Five PC Innovations the Industry Should Get To
An anonymous reader writes "Flexbeta.net has an article which describes 5 great technological advancements in computing that just about every PC user wants." From the article: "Why has there been such a sudden lack in innovation as of late? Are we in a technological drought? I like to stick to my own diagnosis of the industry as being too concerned with keeping a steady cash flow over social experimentation with new products but then again that's just an opinion from a little guy."
Servers that survive /.ing...

You've read too much Slashdot if you dream of mousing while cuddling with your laptop.
Get a room you pervert!
How about websites posted in slashdot that would not get slashdotted? Now that would be innovative.

All your fancy-smancy gismos. Why don't you overclock my abacus!
Quack, quack.
You insensitive clod.
The technology of "cuddling with machines" is probably a lot more advanced than any of us care to admit. This type of technology is more the domain of the Leisure Suit Larry crowd than the Dilbert programming crowd...so I am not sure if the jab at the /. crowd is fitting.
"no one's going to listen to you if you're a dick ;)"
Thats a crock. Too many listen to Cheney. And he's a big dick!
Slashdot UIDs over 900000 make me seem authoritative.
Since your server is fucked and none of the usual mirrors have a complete copy, how about pasting the whole artilce here? Then we could abuse you for what you actually said.
I completely agree with you. Worst. Article. Ever.

So now apparently what are essentiall slashdot comments (by the slashdot primary base of college students) are worthy of becoming entire news stories for technology websites. I'm going to be rich! We all are!
2. digital clock on laptops. I'd love to have an external LCD display showing the time, even when the machine's not on. hell, that'd even be useful on a desktop machine.
And for some reason I picture that a lot of them will be blinking "12:00".

They're not impossible but then, it's not common for a naked maniac with a sword to rampage through a church in London but it did happen once ;-)
