Pileus Umbrella: The Internet Umbrella

041108-unplggd02.jpgRainy days are departing (at least here in LA), but that doesn't diminish the wow factor of this tech-loaded umbrella that has a built in camera with wireless internet connection and a screen inside-underneath. Details and a video of the Pileus in action under the cut...

Im all for creativity but is it really nessessary ?? Shouldnt I be focused on getting out of the rain rather than watching the Simpsons under an umbrella in the rain! Outside! Standing!
Spare me the useless technology.
