Automotive heads-up display: cool.

Virtual fuzzy dice: pointless.

Also, from the comments:

I'll say. I can virtually smell you from here.

I've never actually seen the point to fuzzy dice.

Although I have to admit that virtual fuzzy dice would be pretty cool if you're into that sort of thing.

So in all seriousness, they intend to patent computerized displays in cars (and the virtual fuzzy dice displayed on them)? Another day, another ridiculous patent claim.

Someone should patent the Internet. Someone might steal the idea, and then we'll have to hack all IPs simultaneously.

It sounds kinda neat, though. Virtual fuzzy dice... Although I have my own pair, on my Coca-Cola lamp. The dots eventually came off one by one, so I had to use a Sharpie to "replace" them.

Tale of the Spirit of Money
I'm not quite sure I understand the Automobile HUD thing (I'm tired), but I like the sound of virtual fuzzy dice.

Virtual Fuzzy Dice?
Ummm...
Why not just get the real thing?
All in all I'd say this is a case of Technology being overused.
I mean, FUZZY DICE!?

They aren't patenting a virtual fuzzy dice, but rather the general display of anything you may hang from your rearview mirror.

I was just mentioning something in the original slashdot post with that. It would be kind of funny to actually see, though.
