"A wearable device mouse for men and an inserted device mouse for females, the control is done through the Fab chat room interface... so those in chat room can turn the other person on or make them cum remotely.

Too much power is now in the wrong hands. "Thanks for your input. I'm often a reader of your posts and or comment on posts, as always seem quite interesting, engaging subject matters and given some of the things you've spoken about. One can only guess at what you do, but would imagine it to be something interesting
Yes, the old letter of confidentiality ha that's a joke that. Here sign this and I tell you my idea... oh but don't copy me please haha as well I don't have the money to take your multinational corp to court anyway. Well not when a lawyer says advance me £100k and we will take legal action. Right then. And patents. Unless your loaded or have financial back up its a fucking joke. Let's just say you have patents even world wide coverage, and someone produces your product say in china...so you contact a patent attorney because you got world wide patent.... they say its a global company that's stollen it...advance us 200k and we will start legal action. Oh yeah, ok then just go a head its only 200k.
As someone else has stated about patents expiring etc. Its very hard to know you've invented a product, it works, is a market and yet can't find an investor or not in a good position to cover all bases with patent, simply because well its a costly thing all way thorough and even when get that paper, you got to have money to take further if someone copies you anyway.
I've a couple of inventor friends I met on the finals young entrepreneur of the year comp many years ago. Both of them like myself have had products stollen, even with so called patent protection.
Its sad I've met some brilliant minds at inventors seminars in UK, yet all seem to be in the bedroom or garden shed workers than working for big business. I've met hundreds of designers and inventors over the last 20 years. Its sad the amount of products I've heard discussed by individuals and yet although I've thought... that's a brilliant idea...are any of them on the market...the answer is no. Well like myself....apart from the ones stollen from you.
The sad thing is like have covered...even if can prove its all your design etc in court with mass evidence,patent... most of us just don't have that kinda money to progress.
Britain in full of great inventors but the government should do more to help as they do elsewhere in world.
Yes is nesta and DTI but sources of funding always so limited.
Ha having an inventors rant
Anything I missed haha | |||
"Must be plenty of things that technology could be twisted to do, to satisfy your needs? Make my brain relax?" You can get apps for that, but better still learn meditation and leave the technology out of it. | |||

"It's always been the same, the inventor of the computer mouse received nothing, the patent expired through lack of interest before it got used. Same happened to the inventor of the valve that allows sauce bottles to stand on their lids. No interest until the patent expired, unless you have the funds to hold onto ideas the big companies will just wait." I've heard a few things about computer parts invented by a little man but stollen in end. That's another example I wasn't aware of. Funny you should talk about the sauce bottle. I've a product some 17 year old ha won't ever come out as its a controlled market from one player in food industry. Yet everyone I tell, says that's brilliant.. why it not out. I myself have a tool used in pneumatics industry, robotics and plumbing, stollen from me in 80s, company has made billions world wide.I almost won a design award for it but was beaten by what used to be on the side of batteries, when you put fingers between two points and shows the power
Although I got some development funding, not long after was stollen from me and went into production in states. I learned from an early age you can't just invent something new and ever hope you might actually profit from it. I guess in truth it depends upon your intended market.
Like lots are controlled by big players.

"All potentially dangerous but good applications, some of which is being used by governments. But you missed one concept that is still missing... the battery. Until you can power the device totally connected for 10 hours without a recharge or a backpack full of batteries it won't work. "I would love to talk about batteries haha with you but given I'm working on a battery concept...perhaps I shouldn't. What I find strange is. There is an old guy who stuck out some patents back last year to do with batteries, when I looked little deeper into his ideas it reminded me of earth batteries..and then a lot of the works by bedini, which I guess in turn are just the old patents of Tesla who got them from haha we in the realms of free energy which is why we don't have it. The battery makes me laugh a little as having messed about with few systems in past. I see why it all has to be staggered... why you can't just go produce the best and free energy. It has to be released slowly...is to many against. Are actually some brilliant minds in batteries in UK. I know I've met one, but like all these things. He ain't seen shit in profits, paid crap money for the big player to make the dollars. Big up to any little man inventors out here | |||

"Can I have a device that would create me the perfect man please??? " If you could deal with a computer as the brain maybe one day will just pick the skin, looks, build etc and a 3d printer will use live stem cells and print you the shell. What would your requirements be
And as far as your mans brain...well you could have mood pre set of special commands for actions.
Lover man.
Fuck all night.
Naked chef and so on.
Guess one could select size and girth of man. I guess its already possible to print organs using 3d printers, printing stem cells, but can't see it being acceptable to breath energy or life into it ha the new heart, the new liver cloned. Yes I'm sure your perfect man is just round the corner by the tech that's being played with by people with more money than sence.
Personally tech needs suppressed to a certain extent with all sorts of stuff. I see that for the good of the planet for one thing, but sadly no one cares and just taking few things to far | |||

