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."

I CALL BS

I call BS. Most geeks wouldn't use alexa so it wouldn't likely rank very high. Personally I find it very sad that slashdot gets the traffic that it does on alexa. Must be a lot of slashdotters out there with this crap installed.

While the quality of slashdot is at best arguable, clearly they are still making money and going strong otherwise they still wouldn't be around.

Page ranking is a better indicator IMHO. Slashdot has a PR9 while Kuro5hin is PR7 IIRC.

Personally I found this interesting and can think of at least 1 million uses for a flexible lcd, grayscale or not. Clearly you are too simpleminded to think of how revolutionary such an invention can and probably will be.

This isn't a slashvertisment (though there likely have been a few, who the hell cares?) There isn't even a fucking working product yet. Get a fucking hold of yourself and take a break from slashdot and if you hate it that much, well then, don't come back and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Ye gods, am I feeding the troll?
