We've had numerous innovations for the deaf, as well as for those with less-than-perfect vision. Now, the time has come to employ
artificial corneas for the blind.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany have developed the gadget so that it will attach to the patient's natural cornea. The animal testing phases of this invention are complete, and the human trials are scheduled to begin some time next year.

Over at Instructables user fungus amungus has shown how to make a pretty scary looking USB hub for your computer.
This would do great to scare off your kids or maybe even a dog that has been chewing your cables... I know mine have been chewed several times. I must say this would also make a nice little conversation piece if your computer happens to be in a public area, and if you could maybe pop a small motion detector or camera in the head this would serve as a great little security setup in your home, just ahve the webcam run to your computer to record.

These
Lobie accessories were created for all of those who cannot stand to wear earbuds for their music listening needs. I personally don't understand what it is about earbuds that makes you people cringe, but I digress.
Lobies fit onto your earbuds and wrap around your ears, transforming your headphones. I can see someone sitting in a office realizing that no one's done this yet, and that much I can respect.

Seeking revenge? Look no further! The buzz box is here to drive your enemies insane, minute by agonizing minute.
In a nutshell, the
buzz box emits a buzzing noise, not unlike a mosquito would put off. Just hide one [or twenty] of these babies in your rival's pad. At first, they'll wonder if they're even hearing a noise. By the end of the day, they're curled up and rocking in a corner, foaming at the mouth as they curse the demi-gods of buzzing and mosquitoes.

I have to say, this is actually a pretty slick design. The basic concept is this: build your own straw using straw pieces and connector pieces.
Build it however you want. Now to some of the duller of you, this may not sound like much, but if you know anything about suction and...knex pieces, then you will see great opportunities. Let me put an example in your head. You could shape the straw so that there are 2 straws going in 2 separate drinks.

Do you know anyone who buys into every hoax picture they see? Or perhaps every Saturday, they go Bigfoot hunting. This ghost finding camera is the perfect
gift prank for that very person.
This is a disposable camera that will, quite simply, add a 'ghost' to every picture its user takes. This saves you and your chump some bucks; instead of editing the spirits into your photography using expensive editing software, it's done for you! How convenient.

This Gadget puts a whole new spin on "easy." All you have to do is simply walk up to your digitally locked door, tap your card or key fob on the unit, and open your door. Not to sound like a droning infomerical, but it really is that easy. Who ever liked inserting, turning, and pulling out, anyway? (Yes, I am talking about standard door locks and keyes.) Well, say goodbye to manual, it's all about digital now. Oh, and say goodbye to lock pickers too; there is no keyhole for those hoodlums to access.

This gadget is for the Bill Nye in all of us. This very powerful Digital Microscope zooms up to 200X. That is pretty impressive, and to show you just how powerful this thing is, here is a picture of the name "Jackson" on a $20 bill.
You can even take high quality stills and video of your findings and display and save them on your PC or Mac. Have you ever wanted to see what easter eggs motherboard manufacturers left on their products? Want to study chips? Love biology? This powerful unit is great for all of the above.

First,
the
iPhone was everything but bricked, leaving all of the unlocked and hacked iPhones raped by Apple firmware updates. Then, our
hackers fixed it...almost. The third-party apps were working, but no one could actually
dial. Now, it is
back in full force, calls included.[Read the rest of this post]September 30, 2007 by Truman
When you are on the road, you are in your element. Your car represents you. You've got the music going, you're sipping coffee; you feel great. Then some jerk starts riding your tail. You don't want to resort to immature hand gestures, but you need to let this clown know who's boss 'round these parts. Here is where the Driving LED Emoticon comes in.
The battery powered device is attached to your back window.
