>> Yeah, another piece of crap from Google that won't go anywhere. Another example of something Microsoft proposed years ago and failed at.

Actually Sony and others all proposed miniaturization for TV devices years ago, but ever larger screens won out. Current TV sizes are getting silly since you have to sit so far back that people are being shoved up against the back of the room. So miniaturization is a logical next step. This stuff will develop quickly - e.g. consider the development of the cellular phone since the days when we thought brick phones were so cool to the days when tiny Erikssons were the rage to today when manufacturers are trying to sneak ever-larger screens into a device that needs to slip in a pocket and provide PC equivalence all day on one battery. But once screen size on the device reaches the logical maximum- what next? Development of flexible screens you can fold up is well underway, but that's an old concept: things that cast pixels directly onto your retina aren't just cool, they're cheap, private, very low power, and coming closer to reality.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
