These things are wasteful in an age where energy conservation is increasingly needed. Anyone else think of this?
Out with incandescent light bulbs, in with always on LCDs to display images? Capitalist logic at its finest.

I don't know -- What's the energy cost to create the resources needed to print a photo? Ink (produced and delivered), paper (produced and delivered), and printer power?
It's not always as cut and dry as one might think.

I was pondering the same thing. How much juice do these things suck down? and is there any chance they could be powered by solar or something? Perhaps in the form of a really fat frame with solar cells on it?!
I guess the ideal form for these frames would be colour e-ink. Perfect for reproducing the feel of a physical photograph and also only using power when the picture changes.
Guess it will be Christmas 2009/2010 before we see anything like that?

Perhaps Gore could move to a regular size house - the savings from that would prolly allow every US citizen to have a few of these on 24x7 for years.
