Vicious and Divine’s Laplace webcam had it all… 2 megapixel photo and 1.3 megapixel video resolution, an integrated flash so that it could handle innumerable lighting situations, a folding mechanism that particularly suited it to mounting on laptops or flat panel monitors, plus that compact and sleek design. It was the jet-set of webcams, some might say, but it seemed to lack something — some essential quality of life. Possibly a higher purpose? As it turns out, all it needed was to be absolutely, 100 percent covered — bedazzled, if you dare — in Swarovski crystals. The results are pretty… stunning. And not at all obscene. It comes in both black and clear crystal variations, and €49.99 (about $63) seems a small price to pay for something that’s going to make you the envy of all of your friends — but it seems to be available only in Europe. Your loss, rest-of-the-Earth!Update: According to a commenter, the actual price of this camera is €399, not €49.99. We missed that in our frenzied excitement.
