Oct 7, 2008 - The audio is bad as it is. The irony. Usually if I don't want someone to hear my conversation I just stop talking to them. I crack me up.Oh, and they didn't mention it but this can actually cure cancer and bring world peace for $79.95. For just $2 a day you can help bring world peace.email me to find out where to send the money.

BedStuyBro Says:

tonyrosam Says:

Oct 7, 2008 - "ITS A WITCH! BURN IT!" sums up the view of 90 percent of human population to new ideas. heres a thought, if you don't understand something, ask a fucking question about it!

WhiteEuropa Says:

Oct 7, 2008 - This is ridiculous, imagine what the government could do with this. start reading our thoughts.. the wonderful surveillance democracy that we live in is nothing but tyranny

herrobin Says:

Oct 7, 2008 - WhiteEuropa, thank you for proving your wonderful ignorance to society...how bout thinking instead of the harm that this can cause but the greatness, allowing people who lose the ability to speak, such as those with lou gherig's disease, to be able to regain such an ability and communicate with friends and family again

fitom7 Says:

Oct 7, 2008 - this is DUMB... if someone wants to get a message across to someone else ... send a Freakin text message... its way faster and NO guessing involved...

wiiario Says:

Oct 7, 2008 - "ur so stpid.wow urbr lam.i no u suk." That really makes sense, doesn't it? Because thats just what you see on a usual text message. Not to mention the advanced knowledge to know how to develop a machine that can interpret nerve signals and form them into understandable english. Do YOU know how to do this? Do you know that this is an amazing step in communication? Think about what you say.

susanedvideos Says:

vincetheboosh Says:

Oct 7, 2008 - This would be wonderful for people with ALS. Stephen Hawking would still be able to communicate with his great mind.
