig with this and ending it with that.

    "What instructions are there on the laundry tab ?"

    Not sure about Windows users, but for those with OSX 10.2 and greater it should read: "Hand Wash in iSync or iClean only"

    Yes. MS recommends that when this happens you remove the glasses, fold them up, put them in the case, get them back out, and them put them back on...oh yea, and they recommend installing SP2.

    Auto dry? Auto fit? Auto lace? If it ain't up to McFly's standards, it ain't worth purchasing.

    Motorola and Oakley better check with their legal departments...Suntiger Inc. might try and sue to protect their intellectual property for "blue blocking sunglasses" which sounds eerily similar to "blue tooth technology".

  12. They are Stylish!!! by djplurvert · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh yeah baby, that's Stylish with a BIG S.

    Take a gander here at the mp3 version. Don't be fooled by the photography, these babies are BULBOUS! I think they're going for the cyborg look.

    All I know for sure is that when I say them in compusa I just couldn't stop laughing.

    I can't imagine using those things snowboarding. They look like they'd fly off with one quick turn of the head. I like lightweight and simple glasses for boarding. They WILL come off your face, unless of course, you are much better than me and NEVER find yourself yardsailing down the slope. Did I mention that they look like shit.

      Yea, they are pretty ugly. But look at the guy wearing them. Are those his real teeth? Maybe those caps are part of the antenna. God, I hope not, the guy looks like some reject from a hip-hop video
