The Floating PowerBook

Pingsmoth writes "With the proliferation of laptops today, many replacing the traditional space-hogging desktop computer, this seems like a neat idea to free up even more square footage on your desk. It's the floating laptop, a 'stand,' if you will, that is invisible to the average user and just as functional as other traditional laptop stands. The obvious appeal of the 'Floating Laptop' is its aesthetic quality, especially when compared to some of the other stands out there, but it's also cheaper ($15) and only takes a half hour to build."

WTF is this guy smoking? He bolted 3 pieces of wood to a piece of cardboard... and this is cool... HOW?

For 3 more pieces of wood and (to be cheep) only 6 more screws, he could have bolted on some supports behind the cardboard to support his delicate and expensive laptop... but maybe the 1/2 inch he'd have to move his desk from the wall was unacceptable.

Although.. I feel with his carpentry talents he could have possibly made a fake wall out of an old fridge box or something to compensate... THAT would have been far more interesting then this crap.

I hate posts that bitch about how /. has gone downhill...hell I don't even mind the dupes... they're great if I miss a story if I'm not near the computer when the original gets posted.

But in the last few months, I've really been considering saying to hell with it. With all the raving fanatics, shitty moderation, and crap stories, this place is reaching the end of my patience level. The people who claim to "speak" for companies by adding all the "we're going to do this" or "we did this because" are really annoying as well. As are the people who reply to posts, including every bit of knowledge they know (googled?) on the subject... just to toot their own horns.

I've submitted a few things to slashdot and got them rejected...altho I know they weren't super WOW factor stuff, I figured they'd be good for a slow news day.

Well after they got rejected I was like "oh well".. .but then to see SHIT like this on the front page just is a slap in the face.

Thanks slashdot... for now I've posted a reply even I can't stand.

We're in the eye of a shit tornado, people.
