Re: Ever want to hear music like Dread?
A quote from the article:
With your jawbone playing antenna and your head the receiver set, your newly enhanced teeth could allow you to hear the alarm clock without waking your partner, tune into your favorite music and even receive stock market information while you're out playing golf

Re: Ever want to hear music like Dread?
Whoa. Craziness. Sounds a bit bizarre...
"The vibrations are on a molecular level, so the user only experiences pure sound streaming into their consciousness"
*raises eyebrows*
"We realize that having unwanted sound information arriving directly into the user's brain would resemble technological schizophrenia, therefore maximum control is essential."
*raises eyebrows higher*
I'd love to have an internal soundtrack, though, that would be super-cool. Especially if you could turn it up without making a movement somehow, to drown out other people when they start actually trying to talk to you or something... ;-)

Yeah, I don't reccommend volunteering to be one of the first test subjects, but it should be a neat little device once the bugs are worked out

Schools would have to have compulsory tooth-checks to make sure students are listening in class!

Re: Ever want to hear music like Dread?
How do you change frequency? I would get bored with the same station all the time.

Re: Ever want to hear music like Dread?
hmmmm. i think the CONCEPT is a good one, but most likely it will go through drastic revision before it becomes available on a wide scale. I see the entire thing being ruined by advertisers already though, subliminal messages to buy McDonalds and shop Wal-Mart spring into mind immediately;) however if it was solely user based input that you were able to play, THAT would be worthwhile!

Re: Ever want to hear music like Dread?
I've read about that. Never considered it has something to do with Dread till it was mentioned here. *chortle*
I'd seriously want one of those. Only to listen to Apollo 440 without /any/ sound interferance, though. *oggle* So they'd have to make it so you can have a CD player standing at home and the CD information is satellite transferred to that musical chip (or something); because radio stations... well, blah. ;D

No doubt a new form of data storage will be invented so that your favourite album fits onto something 2 mm wide, that fits into the 'tooth'.

Re: Ever want to hear music like Dread?
By being selective, both with time and station, I can often find something worth listening to. Admittedly, at about 6 pm music radio trails off into a morass of pop.
