I'm sure they are working on something for this, but most LCDs do not primarily work by reflection, they work by filtering out the parts of white light that you don't want in the image. So, how do you backlight cloth? or a little rollup screen?
Has anyone has seen the iPaq without the backlight on (which is by far the best non-backlit LCD I've seen)? It is still unusable in non-office lighting conditions. And that is a best case scenario.
People here have been saying that arnold is obviously too old to play a robot that doesn't age. May he will be playing the human being on which Skynet based the looks of the original terminator. Perhaps there's an interesting reason why that form was chosen.
Am I the only one who thinks that there is a serious problem with the researchers getting a patent on this after being funded by NASA and the Georgia Insitute of Technology? If public money funds innovation, that innovation should be made public domain. Even if the details aren't made public domain, I shouldn't be prohibited from making and selling similar devices if I can build them.

Regarding your .sig, I thought I was the only one who that occurred to about Kenny Roger's lyrics.

Plus they didn't get the arm of the terminator that was torn off by those big gears. Some valuable technology even when mangled.
