That will take some serious hacking to be done, but its still a great idea.]]>Jan 17th 2007 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/17/sanyo-massage-chairs-also-detect-lies/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/17/sanyo-massage-chairs-also-detect-lies/But since when did chairs start shipping with api's?

Chairs of the future.

Clerk: "Okay then, here's your reciept, and here's your software and sync cord"
Customer: "Uh.. for my sofa?"
Clerk: "Yep, USB 4.0, I'll have you know. Syncs directly to your computer"
Customer: "Syncs... what?"
Clerk: "Who cares? We'll throw USB ports on anything these days."

maybe with a little software hax0ring I can turn my 2 megapixel camera into a 10 megapixel camera]]>Jan 17th 2007 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/17/sanyo-massage-chairs-also-detect-lies/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/17/sanyo-massage-chairs-also-detect-lies/
The idea isn't to install Linux and put huge neon "lying" lights all over the place. Its talking about an interesting opportunity for hackers to interface with the human body, rather than just machines. Its also a fun project to learn to understand how the machine interprets the humans stiffness, and to play around with electronics in general.

Its not about making a lie detecting chair, its about making a chair detect lies. Its about the challenge and the experience. The point is not to come out with a awesome chair, but to have learnt more about technologies interaction with people.

In your example, it would be discovering that your camera is a downgraded model from a 10MP camera, that it has the potential to be 10MP, and hacking it so that it is 10MP.]]>Jan 17th 2007 10:16PM
