That is a life-changing hack right there! Reminds me of an old glitch I experienced in the early Nokias that allowed the receiver of a call to listen-in on the line before answering.
A strange coincidence that I was actually just reading about the CMOS sensor in the camera yesterday. You can see yourself the quality of the sensor here:
I would also like to point out that one of the greatest parts of the Sonic games IMO was the ability to enable the in-game debug mode, allowing edits to the level with various sprites. A definite source of childhood curiosity with gaming/code/design.
I look forward to the day we can track larger populations of this this data in real time. I say this because yesterday me and a good friend got back from a long road trip and one of the more interesting ideas I thought we discussed was the notion of an ever-increasing level of synchronicity between each of our creative/entertainment brainwaves, whether that increase in overlap could be mathematically predictable, and finally whether a gigantic clap of overlapping unified consciousness could be considered a type of singularity. We also joked about which of our favorite youtube videos could do it.
