LOL! clever, eh? People have taken pics of the scene and then made them as background images on their computers, then arranged the computer carefully so that the desktop background matches the scene.

I like the ones where they have two or more screens lined up...

*sigh* That's what I figured.

Transparent monitors like that are *theoretically* possible, but I didn't think anyone had managed to get "OFF" pixels sufficiently clear yet (for any of the candidate techs), and it'd take some *really* clever packaging to keep all the opaque bits of circuitry away from the "back" of the screen.

I think we might see that in a decade or so, but...I didn't think it was around *yet*. (There are things I wish I was wrong about.)
