Throwable WiFi Camera

Dotnaught writes "The Eye Ball is a spherical, throwable WiFi camera designed to precede police into areas where there's no direct line of sight. It's manufactured by O.D.F. Optronics, Ltd, an Israeli maker of vision-based systems for the defense, security and consumer electronics markets. Remington Arms Co. has won approval from the Federal Communications Commission to sell the Eye Ball domestically, with law enforcement being likely buyers. The cost is about $4,800 for two EyeBalls (who would want just one?), which apparently also includes video monitoring gear."

    Law enforcement? Please. These things will be rolling into showers, changing rooms, and bathrooms about five minutes after they hit the market, with DVD sales following right behind (UPSK1RT!!!).

    Also, the word is "precede," if you mean "going first."

    I was just playing Splinter Cell, so I'm wondering why they don't just use those launchable cameras you can attach to your silenced assault rifle's grenade launcher?

    Garrett called and he said he can help you with this, including a bionic eye. All he wants is for you to stop calling him taffer and chasing him all the time. Even a thief needs to make a living you know.

    I could have sworn that I read "Throwawayable" Wifi camera. I was about to head to Walgreens/Costco/wherever and purchase their entire stock.

    On an unrelated note, would I be considered a "peeping tom" if I rolled one of these things into a cheerleader's locker room?

    Hey! Mouth-breathing inbred retarded asshole hick moron shitbrain fuckstick! Yeah, you! Why did you use an apostrophe for Nazi's, huh?

    If you could stop masturbating that tiny shriveled dick of yours for just 5 seconds a day, oh, I'm sorry, 5 SECOND'S (just so you understand), it would have been crystal-fucking clear to any average idiot that "teacher's" was singular possessive.

    Fuck, I hope you come back and read this just so you know I hate you.
