Special glasses for laptop use in plane

Some airlines (Delta, United, Virgin etc) are rushing to offer Wi-Fi internet connections in economy. Most people cite cramped space on the tray table as the major problem for laptop use in a flight but I think privacy is a more serious problem. Text chatting with my girlfriend or friends, I wouldn't want the guys sitting next to me reading what I write. We are all curious creatures by nature and easily tempted to read into everything that gets displayed on someone else's computer screen.

One way to solve the privacy issue is with special use glasses that the passenger puts on to watch what is displayed on the computer screen which stays turned off. I looked up online and found out that head mounted display glasses already exist. They connect to common video sources and are ideal for mobile entertainment and information applications.

I expect that as in-flight Wi-Fi becomes available and people take their laptops with them, there will be a big demand for use of such glasses to protect privacy. I think it's a smart investment to buy stocks of companies that make them.

you sick of facebook?

I know it';s fun but how the heck can I remove my profile? It has a really ugly interface but people still like it. WHY??? I mean is there ANYTHING valuable in it? Everything is useless and people don't even realize they're wasting their time. btw it scares me a lot the fact of the complete lack of privacy.

even application developers in facebook violate the terms of service. It's a creepy service for people who love wasting their time. Yes I have a facebook account but I'm not wasting my time in it looking at other people's personal moments. It's just a form of communication with my loser friends

Live forever on Facebook

If you can't remove your profile on Facebook, what happens to it after you die? It stays there and no one updates it. No one will even know you died unless someone posts your death notice somewhere. I can imagine the perfect application for Facebook, one that maintains and updates people's profiles after they die. It will send gifts, accept friend requests, send new friend requests, use other applications etc. The name of this new application? Eternal! And you can install it on your profile any time, even after you die, no problem, your lack of privacy continues to be respected on Facebook after death :)