A bit slow in my response, as busy leaving the country for a couple of months tomorrow.
I fully agree op - everyday people are screwed, whatever is signed and pledged from them. It's tragic and stunts our peoples' realisation of potential.  | |||

To find far to many military patents. to also be left in a position where by one was forced to approach a company and yet in turn all that company does is steal the idea...yet not release..well concept partly. It would have amazing uses for all sorts of identifiers like looking at a plant and it pulls up all about that plant and uses etc, or look at the sky and it tells you current weather and predicted patterns, things would be voice controlled also. allowing one to go deeper into the information. You could be looking at a woman or man and it pulls up who they are, then search database, pulls up address, phone etc. while this sort of tech has great advantages to genuine people or a guy who sees a woman say and just wants her number. I see a degree of dangers here. someone looks at someone it tells them who they are etc, where live, stalkers heaven and open to major abuse, however obviously these things could be overcome with good registration on data base, but like everthing it could be hacked. see if you had this device and traveled world you could talk every tongue, know what everything is, find what you need to know, just all sorts. I looked into using this tech as far as camera systems linked to scanners and other equipment, some medical equipment so ambulance staff, remote link to hospital. the list of applications is endless.
To be honest here Ive been into concepts of products long time. Ive still letters from richard branson back in 1995 and his senior trains designer, few letters from him, see I had an idea for some tech on the train...we hold you on file for future use...his words...roll on many years later...did they get in touch haha makes me laugh so it does
I've only just realized who you are, after interacting on a few recent threads.
The secrecy contracts that we sign with such people, when we discuss our ideas, don't really protect us enough imo. And these people and corporations likely could not value our brilliance enough, happy to trash and dispose of a concept at any moment of their choice.
Too much power is now in the wrong hands.
Thanks for your input. I'm often a reader of your posts and or comment on posts, as always seem quite interesting, engaging subject matters and given some of the things you've spoken about. One can only guess at what you do, but would imagine it to be something interesting
Yes, the old letter of confidentiality ha that's a joke that. Here sign this and I tell you my idea... oh but don't copy me please haha as well I don't have the money to take your multinational corp to court anyway. Well not when a lawyer says advance me £100k and we will take legal action. Right then. And patents. Unless your loaded or have financial back up its a fucking joke. Let's just say you have patents even world wide coverage, and someone produces your product say in china...so you contact a patent attorney because you got world wide patent.... they say its a global company that's stollen it...advance us 200k and we will start legal action. Oh yeah, ok then just go a head its only 200k.
As someone else has stated about patents expiring etc. Its very hard to know you've invented a product, it works, is a market and yet can't find an investor or not in a good position to cover all bases with patent, simply because well its a costly thing all way thorough and even when get that paper, you got to have money to take further if someone copies you anyway.
I've a couple of inventor friends I met on the finals young entrepreneur of the year comp many years ago. Both of them like myself have had products stollen, even with so called patent protection.
Its sad I've met some brilliant minds at inventors seminars in UK, yet all seem to be in the bedroom or garden shed workers than working for big business. I've met hundreds of designers and inventors over the last 20 years. Its sad the amount of products I've heard discussed by individuals and yet although I've thought... that's a brilliant idea...are any of them on the market...the answer is no. Well like myself....apart from the ones stollen from you.
The sad thing is like have covered...even if can prove its all your design etc in court with mass evidence,patent... most of us just don't have that kinda money to progress.
Britain in full of great inventors but the government should do more to help as they do elsewhere in world.
Yes is nesta and DTI but sources of funding always so limited.
Ha having an inventors rant
Anything I missed haha
A bit slow in my response, as busy leaving the country for a couple of months tomorrow.
I fully agree op - everyday people are screwed, whatever is signed and pledged from them. It's tragic and stunts our peoples' realisation of potential. "Very nice. Work or pleasure...or bit of both. Have fun and safe journey. Yeah one has to question sometimes the point in it all. Seems when someone comes up with something to help the planet or people its suppressed on all levels for the flavour of money. | |||
"No imaginative - possibly Percy - ideas on how we could adapt some tech products and get them to deliver more?" Oh loads of tech product hacks but unfortunately one is in breach of ™ or © if one takes a product and uses it for something else.
I've a list of devices and tech can easy change to make something actually more useful but no ones interested, certainly not big boys.
Here is a very simple hack for a device boots chemists sell at think its 3.99 or more, anyway its a not really technology per say, but that's how boots used to market it.
Ha its called a zapper or something like that. If you get bitten by midge or mosie you use this hand zapper to spark the end of bite, the spark stops it itching for some reason.. it does work..anyway all boots have done is stick the sparker from a disposable lighter into a plastic case with a handle u press. And slapped a price on it.
