Wow, that does look cool. I especially like the concept of the "rolled up TV screen". Nothing like a 7 lb bike to help in the hills :)

A huge, time consuming obstacle still unsolved though is how to prevent the introduction of impurities into the matrices that give these materials strength. The introduction is easy to control inside a clean room, but in open environments, no one knows how quickly such materials will hold up. Rust on steel is no biggy because a steel girder's strength is in it's girth; but for an Earth-to-space tether made of carbon nanotubes, there is still no assurance the carbon matrix would last two days let alone two years.

Still good news for the nano folks.

Yeah, I think this is really where this technology is going - paper thin display. I saw a show talking about something like this where you will have the internet displayed on your glasses and whenever you look at someone, face recognition software will identify them and display that information on your personal heads-up display.

Heh, unfortunately we will probably have to hook big chunks of lead onto the frame to make it legal though...
