Burqa: a robe worn by some Muslim women in public (mostly Afghanistan). But it's not some creepy cloak that connects to your hat so you can do who-knows-what on your laptop in public.
The Craigslist pitch is classic:
Dont bother with those anti glare filters that do not work . Stop those pesky peekers who cant seem to mind their own busniess while your working on your screen…. Trend setters says Laptop Burka is the newest hot ticket on the market today ! Own yours today .Patent Pending…
Real or not, +1 for creepy ingenuity. [Craigslist]
