COLUMBUS, Ohio — Christmas is barely behind us, and already there’s a lot of hype about the latest high-tech stuff. The gadget world is abuzz about what new product Apple might release this month. Some are saying it will be called the iSlate, a tablet computer (whatever that is). To this, I say ho-hum. So To Speak’s sources, all of whom asked to remain fictitious, provided information on Apple devices far more interesting than a tablet computer. Here are a few products just over the horizon:
iHop
What it is: a pancake with 1 gigabyte of memory.
Why you should want it: Experts are calling it the first in a line of edible electronics. As you consume the product, information is stored in your body, eliminating the need for hardware.
Drawbacks: Syrup tends to slow down the processor. It could inspire imitators — BlackBerry is already said to be developing a blackberry.
iShadow
What it is: makeup with light-emitting diodes.
Why you should want it: Instead of buying eye shadow in different shades, the user can change the color by pressing a button on a remote control. The product is also capable of displaying provocative eyelid messages, such as “wink, wink,” or “call me.”
“I call it wishful blinking,” said one industry source. “It could be huge in a few years.”

You are so funny! That tongue-in-cheek stuff could make your face freeze in that position, you know.
I wish I could take the credit, but it's from the site I cited.
Now I see. But you have the imagination...you COULD have done that!
Why, thank you! That's the kindest thing I've heard in quite some time....at least, from someone I'm not related to (g).
