Wait, here's a better caption: "Virus Alert: Version 2 of the SockMonkey.exe virus is on the rampage. DO NOT DOWNLOAD, EVEN IF YOUR HANDS ARE COLD AND YOU ARE PARANOID!" L. Ime:

I'd only wear something like this inside and it would have to be practically free for me to purchase it. Ugly!

Can't you see someone sitting on a park bench with this thing on their head when someone comes up, ties the laptop sock in a knot around the user's head, steals the laptop and runs away!!! Imagine how violated you would feel standing alone, your laptop stolen, and a giant, deformed sweater tied around your melon!

I mean it's just a sweater. This has all got to be a joke - I'm referring to the laptop sock, the story and the b at this point. This is a joke, right? I mean it’s just a sweater.

Sure, some design (perhaps color changes) would be necessary but it certainly wouldn't draw attention to some computing users out there.

If you are that concerned about privacy while computing, why would you wear something that calls attention to the fact that you are trying to hide something? Also, if you were wearing this on a bus or in an airport, it would be pretty easy for someone to rip off the stuff like purses, backpacks, or thsoe cool sunglasses you took off so you could put a sock on your head.

They keep your screen private, and don't make you look like a 'tard. That’s why god invented privacy filters, available from 3M for less than 40 dollars.
