![]() I think I can wait for this product. It is bad enough that bookstores place little slivers of metal here and there in the book, as antitheft devices.
You can actually find real things like this on shelves in stores - just not in United States. I saw a light saber that a friend of mine had purchased for his son in Japan. The light saber had a voice chip installed inside it; when you bought the device in its original package, the light saber was connected to the package. You could push buttons on the outside of the package, and the light saber would tell you, in Japanese, about the product.
I guess I should be glad that those little slivers of metal used as anti-theft devices can't talk. Hearing "I hope you intend to pay for me..." over and over would be irritating.
Compare to the memo-voice from War Game (1959) by Philip K. Dick. Comment/Join this discussion ( 1 ) | RSS/XML | Blog This | Additional
