Meet the Laptop You Will (Won't?) Use In 2015
robert2cane writes "The Compenion concept notebook, designed by Felix Schmidberger, eschews the familiar clamshell design in favor of two superbright organic LED panels that slide into place next to each other, making the notebook just three-quarters of an inch thick." Really this page is just some renderings of some concept computers that are pretty far out of practical production reach. Some interesting ideas, but mostly a whole lot of 'Yeah, right.'
Lets just hope car AI has been perfected by 2015 or we are all going to get mown down by someone who just has to check their facebook profile.
If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we shoot people for Apollo-related non-sequiturs?
BTW: You can have my keyboard when you pry it from my cold dead hands!

Oh, well. It seem that 2015 will not be the year of the Linux desktop.
You must be new here...
Actually, one of the screenshots had a clearly visible logo of XP. That's interesting, if it's meant for 2015...
Assorted stuff I do sometimes: Lemuria.org
Its organic!. Therefore it's obviously better for you in every possible way!
Or does that mean its steeped in unprocessed manure?
I always get those two mixed up....

Did Slashdot really just link to a page with the words 'free' and 'host' in the URL?
Some interesting ideas, but mostly a whole lot of yeah right.
Actually, mostly a whole lot of 500 Internal Server Error.

Hah, onlu dumb peopke meed to look ar their fongerd ti write.
Oblig.
First of all, the E70 has a full keyboard, not some shitty stripped down, tap-and-pray smudgy piece of shit. Nokia uses a technology that's even more advanced than the iPhone's tap screen, allowing you to actually feel the keys you press as you're pressing them! The technology is called "tactile response," and it allows you to do things like dial a phone number without staring at your screen like a shit-chucking ape. In fact, every other cellphone ever made has this technology, sometimes called "buttons."

That's because by 2015 Microsoft still won't have an operating system better than Windows XP.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Meet the web server you won't use in 2008.
"Drivecar.exe has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down."
Or...
"Inflate airbags: Cancel or Allow?"
.sig: No such file or directory
much easier to have the rootkits pre-installed

Just what I wanted, a Diet Code Red Mountain Dew sinus rinse and keyboard wash.
microscopic ray guns built into every pixel that fire tiny repulsor beams into your fingertips as you type, creating the illusion of feedback. Plus tiny speakers also built into each pixel that creates the sound of clacking springs. the deluze model has miniature tractor beam guns bulti in for those who want that "spilled the coffee / ate a doughnut over the keys" slightly tacky feel...

Rollable makes little sense because you'll just look like you have a donkey dick in your pocket.
It already looks like I have a donkey dick in my pocket, you insensitive clod!
I've been trying to access TFA since about 8:50 and it's been down the whole time... yet there are already 113 comments on this story, 13 of which are rated 4 or better. I love Slashdot, I really do :-)
*reflects on the hypocrisy of this post*
Hopefully they'll get their act together and actually adopt a standard everyone else uses for once instead of making their own.
Sony? You must be new here. And by here I mean Earth.
I am from Regina in the Deneb sector, and even I got that joke.
Remember, Slashdot does not have a -1 disagree moderation, and no, troll, flamebait, and overrated are not substitutes.
What can I say? Your ideas about the ideal interface differ from mine.
Singularity: a belief in the "God" idea with the "demiurge" relation inverted.
In 2015, I won't be too concerned about being mown down by an 'old road car'...
I'll be much more worried about being landed on by a flying DeLorean.
Worst. Signature. Ever.
