Transparent Desktop Screens

trans_desktops.jpgHere's a fun little flickr gallery of "transparent desktop screens". Users take a picture of whatever lies directly behind their displays, crop them accordingly, set the picture as their new wallpaper, and take a picture of the whole set up. Ultimately a lot of time spent on something that only works if you don't move the computer at all, it's a novel little visual trick nonetheless (and not Photoshopped, either.) If nothing else, it might give you some inspiration for fun desktop wallpapers of your own. Or you could use someone else's and pretend to be on another desk altogether.

7-Eleven Will Offer Music And Movie Downloads

ipod_eleven.jpgConvenience store chain 7-Eleven is determined to dip their Slurpee straws into the world of digital content, looking to offer music, movies and whatever else they can think of to their customers, saying "customers should be able to walk into a 7-Eleven store to burn their favorite songs onto a CD or download content onto their portable music player." Picture-perfect scenario: Their system allows me to bookmark a song I like on the radio so that when I go to 7-Eleven next, it asks me to confirm my song purchase when paying for gas and sends them (wirelessly) to my portable/car media player. With their talk that the digital delivery system will be viable for them within 10 years, I think they could have something that advanced up and running by then. (Thanks, Ravi!)
