"Welcome back, Mr. Yamamoto. Would you be interested in trying out our new chinos?"

So in Minority Report, there was this great gag where Tom Cruise, with a surgically transplanted eye, gets recognized by a billboard, which projects a hologram and talks to him with a personalized ad for "Mr. Yamamoto". We're one step closer to that now that billboards in the UK are beaming advertisements to passers-by's phones via Bluetooth.

During my (failed) search for the exact wording in that scene of the movie, I came upon a page with images of the Lexus concept car from the movie. I love the Audi TT precisely because it kinda reminds me of the cars in Minority Report.
