MicroDot Squared: Tiny Audio Recorder

Like the gum-sized Micro-Camcorder I just linked before, this "MicroDot Squared" Audio Recorder is supremely overpriced. It's almost five-hundred bucks! (But what price to listen to endless hours of silence punctuated by occasional footsteps to provoke irrational but addictive jealousy?)

Besides its size, the MicroDot shares a feature set with most voice recorders: low power consumption; voice-activated recording; programmable recording timer. (Okay, the timer is pretty useful, I'll grant them.) Why they named it after a method of LSD distribution is a mystery. Maybe after too much acid the inventor decided his wife was banging the milk man, despite that she's lactose intolerant, they don't have a milkman, and he's not actually married.

Microdot is a format for storing large ammounts of text in a small area. It's what libraries use toarchive newspapers and such.

Libraries actually use microfilm (reel) or microfiche (sheets). Of course, not so much now thanks to computers, but not everything is digitized yet.
