    Awesome video! I like the guy scratching his head when he reads the bills that the wife has run up!

    @Chris, it could be!
    @John, yeah, I love the line “what the wife selects on her console will be paid for by the husband on his counterpart console.” :-D

    Very interesting video. I’m glad databases and web browsers eventuated instead of a physical camera in the store that moves to point to products of interest. How was that supposed to work when 100 people were browsing at once?

    Interesting too that the video monitors are flat panel :)
