I think they've just established a whole new standard for cubic measurement. "Really? You only have a 250KJB fridge? Why, your competition at the next booth over are showing a 300KJB Fridge. Call yourself innovators?"

Nice.

Are you kidding? Please. My girls can handle this. The soul devouring creatures on "Jersey Shore", however...

"The Ramans do everything in threes". Second best final sentence ever.

...now go do, that voodoo, that you do, so well!!!

The art of bomb aiming, even in daylight with the revolutionary Norden bombsight, was still very much in it's infancy in WWII - with high percentages of tactical misses (e.g against a specific factory) measured in *miles*.

Disappointing? Sure, if you are expecting any form of augmented reality or HUD. Useless? No, I can imagine Ag and SAR pilots using these as an alternative to light bars when flying grids. It's quite a neat little solution for what it is intended to do - and then some.

Two words: collimated display. More than two words: Optically, it's incredibly difficult to put an image in front of you that you can read regardless of where you are focusing. There are some clever technologies slowly coming on stream that have promise. Light Blue Optics are doing some intriguing stuff - they claim…

@spudhed: Really? Anyone? (...Bueller?..)

*wince*

*winces*
