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.

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.

Two scoops of ice cream, and two scoops of PowerBook.
