It's come to our attention that the media's favourite cybernetically-enhanced human - Kev "Captain Cyborg" Warwick of Reading Uni - earlier this week demonstrated an echolocation hat for blind people on the Beeb's The One Show.

Yup, that's one of our old vulture logo baseball caps, and no mistake. Suffice it to say, we're not going to take this provocation lying down, and are as we speak preparing an apparel-based counterstrike. Watch this space. ®
