Video Toombstones?
This must be bizarre technology week, but Robert Barrows has filed a patent application for a hollow headstone sporting a touchscreen LCD panel. Powered by the cemetery's lighting system, the headstone also has a storage device with the departed's final message.
We will skip the obvious comments on hard drive failures, the inevitable and especially ironic blue screen of death, and of course the fact that gravestones are OUTDOORS, or perhaps the worst place for an LCD you can actually see, but this does do one thing you have to think the tech world will love- force you to upgrade even after you are dead.
