Artist Wants to Replace Lost Eyeball With Webcam 156
A one-eyed San Francisco artist, Tanya Vlach, wants to replace her missing eye with a Web cam. There has even been talk of her shooting a reality TV show using the video eye. "There have been all sorts of cyborgs in science fiction for a long time, and I'm sort of a sci-fi geek, with the advancement of technology, I thought, 'Why not?'" said Vlach. I'm a bit perplexed that the obvious things you'd want in a cyborg eye: range finder, infrared/lowlight vision, and a hypno-ray are not discussed in the article.
That's easy. . . (Score:4, Funny)
just let the Borg come to 0, 0, 1 and she'll have her replacement eye in no time.

If I was paying for a new eye, I'd probably invest more than fifty bucks on it.

Sorry, I just can't read this article without thinking about G'Kar and what he spies with his little eye.

Actually it would be funny. She'd have to leave her eye at the counter. And then...
Some guy - What happened to your eye, lady?
Tanya Vlach - Movies prices, these days... They cost 10$ and an eye.

I have a prostheic eye (wood, not glass - don't ask).
Needless to say, I had a difficult time dating. No girl would ever date me because of my wooden eye. There was one girl, who was OK looking, except she had larger than average ears. So I decided to ask her out. She didn't date much, so she was excited to go out. Even with me! Alas it was not to be.
I asked her, "Would you like to go to the dance Friday night?" She retorts, "Would I! Would I!" Well enough was enough. I tell her, "Forget it! I don't go around calling you Big Ears!"

At least she could get 3D half price. Except she may wonder why the actors keep waiving shit in front of the camera.
