I am looking for a product i saw online that when you put on your
laptop screen it can be viewed only from one angle. A person who use
using the laptop would be able to see it and person who is sitting to
your left or right would not be able to view the screen or it would be
very hard to see what your doing.

I have a PowerBook 17" so i am not sure if it would work on mine or
not, i would like a like to the site that sells them and to amazon.com
or ebay so i can buy it. Thanks.

Any other product would do the trick : )

Dear xlr8s1v1ce-ga;

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question. You?re in luck! You can get them on both EBAY (for the
moment) and AMAZON.

The "thingy" you are referring to is called a ?screen filter? or a
?privacy filter?. Some of the filters produce security from
on-lookers, as they block display view (by advanced reflection
technology) from anyone but the one sitting directly in front of the
laptop. Some of them distort the screen while others completely
blacken the screen out to prying eyes who attempt to view it from an
angle. It?s a pretty neat concept.

Here are some I found offered by Amazon, as you requested:
