The folks at MIT’s Media Lab have come up with a Lover’s Cup. It’s got lights in the rim that glow brighter as the rim of its companion are brought closer to your SO’s lips.

I’m not sure whether to be weirded out by this or what. Isn’t there such thing as too much information. Next they’ll have a wireless enabled toilet seat with a remote monitor so you can tell when your sweetie is… Well, you get the point.

The Social Event part at the end kills me. It’s as if they think people just stand around at parties with their noses to the wall avoiding all interaction.

Can’t these people spend their time developing something useful like a Newton MessagePad 5000 (Color, WiFi, Bluetooth, same form factor as the 2100, decent sync software for Linux, Mac, and Windows.)
