Check this out: Dead Link Removed Very kewl. Though I think with all the anti-photography stuff going on in the world, carrying and shooting with this thing will not help matters!

Maybe not, but I like it!

I think the ultimate application for this is actually advertising - eg, companies stick one of these permanently with a logo or something near a tourist trap, it detects when a flash goes off and basically imprints the logo into the original picture taker's photo.

There was an article on this yesterday on slashdot.org, basically the flash-detect logic is his own (so that it doesn't prematurely fire with red-eye-reduction pre-flash, for instance), but the basic concept is flashing a pre-developped slide backward through the camera onto whatever surface you want. Pretty slick invention, actually, but it's going to be annoying as all get out in real life.

Only if you use flash.

What are people doing using a flash outside anyways?

This technology, while it seems really cool in the abstract, has produced something that I think will prove to be really irritating, just like the rash of kids with laser pointers a few years back.

mabman....don't give them any ideas...it's only a matter of time before a rep for coca-cola reads this thread and patents it.

There are good ideas and not-so-good ideas. This might fall into both categories.
