Will these tattoos come with the horror movie sound when they move? Will they come with a chick stating at you in a creepy way?

I want the LED for retinal implants – it would be great to have my eyes glow red when I am mad, blue when I am sad and white when I am in a Bonnie Tyler video.

I moon a lot of people from NYC and Miami taxis. I’d be willing to sell my ass – so to speak.

Did they really need to go with the creepiest video ever? Weird music, model staring blankly into the camera…

I would definitely NOT want any of those sound effects — creepy!

# 6 Vogie — very creative!

The video looked more like the e-paper like that used in the Kindle than LEDs.

If it does turn out to be LEDs instead, it might be hard to get to sleep with the displays lighting up the bedroom.

People could actually turn green with envy!

Might be fun to have an eye staring out of one’s shoulder, just like in the movie “Manster.”

Just _think_ of the money you’d save on flashlights!

Yeah like I really wanna spam ads to my sexual partner? Maybe if I were a prostitute in NV.

And the FUN of putting yourself into a MRI machine and see all those chips FLY out from your skin and into the tunnel walls.

A white’s only product. And I mean REALLY white!

Looks like some unscrupulous company is trying to inflate it’s stock value with imaginary products.

#5: I’m with you. Stupid. There will always be some dumbbells who feel that they just have to have the latest craze. *shrugs* It’s their money to waste, I guess.

Can you imagine the fun when people start hacking into other peoples displays? I know a few folks that I wouldn’t mind having their foreheads display some disparaging message. There’s also the possibility that if the implant is extensive enough, you could use it as a form of camouflage, or a disguise. Would obese people be more desirable as human billboards because of the greater expanse of display space? I guess you would recharge the system the same way they do newer pacemakers, wireless power. Translucent or even transparent clothing would become popular. If the display logic is fast enough, this would give a whole new meaning to the phrase “YouTube”.

Oh my goodness! How great would that be!!
Not only is “the Illustrated man” one of my fav Bradbury novels, but the *actual* application is limitless:
*Why buy a watch when you can look at either wrist to see what time it is?
*The underside of your forearms could display readily needed information, like who is calling you (with a bluetooth headset+phone on silent)
*A My-Beautiful-Mind-esque authenticator
*Export a twitter sized notepad document directly to your hand, no pen needed
*The Public speaker’s standby of writing notes in between their fingers (read:on the inside of) could be taken to the next level.
*portraits on your body move about, Harry-Potter-style
*Certain functions could only be activated by certain stimuli. The underage Xs on back of hands couldn’t be washed off in the sink, and you could literally tell if your teen got in trouble at school today by looking at their face… These functions would have an intrinsic countdown timer before their removal.
*the heart that loves mom actually beats
*the scantily clad silhouette actually gets up and dances every so often
*the Bad to the bone skull bursts into flame and goes roaring across to the other arm
The Location-based applications are also breathtaking:
*I would personally have a compass on my inner arm, a homage’ to the current season of Heroes, but with a practical twist if tied to GPS on your phone or media device.
*A minimap of your current location, in the style of Gaming HUDs. You are here, there are mailboxes here and here, your friend Dave is that direction, and a starbucks is right in front of you. You have new mail, and are out of ammunition.
*Tactile feedback could be tied to kinetic information exchange. I shake your hand, and we wirelessly exchange digital business cards, similar to the “bump” iphone application, but without the annoying limitations therein (like the need of an iphone)

This looks stupid enough that it will be very popular. There will be shops put on every mainstreet USA and all our children will want one. I want an anaconda put on my you know what. That way when I am aroused…

That design is black. Those are Darkness Emitting Arsenide Diodes, or DEADs.

So, who’s going to allow themselves to flayed so these sheets of silk can be implanted? Can you download designs or text?

Ahh! I got it: Amazon’s mew “Skindle!”
