    Ha... Great Idea!


    Setup a live video stream from a camera mounted on your monitor. Make the video feed your desktop wallpaper, if you can do that?

    I would say, currently, your monitor screen can be either a mirror (buy some mirror paint/finish) or a monitor screen, not both.. lol

    It would be cool to be able to "activate" the mirror with a touch and then touch it again and have the mirror go away and the screen come back.

    That could probably be done actually. My girlfriend has a phone that the screen acts as a mirror (and thats their marketing of it too) cause it's a certain type of screen. I'm sure they could make it into monitors, but it might be costly.

    Well, you could always stick a mirror on the wall behind your monitor.

    I was just searching around for a way to do this (I don't think it's possible though) and came across this. It's an application for Palm Pilots that will supposedly turn your screen into a mirror. Anyone willing to try it out? :)
