New Research Could Lead to Transparent Displays 85
An anonymous reader tipped us to a ScienceDaily story about advances that may lead to transparent transistors. By combining inorganic and organic materials, we may reach the goal of transparent surfaces that can display information, with no visible wiring marring the effect. The article cites HUDs on car windshields, and targeting goggles for soldiers, but I'm sure we can think of some additional interesting uses for such a technology. From the article: "High-performance, transparent transistors could be combined with existing kinds of light display technologies, such as organic light-emitting diodes, liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and electroluminescent displays, which are already used in televisions, desktop and laptop computers and cell phones ... Prototype displays using the transistors developed at Northwestern could be available in 12 to 18 months, said Marks. He has formed a start-up company, Polyera, to bring this and related technologies to market."

Last time we went to the Turgid parents' to visit, I recovered my old violin, which I have not played much since I was 16 years old. I was never very good. I only made it to Grade 5, and it was like cats being strangled.
Mrs. Turgid, blinded by love, enjoys hearing my feeble attempts at scratching out a tune. She comes from the Methodist tradition (sing loudly and in tune), whereas I am a joyless, puritanical Scottish athiest.
Journal Journal: RIAA moves to reduce artist royalty payments
RIAA is searching ways to lower the rate they pay music publishers and songwriters for the use of the lyrics and melodies with which they create sound recordings. RIAA argued that the rate hasn't been adjusted since 1981, and that piracy has devastated the music industry and that sales have plummet

I don't get it. What's a startup? This Huminininity place is a startup? It's two guys with some weird software and a terrible web page with no bandwidth.
What is their business model? Selling people t-shirts while they use the software for free?
I'm one guy. I also sell t-shirts and give away software. I'm a startup too!
