Can You Move That Skyscaper... It's Blocking My View of the TV

Ok, that does sound pretty cool. A laptop in every room. I mean This Guy does a lot of cooking, so a laptop with All Recipes.com in the favorites does make lots of sense in the kitchen. I thought those laptops were for little kids in Africa, but if this guy wants to make his extra bedroom a warehouse of OLPC computers, than I say go for it. I mean it is America after all.

And as cool, as a laptop in every pot sounds, how about having this baby in your backyard!

This is the world's largest LED Tv and it's going on a building in Dubai. 33 stories tall. That's right 33 stories. It will be able to be viewed 1.5 kilometers away. Now, my math isn't all that great, but let's just say that's pretty damn far.



So, today's show has hit the full cycle of what technology has become in 2008. $75 laptops and $75 billion tvs. God bless America (oh yeah and include Dubai and Africa, too).

Simply...Awesome!

Ok. I've decided I would like to buy a new laptop. I don't need one. I wasn't even wanting one, really. Then, I did some searching on this internet thing. It's cool, you should try it (I suppose you already are if you're reading this.) While "surfing" the interweb, I came across--what I believe to be the coolest looking laptop ever created.

See, you like it too! I'm pretty sure That Guy wants one as well. It's cool looking. It's functional. It will have haptic feedback. It will load This and That in the Morning, just as well as that Dell you're logged on to right now. Only one problem: this computer won't be available until 2010. This is the 2nd generation XO from OLPC (one laptop per child). It will probably be a linux OS, which is cool-- because there will be lots of free programs to go on it, when I buy one-- or 6. They'll retail for around $75 when they come out. Yeah, you heard me right. I can buy one and put it in every room of my house for that price.

My question is what are your thoughts? Will you be buying me one for Christmas? I think you should, afterall, I may need one in the kitchen too.
