There are few things in the world more irritating to me than having a wayward strand of my wife's or daughter's hair end up on my face or clothing. The long strand inevitably sways back and forth brushing against my face or neck driving me crazy because I can't find the cause. I also find cut hair of the type that ends up on the floor at the hair cutting place gross too. I certainly wouldn't want to wear anything with a stranger's hair on it.

PSP-3000 Value Pack in new limited edition colors coming to Japan

The official press release on the display is one of the worst in recent memory and offers virtually no detail on the screen.
