The Floating PowerBook

Posted by timothy on from the ooh-spooky dept.

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."

    From "floating" I thought this was going to involve waterproofing.

  3. Slashdot news - A SHELF! by mrRay720 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Front page news on slashdot today - a shelf.

    TO be honest you're doing this shelf a disservice anyway. It can hold much more than powerbooks, such as plates, magazines, monkeys, fish fingers, books, CDs, 750:1 scale whales, etc.

    A news item about a shelf is bad enough, but failing to give it a decent multifunction review is just criminal.
