Wow, this completely blew my mind. An excerpt from the website:
Quote:
The Singer Sewing Company has teamed up with Nintendo to create a new sewing machine system using Game Boy technology that automatically sews stitch patterns, buttonholes and lettering. The system, called Izek, includes a sewing machine, Game Boy, connection wire and special cartridge that contains stitch pattern designs.
Things are starting to get out of hand. Definitely proves the adage "People are so busy trying to figure out if they CAN, they don't stop to think if they SHOULD".

You should look into that

They might have allready, it is afterall several years since that one came out, they probably have sewingmachines with VR helmets now, that might even boost the VR helmet market (you'll end up seeing "housewife in sewing euforia kills three after beeing lost in virtual reality", this technology should be handled with respect)

Anyone up to replying to the 800 messenges without replies?
