Sony Introduces Digital Binoculars That Record Photos & HD Videos

From Sony Introduces Digital Binoculars That Record Photos & HD Videos

Too bad the price doesn't add up. In terms of technology it has nothing that my Sony DSC-HX9v (~$350) can't do, so we are expected to believe that the rest of the $1650 price gap is due to the casing? I almost said optics until I realized these are 10x optical, same as my camera, with 20x digital so basically you are being charged $1650 extra for the casing and the viewfinder.

Still badass, but right now priced for VERY early adopters. And the stalker gloves aren't included.

On sleep deprivation and Incan Monkey Gods

From: Dilbert comic strip for 08/03/1992 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive. I was trying to show this strip to a coworker who is dangerously toying with the harsh mistress that is Insomnia. What shocked me is how quickly I was able to look up the strip, which was published when he was just 11 years old, and two weeks before my just-out-of-college ass shipped out to US Army Basic Training.

The Black Hole

If this was a minigolf hole, you can't reach B from A. Ever. If this was a room lined with mirrors, and you lit a candle at point A, you can't see it from B, not even reflected. Update: I guess I didn't explain this all the way through. You can't reach B from A with just one stroke, there's no direct line between them, and there is no way to bounce the ball (assuming perfect conditions). Thanks to Ben for pointing this obvious error.
