Apparently, our feelings about creepy eyeball gadgets aren't shared by the mass consumer market. Not only did the "EyeClops Bionic Eye" succeed despite our considerable misgivings, but the magnifying device has come back for another round--bigger and badder than ever.

The wireless "EyeClops BioniCam" from Jakks Pacific has doubled the top magnification to 400x and has its own built-in color LCD instead of requiring a computer screen for viewing. It also comes with a USB flash drive presumably to record and transfer whatever images are projected on it, according to Dvice. All we can say is, heaven help us.
