Wowzers! Though it doesn't really make laptops obsolete, exactly. I don't think you can use one of these things in a jungle where there are no flat surfaces, or in a car, or on a plane. Still, very cool.

We're just looking through a crack. There are so many threads being followed, that ideas will keep all kinds of development expanding. A potentially infinite range of possibilities being filtered through cyber selection where the most practical advances, and tools that are specific for each job are being refined. Natural Selection travelled at the speed of sound. Technology seems to be developing closer to the speed of light.
We want a light portable system with potentially limitless power, and memory, with the capacity to interact with any system in the internet, from anywhere in the world, with absolute security. The target can be the biggest problem, but some targets can be the most effic...
