    Unlike Brickhouse Security, we won't go so far as to call this thing "invisible," but when placed in the ear, all but the most eagle-eyed among us are likely to overlook it. The elaborately named Secret Service Invisible 2-Way Micro Headset comes with an easily hidden wireless transmitter that plugs into any mobile with a 2.5-millimeter audio output. Once rigged up, the wearer can have someone listen in on conversation in a room while also receiving input from said listener. Unfortunately, this likely Jack Bauer-approved gizmo demands a practically ludicrous $649.95, so it looks like we'll be sticking to brute force and walkie talkies here. Check out a demo video after the jump -- but be sure and kill the speakers first, alright?[Thanks, Tony M.]

  • Boogie beaten by babbling baby

    We have two responses to this video of Boogie gameplay: first, Boogie appears to be totally broken. Second, awwwwwwwwwww.NeoGAFfer Captain N's niece Kaelyn got a gold medal on "Brick House" by yelling incoherently into the microphone. For those of you unfamiliar with the Commodores' signature song (ignore the video in that link), it has words and rhythm. We know she's playing in easy mode, and we're glad that Kaelyn was able to experience such a rousing success at such an early age, but shouldn't scoring in a rhythm game be based on ... some kind of criteria? There's a difference between casual games and games that you can win without even being aware that you're playing.Boogie owners-- the gauntlet has been laid down. How well can you perform by yelling nonsense syllables with no rhythm?[Via NeoGAF]
