It's just a hack. You're on Hacker News. If you don't like it, don't upvote it.
This reminds me of when I brought a friend of mine to Maker Fair in NYC last year... We were surrounded by a strange amalgamation of weird gadgets and "art", and sometimes the line between the two is not always so clear :) The entire time we were there she kept asking "but what is it FOR?!" or "but who would WANT a thing like that?". I've always found myself asking questions like "ooh what does it do?" and "what can I learn from it?"
- josteink 14y agoSure. It's a hack. I get it. Hacks are cool. But this is a hack which has been posted a million times over and over the last few months. At some point the novelty wears off and IMO this one is way past due. Apart from that, I was asking if there was anything else I was missing. From the responses I got, it seems the answer is "no".
