Plastic transistors... e-paper- future?

Like the song from Annie:

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow,

You're always a day away.

Jealousy? That CEO actually demonstrates one. And the factory is build. And note who the shareholders are, you know them. Now if you were commenting on my posting in ..satellite.europe, where I state that in a few years we will have e-paper in color that is video capable, and wallpaper our rooms with it, yes THEN that is in the future. The word is actually MAÑANA 'tomorrow', sometimes meaning 'not today'.

Any bears sighted yet?

Looking at the "before and after" pic,

if it can turn dumpy chicks into foxy ones, it will indeed be a roaring success.

Yea, sex sells. One application I see for e-paper is ATMs, I can never read these things here in bright sunlight. A reflective display is the greatest thing for outdoor use. No need for colour either in that application. And so it will make its entry into the cockpit too. Imagination.. you need... plenty of applications. No need to be cynical because you have not sighted any bears yet (other then the Dow).

Yep. With enough Vodka even a leftist might seem intelligent.

They certainly gave a promising-looking presentation to us back ten or fifteen years ago...

It gets dark here, too. Fairly often.

Our ATMs give us animated color ads as we wait for our cash. The banks are not going to give that up.

Beanie-mounted headlamps for pilots?

Well, e-paper has been hot for decades now. On paper.

the Dow).

We hope to be in our cabin by my birthday, late October. It has a big steel "bear box" for the trashcans; they tear wooden ones apart. They'll open up the sides of cars if they suspect something really good is inside.

Enough Vodka in you, or in the leftie?

Just asking...

Sure, and there are no lights around right? e-paper needs light from the front, if you can see the machine, then you can read the display. A bit clever construction will have a light shine on it to help. I had something like that designed long time ago.

So did do the ones here, but luckily my bank pretty much stopped the crap.

Holy shit, it is easier to front-light something like e-paper then get an equal back light for an LCD.

You can buy e-paper based e-book readers now, they are just smaller and heavier. Sony has one, I think Amazone too.

Ah, yes, a camera with motion detection while you are not there, might catch some :-) There are no bears here.... I'd bring a gun if I thought there were some.

??? bears? Yes, but newer methods have been invented since:

the Dow).

Take 'Always Wrong', and toss an open jar of honey on him, just before you lock him outside. Then wait for the bears to decide if it's worth the risk.

That's one of those _bilateral_ effects... I guess it works either way ;-)

Though I was thinking, "In me".

I watched (from a safe distance) a bear trash a station wagon and sit inside eating baby teething biscuits (Yellowstone).

then the Dow).

OK, toss him some teething biscuits, too. :)

Would a PIR and a klaxon deter them at all? >:->

Have Fun! Rich

With sufficient application of Vodka, a leftist weenie can be made to appear as obtuse as a neocon. ;-P

Cheers! Rich

today'.

This was in 1956. I didn't have a camera with me, I was at a lake fishing with my father when a woman and a kid bailed out of the station wagon, screaming. It's remarkable what a bear can do to a car :-(

By those same MIT-affiliated guys?
