Back in college, many moons before the iMac, I decided that it would be cool to collect see-through electronics. So I obtained a clear phone and a clear Logitech mouse. I chortled to myself when the prim & proper girlfriend of a certain MIT guy (I thought he should be dating a geek girl instead — like me, for instance) told me that my phone was the ugliest thing she had ever seen (she just didn’t get why it was cool). I secretly coveted the clear-cased Newtons that, at the time, only internal developers were able to get. I would look at translucent devices at the store and wonder if I really should go completely overboard and buy what was available: clear answering machine, cordless phone, trackball, joystick. But I never added much to my collection, and when see-through things recently became (oh no!) trendy, that killed off any remaining desire I had of pursuing it seriously. However, the one thing I always wondered about was whether I would be able to find a see-through television. So when BrainLog linked to this television the other day, I had a huge urge to buy it. Now that the iMac has made see-through computers a Big Yawn, a translucent TV is really the ultimate.
