Digital Clock as Thin as Paper

Elitist_Phoenix writes "Citizen Watch has created a clock that is Paper thin! This unique design is enabled by E Ink Imaging Film. In addition to the fact that no backlighting is required, the display also has an inherently stable memory effect which requires no power to maintain an image - both of which drastically increase the battery life. The result is 1/100 the power consumption of traditional display options. Citizen Watch Co. and T.I.C.-Citizen Co. have not yet announced a launch date for this product, but it is expected to be commercialized in Japan in 2005."

Slashdot has created a Slashvertisement whose cover story is Paper thin! This unique design is enabled by lagging ad revenues. In addition to the fact that Alexa ranking has plummeted, the editors also have an inherently short memory effect which require no effort to maintain duplicate story postings - both of which drastically reduce time spent editing. The result is 1/100th the meaningful content of traditional tech news sites. CmdrTaco and Zonk have not yet announced a launch date for this product, but it is expected to be out of beta "real soon now".
