I was reading a message board thread this morning where the original poster was going through a hard time. Lots of the responses were "hugs," which I feel is a little sad and empty in this internet age. However, the folks at MIT (yes, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology came up with this gem), have invented a new coat that will give you a squeeze whenever someone on Facebook "likes" something you posted. It's a merging of the virtual world and reality.
No, it's not coming on the market any time soon, but you can read about this latest product here.

Here's the coat. Very puffy and impractical for summer, but perhaps good for those cold Bostonian autumns and winters!
Imagine if it "poked" you instead? That would be really annoying. Does Facebook still even have the "poke" option?
