  1. Too easy- You really should have used your mad photoshop skillz on that scale bar up top… 🙂


  2. Been a while since I’ve seen one outside of its natural habitat. Brings back many memories!


  3. You can see this *** 2 time’s. one in left eye end second on right ;]


  4. It’s a baby robot probably abandoned by a too versatile mother. Look how its sad eyes implore for your attention !


  5. I know what’s it but i can’t send the damn mail


  6. silly, this is version 1 of HAL, then they realized he just didn’t look creepy enough without glowing. 🙂


  7. Why did I find it easier to name the gadget than to name the prize…


  8. Is the make and model number really required? I actually burnt out one of these things the other day.


  9. Good catch Rar. It was a cut and past issue. No you don’t need to provide the make and model…


  11. Hmm… if I win, looks like I’ll have to actually get a USB gadget to charge with this 🙂


  12. wow… that was easy – first guess got it right lol, not gonna enter though as i don’t really fancy the prize this week


  13. I guess I don’t work with this stuff too frequently… in studying the picture, it looks so darn familiar, yet I can’t quite place it… although I get the impression that the image is showing only a smaller portion of the whole. Am I right, perhaps?


  15. when do you expect to have a winner


  16. whats the answer already?i wanna know if i got it rite


  17. it’s the new generation of bionic eyes. 20 Megapixels is more than enough for your old organic eye.
    This one simply plugs in your braain and you gave 20-20 vision.
    For the ones who were born blind or have suffered at a young age, we advice buying the memory database
    wich helps the brain to interpret the images.
    All this for the jaw-dropping price of 100 000$.
    Order right now.
    Any damage occured during reparatory surgeri will be discounted by the hospital, however, later damage
    exceeds the 20 hr.waranty will be payed by the instalee.
