Omega Prime writes: "The BBC has an article about the latest advances in E-Paper. That is, flexible display media that is both cheap and reuseable. The possibilities for this are endless, Can you say Holodeck wallpaper?" There's also an AP article. Do you ever get the feeling that electronic paper is going to be just around the corner for a long, long time?

    WTF is wrong with you people? Just because the car is Windowless doesn't make it any safer. Presumably you'd prefer Linux? Well not may people know how to use that - and I know that if I'm driving at 70mph I want to have support from a proper large company rather than the open source community.
    I mean come on, while it's fun for desktops, and even servers, when we're talking about people's safety, we need to know that there's a company who is culpable in case anything goes wrong, in order to guarantee they will thoroughly test the systems.

    I don't want to gamble with my family's life just because I dislike Microsoft.
