This guy is actually a friend of my co-founder. Amazing story.

For general amusement, read through the comments on the Wired article. The guy is accused of lying because "a DSLR flash can't light a pitch black room" and "his iPhone battery couldn't last 65 hours".


This is just as much a story about what "man + computer" equals. THIS is what early computer pioneers dreamed a computer could be to people.


And look at that, he even had to courtesy to review the app in the app store after his ordeal.
