There is even a ton of other forums that are questioning their mobile devices about if they got douchebag and demanding that they want it.

Prior to this article, none of these idiots had any fucking idea what it was and now they have to have it because of a stupid ass fucking article. Awesome, can't buy that kind of advertising.

It's still going to have all the electronics behind the glass, as well as your mounting brackets........So figure 5-6 inches away from the wall. Plus, most people mount their TV lower than they would hang a painting. Not too hard to imagine a kid running around and then hitting his face on that TV.

Again, not really a problem that would be unique to these swank new sets. My kid's bled from banging into a countertop corner, and there's no fancy glass on that.

Bah, if he gets to kindergarten without at least one scar to show off, I've failed as a parent.

True. But now days a scratch on a child means you beat him/her with a chain.

The glass sat unused for what, 50 years? And you are calling people idiots because they are excited about the potential modern-day uses of it now that people know about it? Wow.

I don't know what you do for fun (and you do seem like a blast) but I'll wager most people don't dig through the records at the patent office or research micro-fiche at the library for old articles on scientific advancements.

yeah I have no doubt that there will be SOME kid that does it... like trip's article about the kid injured because of a fucking picture.

but enough to worry about it? no.

I'm sure if you looked there's probably 10k+ people injured by ball point pens since they came into being... should we have just stuck to pencils?


or how about motorcycles and cars... god knows billions of people have died because of car and motorcycle wrecks... should we have just stuck to horses?

come on... we can't pad the world... people are gonna get injured in stupid ways... some killed... that's life.

Besides, there are already TVs that use "glass" around the edges. My 5 year old Sony XBR LCD was like that. He point behind his glass is that they can make how screens thinner and still retain the same or better resistance to failures. Btw the new Samsung Galaxy S has a new super thin screen ... hmmm...
