Membrane That Turns Any Surface Into a Touchscreen

alx5000 writes "Engadget has a story about Displax Interactive Systems, a Portuguese company that has created a new polymer film that, when stuck onto a surface, converts it into a multitouch touchscreen with up to 16 contact points. The article states that 'if all goes well, the first Displax-enabled wares will start shipping this July.'"

Oh no I lost a toe due to frostbite last time I went hiking. 16 point touch gives all those other people an unfair advantage. Where is my lawyer and my human rights organization representative when I need them?

But they proved Cypress Hill right

Fat boy on a diet, don't try it
I'll jack yo' ass like a looter in a riot

Leavin' yo' face in the grass

I got ta get my props
Cops, come and try to snatch my crops

These pigs wanna blow my house down
Head underground, to the next town
They get mad when they come to raid my pad
And I'm out in the nine-deuce Cad

Yes, I'm the pirate, pilot of this ship
If I get with the ultraviolet dream
Hide from the red light beam
Now do you believe in the unseen?
Look, but don't make you eyes strain
A nigga like me is goin' insane

The great zeal with which many Atheists practice their believes (or lack thereof), I think capitalizing it is often appropriate.
