The photographers are in the water. Here is a pic that helped me see what was going on:

Cool, but rather disturbing also.

I'd assume that the power doesn't drop much at all with range... Did the person filming have it in a room fully tiled from floor to ceiling in matte finishes to keep it from scorching paint, wallpaper, etc?

Frankly, the implications of this kind of tech are much more disturbing to me than, say, Google Glass.

It's like boob wallpaper

Hi,
it's part of a Game of Thrones wallpaper by Boulet: http://english.bouletcorp.com/2012/08/19/kawaii-wallpapers-again/

In reply to this comment by hpqp:
Hello Janine, I'm curious as to where your avatar pic comes from; I like the style!

This is interesting. If it's a fake, they're not using the mouse. You can see the mouse in the reflection of the screen... the silver stripe can be seen... it's near the corner of the keyboard, and it winds up behind the "R" in the word "Wallpaper" on the screen when the flash is popped. There is no hand on the mouse. Also the message that pops up in the lower right makes it seem like the background is real and not just a couple JPGs being switched between.

On another board someone theorized that maybe the flash wreaked havoc with the LCD crystals themselves. Nope, it wouldn't knock out just the right half of the screen with a straight line down the middle.

Better theories:
Could a small EMP from the flash damage a chip behind the screen if it were right near the flash? Notice how close they put it to the screen. Maybe there is a separate driver of some sort for the right and left halves of the display. Maybe the light sensor that keeps the brightness comfortable in different lighting conditions produced a spike Asus never saw before in testing, and knocked out a chip. Possibly only temporarily.

It'd be interesting to know if anyone else has tried this, or if Asus has responded to it.

When I went to London a girl I saw stood next to one of those guys. She leaned in a bit too close and he reached out and pushed her away. I thought it was funny at the time, but now I believe these guys seem to have the idea they're actual guards. They're wallpaper.

The clown spider is even cuter.

Whom can I stab in the face so that this song will never surface again?

translated, poorly:

it's a rhyme, no sense here)
Druff means high / on drugs
slang for high/ on drugs
druff again

let's go, 3 days awake
next party eventually, 3 days awake
Afterhour before the hour, 3 days awake
3 days awake, now you're getting weak

full power take it, 3 days away
breaded and ding dong ding dong, 3 days awake
colorful pills party, 3 days awake
pulse like a rocket, 3 days awake

impossible to translate, 3 days awake

Mirror on the wall, who is 3 days awake?
You and your grandma are 3 days awake

nose is full, dick is shrinking, 3 days awake

gunk on the wallpaper, 3 days awake
on drugs, high, 3 days awake
absolutely no worries, 3 days awake

2x first verse

Now leave me alone please. I have to think about life decisions.

This man has nailed it. Besides fixing the law for digital properties, the consumer needs a reason to want to pay for the content he/she is accessing or downloading. There needs to be some kind of real value attached to buying the digital content, and not just because "it's the moral thing to do".

A good example is a site like Good Old Gaming. They sell old classic PC games without DRM. The real value is not just treating their customers right, but also adding things like soundtracks and wallpaper. I could easily pirate anything on there that they release, but I don't because they are offering me good value AND convenience for my dollar.

Oh man, his desktop wallpapers are smoking hot.

@gwiz665 that one's for you.
