Interesting new technologies - some useful, some fun - enjoy!

Transparent "Avatar style" laptop screens, iPhone helicopters with video and more... just make sure you wait the ad out and let it play...

What a terrible idea!

The boss won't need to sneek up on you to see what you are doing. He/She can watch from across the room. No thanks!

Imagine it built into the windscreen of your car......no more going to the drive in......

And the helicopter just looks useless.

Cheers Kev.

I think that you can only see it from the front Barry

Helicopter useless Kev? Looks like fun! Well... OK... otherwise not very useful - unless it was designed for covert operations of some kind....

Geoff is good. He was out on the field last Saturday evening, so I know he's still breathing... LOL!

Of course
I was only joking (Unless someone has actually released a see through lap top).

Personally I don't like anything on the desktop except the icons i use.

Well, you could bolt a bb gun to it and use it to take out street lights near your house. Or your neighbours yard light lol! No one will know it was you.
It would be like having your own personal brief case sized predator gunship.

The transparent Monitor idea is great. If they make them small enough you could run your favourite planetarium program and use the picture as a finder piggy backed on the scope
