nifty new thang

I had to take a picture of this cabbie's fare meter, which is done up as a rear-view-mirror module instead of the standard, box-like piece of equipment that gets tucked into the dashboard down low, close to the radio. I imagine this design is a bit safer: the cabbie's eyes don't have to stray downward, off the road, every time he wants to flick a glance at his meter. His GPS (visible in the pic) is distraction enough. Click the image to enlarge it.