If u break open a quartz sparker from a lighter...amd hold in forefinger and thumb, press down so it sparks, if you put the spark at point of bite it works same as the boots item.
Yes that isn't tech, well not to point of question here, but its still taking one product and making if for something else.
As far as tech goes that you might know. All the ps's or xboxes can all be flashed with something better but then your not allowed.
Its like taking a phone and flashing it with a different system, sadly these things are not allowed | |||
"As technology advances rapidly, is it keeping up to date with your needs? What features should developers be engineering for you? Perhaps somewhat perverted pleasures coming from otherwise innocuous products designed for the mundane chores of life? " As a sat getting some early morning sun. I had a thought. I guess all the tech for this is here. It just needs some glue and sticky tape ha ok all stuck together as a fully functioning tech house. Who's the time for mundane tasks of life. Surely tech should be used to our advantage. A tech home. The front entrance it accessed though finger print and voice rec. In the home is a heat, air and dust control system, which runs from a central computer, that also controls lighting, heating,warm air converters, mass air movement, filtration.. clean air, a very many useful features to this house as such. All voice activated. A video projector and sound system, projects against a wall area. Several portable devises available in various formats. So one can setup preset cleaning and air change or mass air change for household or heating. Lighting. Mood lighting all from voice commands or touch input. So what you have is floor ducting installed all round rooms, these connecting to filters and also connected to air filtration natural filtered air in coming or flow control zones within home. By the nature of the home it could clean its self, leaving you option of getting on with your life. The brain or mother as we will call her, can control the whole house. She has backup small robots that are on set patterns for aditional hoovering and floor Cleaning ( you get robot mowers. Bit like these but insie, hoovering or polishing)
Mother haha controls these also.
If some presses the door bell the projection is replaced by the door view. One way. One would only say "mother search visitor"
Mother would then use facial rec to search databases for likeness, finding person, bringing up instant info contact details, could be various levels of data available for your level of say requested security. Obviously in a building like this it would be possible to have doors,controled electronic locks and say front door dead bolted at voice command. Mother could be instructed to open front door and a robot bring the individual in and lead them to a ground floor location.
Mother could at same time be instructed to issue distress call in the event of it actually being an intruder on premises.
I guess given this is a smart home and one would use tech to advantage. The property would have ultrasonic emitters installed around outside of property door. Panels of lights at either side of door way.
On mothers command the intruder at door would be fored to ground by use of lights in a pattern and ultrasonics. The individuals in house not effected through shielding.
Mother can obviously call police etc. Forwarding email to law on the intruders details. Obviously this system only would be actionable by 'mother' if a threat level has one been detected and also the individual in home has activated distress mode.
I guess much automation could be built into home. Calls in and out handled by mother, she the brain of house, monitos home for your health as much safety.
Could be solar / wind/ earth batteries/ tech to get over much bigger power consumption of smart home.
The bathroom would have two shoots built in through wall. Into tub type machines. Throw in colours, "mother stick wash on,set 40° mother"
"No mother delete. Stick my sports wash on" ( could have preset washes, pending what you do, work clothes wash?)
So far if you still with me? Ha
We got a house that welcomes guests or deals with threats, it controls heating, lighting,cleaning, washing and drying of clothes etc.
Its fully automated. Like if you wanted a bath. "Mother run me a bath. Mood lighting. Play chill out in bath."
(Mother runs bath to preset depth and temp, the bath has heater elements built in to control bath temp through thermostat. Sets lighting..music playing...the water from tap is lit with LEDs as is bath. A screen opposite bath. Voice activated contact with mother. Call coming in alert. ,"answer phone computer"
The fridge could easy be automatic and so could many other kitchen items. Like coffee machine. It would be possible for robot delivery of say things like coffee to lounge by robot controlled on pre set prog or maybe just type u want etc.
Haha anyway just a tech rant of idea's. All actually totally possible in this day.
I find it would be very easy to perhaps incorporate plessures for the individual by mother, she can control,lights, mood, music, setting along with...I guess given the nature of available existing sex toys it would be possible through use of say pneumatics or vibration systems and visual porno projections for the house to stimulate and full fill personal desires.
What about a bed that can be controlled by the computer, like has motors and chain driven systems,so could say bind ones own hands and stretch arms apart or robot stretch bar haha in this future house... could be pleasure bots. As a couple compared to a single much fun could be spent with eachother rather than household tasks. The toilet could clean itself, bath also.
Ha half an hour killed on an automated house for your health and well being.
"Computer defrost peas"
(Pees drop from automated freezer into defrosting tray)
Any thoughts from across the pond op?
