A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Ha ha, this is full of lol!
that was the most exciting video ever.
How are they going to know what is goin gon at 1:30, when the needle covers the camera?
rather have the camera shoe laces
Smart design. 80 minutes of footage of the ceiling. Better yet, this is potentially the best jpn upskirt cam ever. I'm sure those horny japnese are going to order these.
That's not a pinhole camera. If you need to look up what a "pinhole camera" actually is -> GOOGLE IT.
Just because someone has an ass, and has a hole in that ass, doesn't make him an "asshole".
Or just because all cars have wheels that rotate, doesn't mean their "rotary-powered".
get this right engadget, don't just throw these rather technical terms, just because they sound "right". Pinhole camera is a particular design. This is not a linguistic exercise where you can throw technical terms around, and hope they sound cool enough for everyone to forget what they actually mean....
I'm watching you...
what an awesome pinhole camera
its funny what you find when you add 'video' to the google search... by the way, deal extreme had several 4gb watches for $40-50
I'm so glad I spent 20 seconds of my life reading this comment. The value and importance of this issue is extremely understated.
"Pinhole cameras with CCDs are often used for surveillance because they are difficult to detect", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_camera
shut up shut up shut up
They said " pinhole-sized " .... NOT "pinhole" exclusive definition. Difference.
Wow, is there a bag big enough too carry all this douche?
It said "pinhole-sized" NOT that it was a "pinhole camera."
what an awesome pinhole camera
yeah, and 80 minutes of some gay stuff a lonely guy thinks is funny, w00t just what everyone needs, a watch and a camer, so now you can capture even more embarrassing stuff of your dumb buddies for youtube. GREAT!
....or footage of the back of a watch hand if you record anything between the hours of 1 and 2.
Because the hands totally cover the camera lol !
They don't, Look at the face photo.
Whoosh?
Will this thing be required to make a shutter sound when it takes a picture?
...yes, because putting your wrist up the skirt of random women doesn't draw any attention at all!
You could get some nice cleavage footage by casuslly rubbing your chin or twirling your moustache, though.
That said, which way is "up" on this camera? Looks to me it'll be quite difficult getting shots that aren't vomit-inducingly wobbly. And video without sound? Welcome to 1920.
LMAO Stubb now that was funny!
Well you would be surprised how many people don't pay attention to their surroundings. I work as a CCTV operator and found this old dude walking around the supermarket taking snaps on his mobile phone up oldies skirts......I am talking 60+yo women here. And the best bit of the story is that he was caught, arrested and charged.
Possibly the only thing creepier than an old dude snapping upskirts of young women:
an old dude snapping upskirts of old women.
is that engadget studios?
Anyone else a bit creeped out by this technology? Big brother is watching.
They could have hidden it better had it been a gold face with black stones for hours. Have it replace the 6 o'clock spot, but have holes at 3, 9 & 12 as well.
It is an interesting concept. I'm trying to figure out what I would need it for however.
I would like it to be a little more high res as well.
This was my thought exactly. By having a black dot next to diamond-like stones just calls attention to the lens..
progress. your managers have been recording you on pin-hole cameras for years. now you can do it yourself.
watch porn? (no pun intended)
@rony: no pun taken.
wow im going to get one of these freaking sweet . what an awesome " PIN HOLE CAMERA "
Nice watch, but what happens when you need to snap pictures of the secret microfilm at 7 past the hour? You're screwed!!! :)
Except for the fact that the picture clearly shows that the hands do not cover the crystals or the camera at any point in time......
How many weirdos do you think will hide these in bathrooms in anticipation of a good looking guest needing the loo?...
I wonder if the picture cuts out at the 7th minute after every hour?
It doesn't look like the minute hand covers the hole in the last pic.
You'd see that the hands don't reach the camera considering they don't touch the gems denoting the numerical positions. So no problem with that.
@Phenoum: Do me a favor, check this site out some time--> http://www.thefreedictionary.com/joke . You'll be surprised what turns up. K?
Diamonds/pseudodiamonds on a man's watch? Ugh.
I remember working in an office, and behind the receptionists desk was a clock, as you came in the door. Behind the wall, was the recording equipment for the on-site cameras, and one of the cameras was a pinhole camera inside that clock. It really surprised me, and I have never looked at those styles of clocks the same, ever again.
would it be awkward if it had LED flash and i went off while snapping a dirty picture
what do you guys think of how the low light performance of this would be?
Man, only serious pervs will want one of these.
Uhmmm, just our of curiosity, where can I get one?
