I can confirm that my mind was comprehensively molested. At 3am, I was seriously considering climbing over the garden fence and breaking into their house to find and destroy it (and the rest of their posessions, if necessary).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Mind Molester]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am ordering one of these NOW]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[rocafellaice]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Mind Molester]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have a number of devices that do this when their batteries are about to croak... and they are usually hidden under the bed/behind the couch/etc.  The sound itself carries in such a way, and with the single chirp - it is almost impossible to triangulate without more information.<br><br>I have often found myself searching rooms sq. foot by sq. foot to locate the offending device - usually in the middle of the night when that intermittent chirp has driven me out of sleep/bed/happiness to do so.  <br><br>I want a dozen to get rid of/annoy neighbors-children-pets.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tsg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Mind Molester]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's great, but to be more effective, they should've made it chirp at random intervals.

I just read this then had gone to my usual forums on myspace.  Well in a iPod forum someone commented that her iPod had been beeping for weeks.  I pointed her back to this article.

And thanks mike for telling me about the birds stuff, I know a kid with a few african greys.  It would be great if they later came with either a random switch (that makes the time intervals random) or if they included a the light sensor that one guy was talking about.  It wouldnt be that hard to actually make your own if you have electronics knowledge and access to the needed tools.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[eMarrs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Mind Molester]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</guid><description><![CDATA[Phoenixfury,<br><br>you might also want to tell her that she probably has the alarm set on her ipod.  Mine was doing that for a month (in addition to turning itself on and draining the battery) before i figured it out.<br><br>and i can also think of tons of places i want to hide these beeping things.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[douglas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Mind Molester]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</guid><description><![CDATA[Another inexpensive method is to use a cheap digital watch that has an alarm.

Drove my parents nuts.  Now that I'm a full blown electrical engineer, its funny to see everyone getting so worked up over such a silly product.  I should have started selling them and by now I could be retired!  For anyone intersted in a schematic or kit, just do a google or ebay search for "electronic cricket".  Here is a kit on ebay that showed up...  see item #3866977951]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[proee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Mind Molester]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</guid><description><![CDATA[lol.

The genius of his "cricket" was the added light sensor that turned off the chirp.  He would hide them in the ceiling or other dark place with a chirp interval of about 13 seconds.  Much harder to ignore and even harder to find because as soon as you went searching with the flashlight, the critter became suddenly mute.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Craig]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Mind Molester]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</guid><description><![CDATA[here are some links...<br>usa...<br>http://www.gibsonteched.com/vmk104.html<br>uk...<br>http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=22547&&source=14&doy=search<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tex210]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Mind Molester]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</guid><description><![CDATA[Here's an even better one, it stops when you turn on the lights...<br>http://www.transeltech.com/kits/nc-1p.html]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Larry Armstrong]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Mind Molester]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</guid><description><![CDATA[See thread below of a person living with similar beeping device somewhere in their house...<br><br>http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/printthread.php?t=239068&page=1&pp=30]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Waruwaru]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on The Mind Molester]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/11/the-mind-molester/</guid><description><![CDATA[Anyone have links to a schematic to build one?
