Researchers Develop Purely Optical Cloaking
Rambo Tribble writes: Researchers at the University of Rochester have developed a remarkably effective visual cloak using a relatively simple arrangement of optical lenses. The method is unique in that it uses off-the-shelf components and provides cloaking through the visible spectrum. Also, it works in 3-D. As one researcher put it, "This is the first device that we know of that can do three-dimensional, continuously multidirectional cloaking, which works for transmitting rays in the visible spectrum." Bonus: The article includes instructions to build your own.
It's the ROchester MUltidirectional Lens ANgle cloaking system.

Better yet:
1. Invent Cloak
2. Write Story giving directions
3. get slashdotted
4. website becomes invisible.

What I find truly amazing is that there are still enough people around here to actually /. a site.
