Patented?
[edit]As if it's patented. I mean, he didn't invent anything, he just thought of an obvious, however stupid, application of current technology. Avochelm 23:38, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Wasn't there a joke made in The Simpsons involving a tombstone with CadaverCam intalled?

[edit]This article reads like a poorly-written ad assembled by "Barrows," the "inventor" of a specific product. In my view, anyone can enhance a grave with video and audio in any number of ways. Shouldn't this article address that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Williamroy3 (talk • contribs) 23:46, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit]This is just a rip off of the Max Headroom episode "Deities". Which you can apparently watch online, legitimately: http://video.aol.com/video/tv-max-headroom-deities/1648821 71.87.55.197 16:47, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Vidstone
[edit]A Vidstone is doing this and is notable. Don't know if there is any relationship to Barrow or his patent. --Justallofthem (talk) 14:17, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Just some more sources on this but not able to find any patent by Vidstone or Sergio E. Aguirre so maybe Barrows does hold the patent. --Justallofthem (talk) 15:00, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
