Transparent Post-Its let you see what you're editing
It's not often you see an innovative twist on an already good idea, but 3M's done it with their transparent Post-It notes. Called Sheer Colors, the see-through notes have a host of uses — from highlighting borrowed books to marking up photographs without actually defacing them. They also might be a decent choice to cover the eyeholes in your Iron Man mask.

This is a great invention that I never realized I needed. Much like the ubiquitous yellow stickies, but for a much narrower portion of the market.
My initial reaction to these is that they'd be great for marking up film festival programs and textbooks that you'd otherwise like to keep in pristine condition.
This is what I consider a "million dollar idea"

I want to have them!! I always work with my books and write many things in there but sometimes, months later, I'd like to clear it and write something else instead (for example because my opinion changed.) I wonder, why on earth I never thought about such postits... :-)
