Based on a recent patent we may be seeing a new kind of display coming from the Apple store in the near future, one that can capture images as well as display them. From the article: "The clever idea is to insert thousands of microscopic image sensors in-between the liquid crystal display cells in the screen. Each sensor captures its own small image, but software stitches these together to create a single, larger picture."

I hope not, I'm just guessing that it'll be used for video chat/conferencing and some little spying won't hurt

Apple - By his Brotherly appointment - official manufacturer of telescreens.

My webcam always points at the wall with tape over the lens when i'm not using it - does that mean that if I wanted one of those monitors I'd have to do the same thing?

On the upside, solving the "not looking at me" problem with video conferencing would be good.

No more sitting in front of my PC naked.

You can even run XP now on Intel based Macs. What's the world coming to?
