Digiscents brings smell to your computer.

from the Stop-me-if-youve-smelled-this-one-before dept

Digiscents appears to be delivering on the long talked about smell-o-meter peripheral device. (you know... it uses the 4 basic smells... pizza, body odor, beef-jerkey, and blue-cheese to generate any other smell) They have a web site, and claim to be partering with Real Networks to distribute their software to millions of people. Too bad none of us have the device.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    input device guru asks....

    What about a *smelling* input device?!? Retinal scans are so passe and invasive. If dogs can tell us apart, why not computers? :) Add that to the high pitched soundwave security:
