Roundtuit

Gizmodo is reporting this product, which clearly makes “Ambilight for All” into a Been Done.

Did they get the idea here at Roundtuit? Guess we’ll never know!

Here’s another DIY version.

I was lucky enough to go through the recent liquid terrorist Heathrow Hell ! Not only was the total travel time increased from 8 to 16 hours, I had no precious laptop on board. I was forced to read the airline magazine, and watch Mission Impossible III, twice. The humanity!

And now there are banned laptops. Given the intrinsic power density of batteries (sure to only increase), I don’t really find this surprising.

I figure the next step will be stripping down and boarding in a white paper boiler suit. I don’t really mind.

But it does open the market up for a seatback PC, possibly with a USB port for a (FAA approved) personal computing configuration. Or perhaps we’ll all be using web apps, so all we’ll need is an airbourne internet connection.

Just an idea. It may be a been-done, but I’m not sure this patent ties up all the options. It seems to me all the real innovation is in the OS, office, and personalization.
