Touch clean glass
A company called Data Vision has developed a through-glass touchscreen panel, so businesses can provide an interactive multimedia experience right on the street, without fear of those pesky vandals scratching in "P+J 4ever!!!" with their keys. Whereas it sounds like it's a little too good to be true, apparently the things been in heavy use in England. Who knew? Apparently the thing's also got a 1700cd/cm²
brightness rating, which means it will stand up to those two or three hours sunshine England gets a year. (Also note the McInternet plug on the manufacturer's site. So that's what they mean by having a fat pipe.)
