As I was leafing through the May issue of Byte magazine recently,
I saw an add for a board which allowed television signals to be
displayed on a window. I mentioned to a nearby friend that I 
thought it was pretty interesting, and he abruptly responded
"Why... I serves no practical purpose."

Well, my [limited] knowledge of multimedia tells me otherwise. 
What are some of these apparantly non-existant "practical purposes?"
