Artist Wants to Replace Lost Eyeball With Webcam
A one-eyed San Francisco artist, Tanya Vlach, wants to replace her missing eye with a Web cam. There has even been talk of her shooting a reality TV show using the video eye. "There have been all sorts of cyborgs in science fiction for a long time, and I'm sort of a sci-fi geek, with the advancement of technology, I thought, 'Why not?'" said Vlach. I'm a bit perplexed that the obvious things you'd want in a cyborg eye: range finder, infrared/lowlight vision, and a hypno-ray are not discussed in the article.
just let the Borg come to 0, 0, 1 and she'll have her replacement eye in no time.

Infrared and rangefinder is good, but I want the targeting crosshairs.

YES! A brand new prank avenue! Jab a flashdrive in your buddy's brain and he cannot escape the goatse [no link, for humanitarian reasons]. What has been seen can never be unseen!

...as long as the world doesn't look like this.
Who would want a web-cam for an eye anyway? I mean, seriously, it's about 1fps, shitty resolution, terrible image, etc.
If I was paying for a new eye, I'd probably invest more than fifty bucks on it.
Sorry, I just can't read this article without thinking about G'Kar and what he spies with his little eye.

"im sorry ma'am ... is that a recording device in your eye socket ? "
BANNED !!!
...a Logitech Trackball instead?
Sure, it'd be quite useless, but it'd still rock somehow. No?

Well.. the eye socket is already a hole in the brain
Silly me... All this time I thought it was an opening in the skull...
Don't tell me to get a life. I'm a gamer; I have LOTS of lives!
She could have the camera transmit it's images to a screen positioned over her good eye so she could see what was going on.
I have a prostheic eye (wood, not glass - don't ask).
Needless to say, I had a difficult time dating. No girl would ever date me because of my wooden eye. There was one girl, who was OK looking, except she had larger than average ears. So I decided to ask her out. She didn't date much, so she was excited to go out. Even with me! Alas it was not to be.
I asked her, "Would you like to go to the dance Friday night?" She retorts, "Would I! Would I!" Well enough was enough. I tell her, "Forget it! I don't go around calling you Big Ears!"
Nah,you're thinking WAY too small there buddy! What you do is wait until they are asleep,and THEN plug in a flash drive,but not with the wussy Goatse,but with 2G1C on infinite loop! Imagine the horror of having THAT played over and over in your dreamscape!
