Comments on ‘LG's slider promises 'feel of human skin'’

Ewwwwww 

Thumb Down

Feeling like cold, dead skin can't be a selling point, surely? Ick

Anybody remember the ZX81?...

LG?

It's Lampshade time for you......

Eww 

Unhappy

I'm not sure why but the thought of that gives me the willies.

CYON, CYLON, coincidence? I think not. 

Is it just me or is cyon just a little to close to cylon? An interesting choice of name for a phone that can repliacte human skin.

CYON? 

Aren't they missing an L in there?

Texture of skin!? 

Thumb Down

Thats just downright creepy!

Regardless, a pretty mediocre handset.

Most will likely give it a wide berth.

Hummm 

Gates Halo

I'd rather touch the skin of those hot ladies!

like huiman skin to the touch 

You know, that's actually - well, pretty horrible to be honest. A bit Silence-Of-The-Lambs and all that, like. :/

Feels like silicon and vibrates eh? 

Happy

What's the bet this sells well to a select clientele that make good use of chrome and silicon things that vibrate... ;->

Dissolving Skin 

Alert

Hopefully the outer skin of this silicone phone* will be more durable than the skin of the Nokia N95 which has a propensity to fall off when the phone comes in contact with any Sunscreen or DEET based insect repellent.

* ... this has to be called the sillyfone, surely.

"Anybody remember the ZX81?..."

I think you mean the ZX Spectrum (original model), with the 'dead-flesh' rubber keyboard.

The ZX81 had a membrane keyboard.

How do you clean it? 

Coat

Silicon is pretty porous isn't it? So it wouldn't just wipe clean.

I know my wife's dildo is hard to clean.

re: ZX81 

There was a rubber keyboard accessory for the ZX81 which made it feel close to that of the first gen ZX Spectrum, it was glued on top of the flat keyboard but you still had to press hard to make the buttons work.

My phone's keypad ... 

... is actually made of human skin. I do have to replace it every now and then but it's a cheap, readily available material so it's no problem.

Feels a bit like silicon.

Is that a phone in your pocket? 

Coat

Or are you just happy to see me?

Wrong set of hands? 

It looks like one of the girls has 2 left hands.

What do you think of Apple's Time Capsule?

I'm after for a network-connected HD, and this seems the best option - good router, integrated drive, only one power cable, suitable for PCs as well as Macs.

Mac OS X Tiger out, Leopard back in

I couldn't resist. I went back to Leopard. I've been running Apple's latest operating system for well over a month now, originally 10.5.1 and now 10.5.2, with no untoward effects...
