Is it me, or is everything reported that is IT related these days a conspiracy? LOL! Actually, this story was informative and helpful. It could have done without all the pretense though.

In the past, there were problems with matte screens and colors. Today, that's not so much so anymore. I think one of the best examples was the iPhone 3Gs screens. They were anti-reflective and anti-smudge, but they were not matte. We should see more of those types of screens. IMHO, there is no amount of color that's worth all of the reflection on a glossy screen.

I recall the original arguments on some of the laptop forums that pushed for the overtake of all high end laptop screens to be glossy. Still makes me sick. The last thing I want to see when computing is my face. It's distracting as all hell. And, sure I'm not that pretty either. I have 20/20 vision, and do NOT get bothered by the matte covering on non-reflective screens. I even try to buy TV's with matte screens. Glossy in a big living room reflects so much stuff you can barely watch the show. Heck! Even movie theater screens are matte!!!! All this B.S. about glossy is so incorrect, it's amazing.

I guess there's some irony knowing that the EU has as much issues with wasted government grants as we do here in the US.

Seriously though, I'm surprised. Seems to me that the Dam authorities are getting greedy. After all, are we not in need of more energy these days? Why not hook up to other states and send the power to places that might really need it?
