On the creepier side of the wearable gadget spectrum, the Thanko Spy Button puts an actual video camera into the button of your shirt. The pinhole lens camera is hidden against your chest, shooting 640-by-480 pixel video or 1280-by-1024 pixel images through its button-like front. The Spy Button holds up to 4GB worth of data and comes with a wireless ring controller that lets you start and stop recording. It sells for about $70.

Just use it in the style of James Bond, not Peeping Tom, please.

    Don’t get too dependent. Most of this won’t work well at Rooster Rock park.

    Wow the USB shirt is ridiculous. $222?? I could make the same exact thing for $50 or less.

    Your link on the home page goes to the Radio Shack swhuld not change it’s name page.

    Not too bad for a tech site…..

    Wait, no, fail….

    But don’t mind the slide show at all…..

    @tron… but that’s one way to make money. every time you click next, the page loads anew and the website receives a new “impression” and the ads are delivered anew… etc.
    Usability is often not the main concern of website publishers, when they have to make a living off of their site ^_^

    Um….couldn’t they make it a little more fashionable? Great idea but really, I wouldn’t want to look like a fisherman all the time.
