Supersonic bizjets could have windowless flight decks

Goodbye window blinds up....! (finally!)

Removing the windows from the sides of planes would in a lot of ways be a fantastic thing as this would finally get rid of that rather stupid procedure of raising the window blinds during the 40-minute pre-landing experience where we have to turn off our own personal playback devices (which emit no radiation or very low magnetic field) and watch the airline's promotional video (on old CRT based drop-down TV sets that emit huge amounts of magnetic fields and could interfere with the plane's systems) about where we're about to land (rant over).

At least it would be one less thing to be bugged by the cabin crew about when you're trying to sleep on a long haul flight.
