You can file this one under 'Future technology I'm not terribly keen on ever becoming reality' (long name - big drawer). Scientists over at the University of Washington, generally known as the wackiest of all the universities by those in the know me, have developed a contact lens that will beam a display directly onto the eye, negating all that plasma/LCD/OLED/slate and chisel debate.

As you can see from the picture, the lucky rabbit early adopter is having a whale of a time, experiencing his first truly immersive gaming experience of Halo 3. He's slightly saddened by the fact that they still haven't found a way to power these contact lenses without sticking a power lead into his eyes, however. [Note: I'm pretty sure they didn't actually do that. In fact, I'm almost certain.]

that is animal cruelty and sick and you should not make a joke, why dont they stick the lenses in their own eyes or even yours? or are they scared?
