LCD Screen With Embedded Optical Sensors
dk3nn3dy writes "Sharp has developed a LCD display with optical sensors built into the displays pixels, without requiring a touch-sensitive film to be bonded on top of the regular screen. The optical sensor is similar to that used in scanners, allowing for notes or business cards to be scanned by the screen itself. As the optical recognition technology is built into the pixels it also simplifies tactile recognition based on simultaneously touching multiple points. Future uses include fingerprint authentication on the screen of your mobile phone or PDA, or iPhone style touch recognition. Volume production will start next spring."

Resolved: Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken, and buying a shiny new Mac does not make you a Mac user. Hear that, you filthy fucking switcheurs? You are NOT Mac users.
Real Mac users don't use Macs for the image. Real Mac users didn't just buy their Macs last week at Hot Topic. We've been here on the Mac platform since 1984* and believe me, we resent the recent influx of switcheurs almost as much as we don't give a damn about PC users.
(* Those who understand the Mac aesthetic are grandfathered in as latent Mac users, of course, regardless of the first time they used a Mac. But if you're still trying desperately to maximize your windows, if you enter instead of return, backspace instead of delete, or if you've ever called the Command key "open Apple"—you most definitely don't belong in this category.)
