Christmas Shopping For Your Nephew

colenski writes "My vote for the coolest toy of the decade so far has to lie with the EyeClops Bionic Eye. As one reviewer noted, simply, "Microscopes never worked this well or looked this good when I was a kid." An ingeniously simple and brilliantly designed product, the EyeClops plugs into your TV and magnifies anything you put it on 200 times. Brain dead simple to use, EyeClops is a cheap $40 US / $60 Cdn gift that your nephew or nerdy niece would probably freak over. Here's some cool and disturbing pictures I got after about 20 minutes playing with it. Check out the money shot." I always struggled to focus through a microscope as a kid, and this looks like a great inexpensive present for a little kid since every cool chemistry kit is totally nerfed now. Any other fun ideas?

    "I think it is a little ignorant blaming this on the bush administration."

    You may have missed the irony behind the entire comment. Bush isn't smart enough to pull something like this off. Everyone knows that - blaming him for something he isn't capable of doing is sarcasm at it's best. Contempt conveyed! :) "Be part of the solution not the problem."

    And if that doesn't work out, try being a list mom instead :)

    when the leaders of your country are blatant criminals, and jack-booted gov't thugs carry people off without warrants to detention centers that explicitly protect those who torture -- polite discussion is over.

    this is absurd: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=352789&cid=21263533

    anyone in the US who is not talking about this is asleep
