Psyleron Robot!

Psyleron, well-know purveyors to the gullible of devices that purport to be influenced by peoples' minds such as the REG-1 random event generator and the Mind Lamp, are adding the Psyleron Robot to their family of randomly-controlled gadgets:

Other exciting new products are the REG-K keychain REG and the Alerter:

http://www.psyleron.com/regk.aspx

http://www.psyleron.com/alerter.aspx

The estimated availability date for all three products is 01/01/2011!!!!

One of the sillier claims for the REG-K is that it can be used for quantum cryptography. I'd have thought that a random number generator that could be influenced by someone wouldn't be much use for that sort of application.

If the result is influenced, by definition it is no longer random ...

Psyleron, and the PEAR people before them, appear to have conveniently omitted to mention that.
