Like the spinning color wheel in DLP projectors that causes a noticeable and intolerably distracting "screen door effect" in a sizable minority of people?

Never underestimate the brain.

Never underestimate hackers. There was a suggestion for using lasers for transmittting data in the office to reduce cabling. Lasers. Across the office ceilings. Carrying corporate data. Think about that for a moment.

Not sure what you think the problem is? Laser diodes are pretty cheap these days and the ones in laser pointers focus pretty well. If the receivers don't reflect the laser back out, then it seems like a wire that you don't have to snake through the ceiling. Interrupted by paper airplanes? What's the problem??

I think the suggestion was that light scatters, and the corporate data could be read by just anybody, regardless of relationship with the company. Meantime, my workplace hasn't even managed to get 100 megabit working at faster than 300k/sec for a workplace of around a dozen people.
