[Eug-lug] nu mac?

[Ben Barrett]

You can find these fancy mods on all sorts of models of laptops --
if I'm not mistaken I've even seen it done [somehow] on CRT's!

Psyche!!! :)

1. Put camera on tripod, take a picture of scene without computer

THEN:

2a. Take another picture, with computer in scene, using black desktop color.
3a. Crop and alpha-blend the first into the second (the easy way)

OR

2b. Crop the first appropriately, and set as desktop background (harder, but
allows more variety of experience -- only works from vantage-point of
camera)

Neat, huh?  Almost as clever as the dude who solved the rubiks cube with
only his feet, in record time... it was reversed, if only his housemate was
better
at walking backward, and he didn't drop it for that one quick moment...
which made it "float up" to his feet when played in reverse.  Clever folks,
with time
and tools on-hand... what will be next?  :)

PS - flickr has a great collection of these sorts of photos...
here are some:  http://flickr.com/photos/tags/transparentscreen/clusters/
