Stop Paying Attention To Me - All I Want Is An...
I stood on Melbourne’s busiest pedestrian mall for 6 hours on Thursday night to get an iPhone 4. This in itself isn’t a big issue.

Eyeborg Phase II (by eyeborg) “When Canadian filmmaker Rob Spence was a kid, he would peer through the bionic eye of his Six Million Dollar Man action figure. After a shooting accident left him partially blind, he decided to create his own electronic eye. Now he calls himself Eyeborg.” http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/biomedical/bionics/061110-eyeborg-bionic-eye
