MMM... the sensationalism of those head lines. I must say they really aren't anything like the ones in Minority report which didn't change content to suit the user, they gave each person and idividualized sales pitch. Please dont mod me down, thats just an observation.
Second... can one really determine from someones listening habits what they are into shopping for. I listen to NPR and punk rock... I have trouble stereotyping both of those to a similiar set of products. I mean really, someones internet usage shows what they are interested in, their radio only know their music preference.
Third, the distraction factor is mentioned in the article but I don't think enought weight is geven to it. In Atlanta, where I am from we had one of those electronic billboards that got a court order to only have slowly changing adverts because it was to distractung. If one of these got that sort of court order it would turn into a cool radio scanning static billboard that hemmoraged money.
I was a little confused by their "heat tube".. It didn't look very well designed. Is their anyway to mod the cooling on these guys for better performance? Has anyone benchmarked how they performed when refegirated? We ceartainly firdge most of the comuters at our lan parties....

As I type this I sit in my universities netcafe eating my pizza and reading slashdot.. on a windows box. Now back in my room I've got a debian laptop and a mac os X desktop... but I almost never surf to slashdot from them. What about all the people like me who read slashdot on public computers, or from windows mandated work places... I bet the actual % of slashdotters that don't own windows is much lower than the statistics suggest.
