See-through laptop screen

Ever feel the laptop screen is a barrier? (Children, pets, colleagues, conference speakers.) Take a look at this:

It's in this set on Flickr. Here's a bigger set.

Shame they're all fakes. I want a real one.

it looks really cool but if you really want a see through laptop just cut out the screen of an old laptop...then it'll be see-through ;]

A variation on this is something I would really have appreciated while at the estate agents' offices this last week - a 2-way screen so I could see exactly what the agent is seeing instead of us both contorting ourselves to view a screen at roughly 90 degrees to each other.

It feels even more ridiculous when the agent has an LCD - at least with a CRT there was an obvious physical reason why we couldn't share a viiew in the way I've described.

Jon Fine is a figment of my imagination. Sorry.

(This is a reference to a comment on another blog post where I got Jon's surname wrong.)

I tried doing that yesterday and it's harder than it looks. I would devote my day to attempting it - but I can't do that now, as everyone knows where I work! Ah, the transparency backlash.

By the way - who is Jon Fine?

Get back to work.

(Actually I love the skeleton one)
