From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
I've always wondered what these electronic billboards run on. Obviously I'm not going to cut one down and bring it home to study nor will I impersonate a customer to get one, so I'll never find out, but it's cool someone did manage to hack one.
