Third Eye Behind

Ok the big hyped up news today is this NYU Professor Wafaa Bilal who supposedly implanted a camera in his head to take photos for a year. Here is a link: http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2010-12/professor-installs-headcam-starts-tracking-world-behind-him

This is so lame for two major reasons:

1) Technically, a camera is not implanted in his head. It's supposedly a titanium disc that the camera magnetically attaches to. WAIT! is titanium even magnetic? Nope! Publicity hype. So he gets on the news for implanting an accessory mount in the back of his head. wowee.

2) THE MOUNTING POINT IS IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! So he's gonna get shots for a year of stuff in back of him. Wow, that is not interesting at all, except for people that follow him and make faces at him.

If he really had the guts he would implant, well first an actual wireless camera or a mount on his forehead between his eyes, where the true third eye is located. Plus pictures would be more interesting.

Wafaa, we already have built in mounting points for cameras on our head. They are called ears. Hmm, even better, I predict that you will be one-upped by a blind person with an eye socket camera mount...
