I have a multi purpose clock / thermometer / kitchen stopwatch from Ikea and it displays different function when you put it into one of 4 positions. The switching is implemented by a simple cheap plastic housing with 8 contact and metal plated little plastic ball. A fancier of such switch model is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_switch . I can imagine use of the actual mercury could nowadays be considered environmentally ... aehm ... questionable. |
Most cameras do this also. I do think there should be a way to shut it off and this suggestion is not new although it is new to this thread.
