We’ve all heard of, or even had dead pixels on the digital displays of various electronic devices we use on a daily basis.  And, I can say with near certainty that most people don’t want that.  I know that the small gaps on my nintendo DS drive me crazy whenever I use it.  However, an ingenious Dutch artist, Helmut Smits, thought of an entertaining idea for the upcoming image scanning in his area for use in Google Earth.  He cut out an 82 x 82 cm square of grass in an open field, so that when that area is scanned from the height of 1km, it would look just like a dead pixel in the image.  I’d love to be a fly on the wall in Google HQ when they see that and wonder if their equipment is bad

I’ll keep an eye on the area, and update this post when the image is available!
