WHY don't ISN'T?!!? o_0
yeah, sure.
Ill get one for unicorn hunting...those things are so hard to find.
@James
I suggest you use binoculars instead of using a small camera to look for large non-existent animals.
who says they're large? have you ever seen one?
You want a unicorn? I'll sell you a unicorn. 20 bucks.
I got a Unicorn in my BUTT wanna take a look and see?
I know some Japanese pornographers that could find a use for this thing.
@Mark
What makes you think they're small? have you ever seen one?
You know what, the IQ level of this is reaching depths to low for me to dig into, so lets just end it.
OH and BTW... I did see a unicorn and you didn't. So there... i'm right and ur fucken wrong!!!
The Alienware PC Invasion has begun, USB Buttprobes!
That thing is WAY too big of diameter to be useful. Do you realize how hard it is to drill a hole in a safe door that big around?
Stick to stethoscopes you crook!
Clever.
I keep telling everyone. These weird usb things are always Windows ONLY, sometimes Linux.
If a device supports Linux, usually there's a way to get the driver working in Mac OS X with little (if any) code manipulation. I frequently download Linux apps, recompile them on my Mac, and they work with no code changes at all. The latest one? THC's Hydra (Windows password cracking software).
Oh I'm SO going to catch a unicorn with this!
From what I heard unicorns are large. That thing is too small. If anyone knows a small hole where you can get large animals out of, that endoscope might even be good for something.
once I get one of these... no arse will be safe!
I already feel uncomfortable about my arse around you.
That's what parallels is for, right?
...right?
So does this mean i can now read engadget while getting an at home rectal exam?
I'm not looking forward to what appear to be prongs..
"If somebody's in here, you're in for some serious ass-forkin'!"
The prongs are for the taser option.
You just know someone is going to by this for pr0n "See the place your hand cannot reach, see the world your eyes cannot see".
lmao
+1 to anyone who buys this, uses it and posts the video on youtube. Then again on second thought.
Speculum enthusiasts rejoice!
Well, Mac users have no a-hole so there's not much incentive for bringing it to that platform, is it? Thought that was an obvious one.
Yes, Mac users have an a-whole it is in the place there mouths used to be. The only thing that comes out of a mac users mouth is offensive and foul smelling. Damn dirty hippy mac users. Roflwaffle!
HAhAHAhAHAhAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahHAHAHAHA i think i peed

endo smoke
Some sick guy will be using this to see inside the thing men are always trying to get into.
... ?
A reputable and stable career?
A meaningful relationship based solely on sex, video games, pot smoking and colon exams.
I thought Macs ran OSX which was Linux? Or am I not really paying attention (wouldn't be surprised).
Definitely the latter....
Mac OS X is based on Unix, which Linux is also based on.
Linux apps don't run under OS X, unless you've got dual-booting or a virtualisation software (which will run Linux)
Too bad your limited to 640x480 res - would have been real nice to explore textures for some design work. Of course it's still a possibility to use, but I'll just stick with my scanner until there's a consumer priced HD one out there.
you use your scanner on your colon?
The scanner, couple mirrors, a flashlight and I'm set! ;)
...
Really though, my colon isn't what I imagined for "textures." But in accordance with the product - I should think before I post.
I don't even want to know where these "Textures" you're looking for are.
Um, I can't think of anything to write but I still elt compelled to make some kind of comment.
Unicorns...I love you Engadget.
no, having sex, while eating AND watching TV... haven't you ever watched Seinfeld?
stupid reply button... when is someone going to fix this site?
I could actually see this being useful for working on cars and motorcycles, when you're trying to see up behind a panel or something like that.
However, the specs state that it's 700mm long which is about 27.5 inches... having a it plugged into your laptop with only 2 feet of length might be difficult to get it into those tight spots under say, a car hood.
LOL.... Medical use? which part of the body?
Has the creator ever seen a real Bronchoscope, Colonoscope or Gastroscope? I wonder how this thing can turn and curl within the body tracts without controls not to poke any holes, plus it need to pump air into the tracts to keep them inflated to allow a clear image; not just a camera mounted to something flexible.....
for other use, it should also include a shutter button, I don't think it will be the most convenient time to go back to the pc and press a button to capture anything...
right. because we all just are dying to give ourselves are own rectal exam with out paying for it by a doctor. And you know what, we want to share it with people. we want to take a camera, shove it up in our glory hole, then post the video on u tube for evry1 to see!
WOW
this is a stupid product. Only an idiot would use this. What do you do when the peice of junk breakes and you have a camera stuck up you butt and the cable broke?! PUSH!
they'll probably send it to you riddled with STD's on them so when you shove it up there, you die. Herpes, AIDS, Sifilis, HIV, Gonorrhea.
Half of those aren't STD's but hey, its still going up there isnt it?!
What idiot invented this?
