    pat pending technology?

    The product page mentions, "The ability to multi-task is greatly increased with this patent pending technology." I wonder exactly what they are referring to (if its only the ability to "work through" video?), because my old PowerMac 7100/80AV video player had the same ability, so their patent claim might (hopefully) be voided by that or other "prior art".

    Amazingly Cool

    This will take some getting used to, but it seems to be one very cool little app that works exactly as advertised. Promises to be a great tool for movie reviewers.

    Sounds like a toy

    Perhaps Trans Lucy will be useful to somebody, but it sounds like a toy to me. I think the novelty would wear off very quickly, then it would just be obnoxious. A great tool for movie reviewers? They watch movies on their Macs? I kinda doubt it.
