New Uses For LCD Technology
HaggiZ writes "A design student from the University of New South Wales has developed a postcard with a built-in camera and LCD display. As the article states, you simply snap the photos and send it to your loved ones and 'they tear open the perforations, fold out a little kick stand on the back and sit it on a bench top. Then it's as simple as pressing a button and it will go through a slide show of images.' I also found these credit cards with build in LCD displays. It sounds like the perfect solution for credit card fraud, with the card generating a One Time Password for each transaction."
So a stolen card will display a one-time password to the thief each time he uses it?
While we're on the topic of making up uses for LCD technology, I'd like to propose the LCD Restroom Stall. Finally, something to look at besides those inane scribblings on the wall.
Can I have some money now? Or how about some of what Zonk's smoking?

"Oh, everything's stolen nowadays. Why the fax machine is nothing but a waffle iron with a phone attached."
"Is this the bus to the Civic Center?"
Your kidding... Right?
By this logic there has never, ever, been anything new, ever.
I can see you in 1903:
"Calm down now Orville and Wilbur, that little flying machine is nothing new, it's just a bunch of parts that are commonplace. All you have done is combine them in one package."
Your right about one thing though...
"Anytime something new comes out, you can break it down into its base components and claim it's nothing new."
It's called the periodic table.
"Truth is much too complicated to allow anything but approximations"
I always thought it would be intresting to put a LCD touch panel in a urnal. Then you could put games on it that are controled with your urine.
First it was the future possibility of mythical bright green circles on cliff-sides from JATO-equiped flying green pigs, and now this. Today is a good day to myth!
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.
Postcard with builtin LCD and camera?
Imagine postcard with bultin modern CPU, 1GB memory, large hdd, fast video card, 21'' LCD display, dolby stereo sound and laser printer (to print more postcards).
Will it run Linux?
Oh, good. I was worried that I might have to go 30 seconds without being advertised to. Phew!

Sounds like something to aim for...
