S'pose the vodka pills would stop you needing the loo every five minutes when drinking. Success!

No company in their right mind would pass over an advertising opportunity like this...
You know those ads that you roll your cursor over accidentally and they take up half the page?
Think that, only in your eyeball every time you look at a sign, or company logo...
"Prototype contact lenses have been developed that can be used as biosensors that display information about one's body or as a heads-up display (HUD)."
I'm thinking Texhnolyze here, heh.
"Rabbits, ever willing to help us humans out in our forward trek towards becoming half-robot, have been used to test the prototype lenses. The lenses were placed in their eyes for up to twenty minutes, and no adverse effects were documented."
Boo animal testing. Not cool.

All I need in my technolife:
1. HUD contacts connected to my iPod so I can watch videos and scroll thru artists
2. Audio implants in my ears so I don't have to wear earbuds to listen to said iPod

Whooo! I'm a total advocate of The Pill for Men--so long as there's not an attached 'might be permanent' clause--I do want kids someday, after all. But why not up the chances of preventing preggers by getting both parties involved. Women will still have theirs, and men will have theirs, and while of course both parties will be known to occasionally be forgetful, the odds of both parties forgetting to take their pill/shot/ring/etc. is pretty high. So Yay!
And go Quazars, spurting out energy for new stars!

guaranteed that pill consists of some experimental drug will end up permanently fucking with your nutballs somewhere down the line and destroying your hopes of ever having fertile jizz.
guaranteed that pill was invented by a group of women for that very reason
i don't even think female birth control pills are good. messing with your genetics and biological chemicals? are people fucking retarded? these people don't think that there can be some kind of repercussion from twisting the way nature intended us to be?
how about people just stop being pussies and use a condom?
or MAYBE we can all stop being sex-crazed monkeys who want nothing more than to fuck. Men AND women included. Maybe then we can evolve into a more intelligent species

I hate the idea of the vodka pill. I drink because I enjoy it not because I want to get smashed that is just a pleasant side effect. I love the taste of beer, it would be so boring to just take some pills and be drunk. Seems liek a load of shit to me
I assume you're not Russian. Two cute little facts for you:zimtheawesome said:
1)Former German chancellor Helmut Schmitt said, when asked whether it was just a cliché that Russians drank so much, that "it might be a cliché, but it's also the truth. They drink vodka from water glasses."
2)When the Soviet Union fell and they found out that their economy was fucked due to indescribable subventions, they had to keep a few things still subventioned for the countries to not die out. Among those things were staple food, gasoline and vodka.
Note I have nothing against Russians (at least the people, won't lose a comment about the government) but in this case, they're just too awesome.Edit: I apologize to all Russians anyways.
Don't hate me.Anyway, the pill for the man sounds pretty risky, the HUD contact lenses sound like video gaming and real life DO get hard to be told apart, vodka pills are dumb, unless they're taken together with Red Bull pills and black holes are awesome and just show that they're our new energy sources. 350 Suns a year aka the energy of almost ONE SUN PER DAY?! Unfortunately none of you are going to see this
Very interesting, I already knew the second point but interesting nonetheless. BTW, im a canadian....lolGladion said:I assume you're not Russian. Two cute little facts for you:zimtheawesome said:

As someone who drinks regularly (I do engineering at uni, nuff said), and someone who has their RSA (required to server achohol at pubs/clubs ect), I think that vodka pill is a bloody stuipid idea.
If you what to know how much you've had count your drink or if your planning to get plastered collect and count your bottle caps or make a mark on your spirit bottle.
Anyway
The main group who would use these pills are 16 year kids who normally go at parties and the like "Look how cool I am, I can drink this bottle of vodka in 30 seconds." Then spend the next few hours throwing up and recking the night for some poor peroson who is kind enough to stop them from choking on there own vomit. (No offence to any 16s but it is a scientiftic fact the you can't/don't know how to handle your licquire.)
Where was I.... are yes a pill will only have the effect of letting unexperienced drinkers consume more alcohol before they feel the effects of it. But considering Australia's survice of alcohol laws, I doubt it will every be legal to sell in this country.

I'd love it if the contact lenses could increase night vision a la ODST. Only when I wanted of course. Being able to see the darkness around me highlighted by a fine outline would be awesome.
Next step, full cranial augmentation, allowing us to link to things like these contacts with our thoughts alone..
The future looks fun!

While I agree that the HUD lenses are pretty cool; I'd never get them.
I really don't like the idea of sticking a bunch of electronics in my eye. I'd much rather see a sunglasses version. At least that way I can just take them off whenever I want too.
Also, How would we interface with this HUD? Is it just going to read our minds when we need to type something or go to a different page? I mean if all it does is display info on things that have been properly tagged than at best it's another path to advertising; with probable military applications.
