It's only a matter of time till they costs come down, in 5 odd years it will be a common sight (it will not be a household norm in our lifetimes). Just imagine the power bill. Maybe I was wrong: Samsung Transparent TV (www.youtube.com) and Transparent Laptop (www.youtube.com) The future is here!:D	Cato (6936)

My first question with the window would have been "can it be seen from the other side" but looking at the laptop one, I see it isnt, very very cool!	Iantech (16386)

That's pretty cool but don't buy a device with Cornings V2 if you want a stronger screen, the whole focus is on 20% stronger and therefore being able to be 20% thinner which means the glass wont actually be any stronger unless thicker glass is used.

1247534	2012-01-15 18:22:00	So what, it's already a ton stronger than normal reinforced glass.	Chilling_Silence (9)
1247535	2012-01-15 21:19:00	So what, it's already a ton stronger than normal reinforced glass. I know, I was just mentioning it in case anyone had any ideas of purchasing a gorilla glass device with the idea that it would be 20% tougher than the current CGG I love GG, I still don't get why apple persist with their silly edge to edge glass design, it breaks so easily. Being a student I see a LOT of people stoked with their new 4th gen or later iDevice. A week or later they come back to me with the whole front screen crushed asking me to fix it. Only 3x people I know have galaxys. My mum's one is the only one that I can confirm that has a rough life. She's working overseas with the Aussie and NZ military. Still no reports of damage, last I heard she couldn't figure out how to make it sync again :p I don't know if Apple are using GG but if they are they are doing it wrong.

1247536	2012-01-15 21:52:00	Well 20% tougher than "Almost unbreakable short of using glass or diamonds on it" is still out of the reach of most people. The iPhones have some other strengthened glass, but it's got nothing on Gorilla Glass. I've taken to mine with scissors and a stanley knife / box knife, and it's still perfect :D	Chilling_Silence (9)
1247537	2012-01-16 17:57:00	Oh god no. I don't want TV in a bedroom. Or internet. I don't want to be looking at work stuff in the bathroom. How annoying and intrusive.	pctek (84)
