If youve never pulled your weight during the wee hours of the morning (like, right now), you simply cant understand what a godsend these things really are. The so-called Wink Glasses are little more than a USB peripheral that clips onto ones spectacles when using the computer; if the wearer doesnt blink every five seconds, the device begins to fog up your shades until you snap back into it. In theory, anyway, this acts to keep you awake and alert while computing for hours on end, but everything goes to waste if you simply detach it or remove your eyeglasses entirely. At any rate, itll ship in Japan (where else, right?) early next month for an undisclosed sum, and were already betting itll have great success in the gag gift market if nothing else.Wednesday, August 5, 2009
