Sensors In Condoms
This application of Ubiquitous Computing is too good to pass up, if for no other reason than it stands out (no pun intended) from other news items in the field.
From Ananova courtesy of the Paste&Vinegar blog:
"A musical condom designed to play louder and faster as lovers reach a climax is to go on sale in Ukraine.
Grigoriy Chausovsky, from Zaporozhye, said his condoms came fitted with a special sensor that registers when the condom is put on."
While I don't particularly endorse/not endorse this application, it serves to drive home (it's really hard to avoid double-ententres with this) the fact that sensors and processors are indeed becoming ubiquitous. (See my article Why Ubiquitous Computing? for more on this).
So, I have to ask: what next? Will the condom give performance feedback and metrics? ;)
