- eulerphi 13y agoCare to explain your pedantry? Especially is connoting a favored preference, whereas even is denoting an absolute preference.
- michaelmior 13y agoI don't believe this is pedantry. It appears to be a joke since the replacement changes the meaning of the sentence, implying that being electrocuted is a more preferable reason for someone to touch your ear than sending a message.

- jloughry 13y agoThis is actually an old idea, perhaps a hundred years old. It was patented in 1972 (3,647,970 Flanagan) and called the "neurophone", but I recall an article about something like it from the 1920s.

- willyt 13y agoI noticed that my MacBook does this as well. If I touch the case then touch my ear while it's charging I hear a buzzing sound and feel my fingers tingling where they touch the laptop. I always wondered how the buzzing was transmitted.
- vxNsr 13y agoThe video seems to be a completely different and much cooler thing that messages by poking. It would be pretty cool if they'd license the tech to cellphone OEMs so touchscreens would be easier to use.
