deols: Is it disposable or one to wash and rewear?

any fear of electrocution?

Carbohydrates are good for relieving stress.Hence the chocolate mantra. I wonder why microsoft wants to deny us that. Not everyone wants to be skinny.
are u fat or skinny?

Hmmm.... so the bra will alert me that I'm stressed and I shouldn't be eating? Guess what, I already know that I'm stressed and I shouldn't be eating.....most of the time, I shouldn't be eating! If all the bra does is alert me with with the hope that I would think twice about opening the fridge, then it's not as smart as I would like. Microsoft should do a bra that reduces stress levels, kills hunger pangs, reduces calories in foods and maybe makes the fridge invisible.............that would be a product I would be interested in.

cheesy cheesy cheesy

God is brilliant, walahi! kiss kiss kiss

Thank "God" he placed my balls way-way down there! undecided shocked

Lastpage!

BTW: What is all these beef by women, concerning the smart Bra sef?
First, it alerts them when they are stressed. (l hope they develop something that tells me when my "balls" are stressed! grin grin Okay, truthfully, its always stressed by "Mummy" Lastpage! )
Second, it prevents them from using food as a diagnosis for stress (which leads to overweight, which is what women hate most!)

Maybe it's just the "feminazi-stuff", afterall it was developed by "men"! tongue tongue

While Google, Samsung, and Apple are busy with smartphones, smartwatches, and smartglasses, Microsoft has been working on bringing artificial intelligence to a wearable device that's a little bit more intimate - a new 'smart' bra for women!

The giant tech company has developed a smart-bra that its researchers say is used to help prevent women from over-eating when stressed.

The hi-tech bra measures the wearer’s heart rate and breathing and alerts them when their stress levels are rising by sending a Bluetooth alert to their smartphone.

Senior Microsoft researcher Mary Czerwinski hopes the bra will make women think twice before opening the fridge.

‘It’s mostly women who are emotional over-eaters and it turns out a bra is perfect for measuring the heart,’ she told Discovery News.

‘We tried to do the same thing for men’s underwear but it was too far away.’

Reaction to the bra on Twitter ranged from amusement to annoyance.Microsoft develops ‘smart’ bra

"Anyone else offended that Microsoft is devoting its tech research to a bra designed to prevent women from overeating?" tweeted a Seattle woman whose Twitter handle is @cunningminx.

Added Rachel Happe of Boston, "If nothing else convinces you we need more women in tech, this should. No, I don't want someone hacking my bra..."

Is technology taking things a bit too far or is this a welcomed development? Have your say!

In 50 years time, people will die more from radiation induced cancer than HIV-AIDS + other diseases summed.

This is taking technology too far.
