New Blue LED Killer App ethanx11

False fingernails that glow when you
use your cellphone have been
developed in Japan. The optical
nails - called optils -are aimed at
teenagers who want to look cool while
phoning their friends, according to
The Nikkei Weekly. A red or blue LED
in the tip of the stick-on nail has a
short antenna hidden inside it. When
the cellphone is in use, the antenna's
electromagnetic field induces enough
current to light up the LED. The
manufacturer, Sunshine of Ube,
sells one optil and 11 standard
false nails for $31.

40 million First-World high school girls
X 25% proliferation
---------------

= 10 million LED 2-way fingernail classroom communicators.

AND leaves no paper-trail (printer optional)
