The Promise Of Transparent Circuits
aaron huslage writes "Research into Transparent Circuits has apparently come a long way lately. 'In a development that could accelerate architectural deployment of see-through surfaces with embedded circuitry, researchers from the Tokyo Institute of Technology have greatly improved the processing speed of transparent semiconductors, according to a report in the Nov. 25 issue of the journal Nature.' Imagine that your house is your computer!" Or a truly active windshield display in the car.
"imagine that your house is your computer."

What changed under Obama? Nothing Good

Yes, now the whole neighborhood will know when I am looking at porn. This is a wonderful idea.
My other computer is a Jacquard loom.

Imagine the horror of dying in a head on collision because a sudden and aggressive Ford popup ad took control of your car stereo's volume control and made you flinch.

If you think
Well this could have some beneficial uses as well such as overlaying dots on where the white and yellow lines are in the road. Especially at night in the rain where the glare of the headlight tend to make the lines hard to see and when you get in a multi lane interchange this can get troublesome. Also if they could change color when you cross them so you know that you could be a bit off course (due to being tired or just been diving for to long) Or overlaying direction from a GPS so you can see where you really should turn. It would be like having an arrow pointing the way. But care should be taken on how much stuff in in front of your field of vision. TV shows, Or cutesy things will just be dangerous.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
The product is transparent. Maybe the article was FULL of pictures. How would you know?
Anyway, here's a pic for you:
And now one from the side:
Behold the riant ape! Beware, his crooked thumbs!
I'm sure this will do wonders for the already outrageous cost of windshield replacements.
And of course there will be the whole aftermarket of MOD'd windshields.
Invalid Checksum. Retrying.
The last thing I need is all my windows crashing.
Or a truly active windshield display in the car.
Now that could be a true "blue screen of death"!
