    This stuff should be go on Art... you know the paintings with the signs right beside them that say "please don't touch the painting"... The kind that invariably attracts some ignorant arse to plant his fat thumb on baby Jesus's face.

    Make the Wii/PS3/PSP/DSLite/iPod out of this stuff. :)


    I hate getting a new gadget and having it all fingerprinty right out of the box.

    Awesome. With the increasing usage of touchscreens, this will make the future that much more tolerable. I hate touchscreens for the very reason that I can't stand the fingerprint smudges. I mean, I couldn't care less that it's not actually clean, just so long as I don't have to look at the smudges.

    How will we clean the inevitable build-up of 'obscured' grease from the smudge-resistant film?

    Ahh, false cleanliness... You really must love the worrisome attitude of "everyman" that needs to Purel the world - spreading around the dirt until it dries to a crust on your "clean" hands.


    As for this surface, coat windows with the stuff, that way there's no discernible prints for the cops to pick up. Guns still make explosive residue.

    Of course, you could just use gloves to commit your crime.

    I can't wait until they begin making knife handles and gun grips from this stuff.


    Would make life much more worry-free!

    @Winston Smith: They do have something that serves a similar purpose out in the market already.


    Essentially it's a thin piece of material - sometimes cloth, but usually leather or latex - that you use to cover your hands. It absorbs the fingerprint oil on the inside leaving no residue on the outside.


    Apparently some versions also have a secondary benefit of keeping your hands warm.
