@limegreenbean: ouch.

@sjschwar: I wouldn't doubt it but I don't know, I just remember a few years ago when I had a buckyball on the front of one of my chem books and a nanotube on the front of my calc book.

@AOClaus: it doesn't necessarily immediately recombine, and that has nothing to do with the reason they call it a neutral pH.

This will probably replace my current love for the buckyball...

@macrumpton: Am I the only one that looked at the patent?

This is the view of the back end

combine this with the jiggly boobs app and you've got a deal.

@AyeEye: Optical Snake Oil... one drop in each eye every day and your cataracts wont be noticeable, your PRK scars will stop giving you glare, you'll say goodbye to your readers, your floaters wont bother you and your glaucoma will be a worry of the past.

@Zaos: For the people that need this kind of lens, it will be useless. The downsides definitely outweigh the benefits, especially with the current other lenses available already for these people (progressive lenses).

yeah, but shouldn't your head be inside the sphere for it to work?

I use FRAPS for screenshots and didn't even think about putting the default capture folder into my dropbox public folder till now... great idea!

@AOClaus: that's not entirely accurate. Pure water still splits from H2O to OH- and H+ (H3O+), at room temp the concentration is 0.0000001 M, higher temps cause higher disassociation and more conductivity.

@Harrier: mineral oil is about 6.7 lbs/gal, lighter than water, but still pretty heavy. There are a lot of steel cases heavier than 35 lbs, the only problem with transport would be the liquid inside sloshing around.

@blaaps: I really wish I could promote this.

@MetallicaRulez0: oops, dp

@MetallicaRulez0: if he put everything into condoms... would that be protection enough for you?

This makes me so happy, and really envious of the guts (and ingenious'ness) this guy has to create this.

@DrSpaceboots: mineral oil doesn't conduct electricity.

[physics major+optometry student+optician] makes me really anxious about tearing this whole thing apart.

@Shiverr!: Technically the billboard is "in focus" but the resolution isn't going to be high enough to make anything out on it. It's going to be like shooting a picture on an old camera phone as opposed to a nice DSLR.
