In highschool somebody had taken the back off of their calculator (a cheap one, not scientific) and were able to see through the LCD, it was a pretty cool trick. I think what they are pushing here though is that it won't need a backlight, so you can watch two movies in the dark.

Even if it was in a theater, it has a range of 20ft with well tuned antennas. Which means you could sit in the middle row and the people towards the front and back would still be able to call.
What if someone was calling you to tell you of a death? Well your phone should be off anyways so this wouldn't change it.

Can't people just make battery packs for it? All you need is the proper voltage like it comes out of the Wii and the goofy connector. Then just wrap up the cord and ziptie it up. Insta-wireless and it's still Nintendo's design.

Cool find, I hate when songs are labelled incorrectly. amaroK (Linux only I think) can find album cover, which is handy, but doesn't do the other stuff.

"I wouldn't get on a plane with em, that's for tootin sure."
This the best joke I've heard all day! Thank you for this.

It's probably not that powerful, just enough to push some dust around. The little girl in the photo doesn't seem to be recoiling in pain.
