Tell Us What You'd Shoot Using a Camera With 158 Lenses [Camera]


The Guinness World Records doesn't just award insanely tall men and disgusting long fingernails, you know. Sometimes they happen over to our side of the crazy pool, to give recognition to things like the camera with the most lenses ever.
Created at the Nagoya Institute of Technology of Japan (it had to be Japan), the camera you can see above was constructed using 158 lenses, which were attached in four rows, spanning 47cm in diameter. As each lens only cost $2.10 it's entirely realistic to try and top their record for next year's Guinness book, but bear in mind it took the team of students six months to build. Better organize some cheap labor.

Solar Bluetooth Headset Can Standby Forever [Bluetooth]

The tiny solar panel on this Bluetooth headset won't recharge the device as quickly as USB power, but the sun's rays can keep the headset waiting for your next call indefinitely.
While solar can't tackle most realtime energy demands, it's plenty to handle a Bluetooth headset in standby—which we must say, seems like a decent use for the tech. You'll never have to worry "is this thing that makes me look like a douchebag even working???" again.
Additionally, should you choose to purchase two headsets and actually wear them at the same time, you'll be able to appreciate A2DP (stereo Bluetooth) through multiple pairing. You know our feelings on that maneuver, so to state them yet again would be unseemly.

This solar bluetooth headset can be yours for $67 from Brando. [Brando]
