If I could choose a super power, I would pick the ability to erase people's memory. And lucky for me, I've just been granted a free wish from The Magic Taco. Get ready, everyone. Pew! Done! Whew, now we never have to write a new post again. Check out these "new" links we prepared for you today:

These are not the planetary hallucinations you will get after consuming large amounts of single-malt scotch.

If not, just enjoy the photos.

Iris Camera Concept Shoots Just What You See
This is a prototype of a camera that uses biometric iris tracking to control the frame and capture photographs. Just double blink to snap a photo! Then, insert a USB stick into your nostril to transfer files, press bellybutton to activate WiFi... Hm, that might be a bit much...

Never put your teeth on a brown Skittle again!  If you're like Van Halen, we have a solution for you that uses a TAOS RGB color sensor to sort this rainbow jumble into neat piles, for no particular reason at all.

If I could choose a super power, I would pick the ability to erase people's memory... Wait, was that a mirror in front of me? Woops.
