A good day

So today was the first day I took my work laptop outside and it is just a sad state of affairs.

Why do are all laptops (sans OLPC) so horrible in direct sunlight?

At this point in time, should we not have better screens?

I got around some of the problems by making my mouse pointer super annoying.

Mouse trails and giant cursors both helped a bunch, but after a while I had to cower in the shade.

There needs to be a simple filter/glasses combination that works around the problems.
