How small can computers get?

Has anyone actually seen this first hand and seen it work?

I am constantly amazed at what I see out there. We could stop inventing today and I bet it would take every minute of 50 years to fully utilize everything we have today.

Thoughts???

 

wow, that is really cool...

 

I have not tried that one, but I have a Sony U101 subnotebook PC that is very small (like a PDA), but runs full Windows XP. It is great for some uses. I am too used to my full keyboard layout to use it for everyday work, but it certainly is nice for some things.

 

It looks like the keyboard on this IS full sized. I wonder how it would "know" what letter you are typing? When I type, I cover many otehr letters with my hands, so it couldn't simply be recognizing which letters are not reflecting light back.

Hummm...

 

I hate little pcs. I want a big one I'm not afraid to use and that I can wrestle around with. I like them the size that people are afriad to use in fear of them falling over on the person and crushing them.

 

A big blue fan huh?

Do you find yourself wishing you had a computer the size of some of the first machines?

 

Yeah you'd never have to worry about anyone stealing that bad boy. It'll also probably keep your house warm.

 

You're funny.

Back to the article I posted from Snopes, I think it is really ingenious.

 

Yeah it is. How come in the top picture that guy isn't very impressed? They should show a picture of him at the end where he's got a huge smile on his face.

 

I was thinking along those lines... that's why I posted this thread. To see if anyone has actually seen the thing work in front of their very own eyes, not a video on the web or anything like that.

 

WOW I had seen a movie some time ago about this kind of computers. Great.

I am lucky to be born in an era when this kind of inventions are taking place.
