"Things have recovered"? Let me guess, you're looking at the official "unemployment" figures, which actually measure how many people have recently lost their jobs, not how many aren't working... not to mention people who can't find enough work, or work that pays fairly.

Apparently there is, they made that Facebook movie too. Could be the beginning of a new genre. Or maybe a continuation of an old genre but with tech-oriented characters... I don't watch many movies so I have few points of reference.
These movies are really just one manifestation of the general public all having iPhones and Facebook accounts now.

The idea is great. Currently someone has to go to a clinic, have a test administered, then wait a couple of weeks for the results. With this condom, you can get an early indication of... issues. For me, if it changed color, that would be a good indication that I will never have unprotected sex with this person and would know to disconsider them as a long-term partner.

Really, your post gives the impression that you don't know much about how sexual relations work. Using a condom with someone who potentially has an STD does not "defeat the purpose", it is the purpose. It allows you to have sex with someone whose infection status you're unsure of, without getting the infection. If you know someone is clean, you don't need to be dealing with condoms in the first place.

I won't pretend to be some kind of playboy, but it should be apparent that most relationships start out more like 1-night-stands than arranged marriages. There's usually not a formal interview process including STD test before the first sexual encounter. Hell, there's barely time to even get a condom on. This product would be a godsend for slowing the proliferation of STDs. Regardless of your strategy for obtaining sex, that's going to benefit you.

Your post... has a Facebook icon next to it.
I knew Slashdot was going in a different direction, but... Facebook? The alt-text says "From Facebook". I'm not even completely sure what that means, but I don't want anything "from Facebook" in here. I hope you know your post has fucked up my world. I'm going to have a hard time sleeping now. Bro... your post has a Facebook icon on it! However you managed to get that to appear, don't do it ever again! And tell all your friends not to. Together, we can make Slashdot sane again...
