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?

/.?? Slow Monday morning?? Whatever happened to the "stuff that MATTERS" part of the slogan??
Then why is it on
Oh, well. It seem that 2015 will not be the year of the Linux desktop.
Every year we see all sorts of concepts for computers that we'll be using in 5, 10 or 20 years time. Yet 5, 10 or 20 years ago, the devices we used then are still largely the same.
Sure, they're faster and have more memory, as well as maybe more colours on their screens, but ultimately they don't look all that different.
I very much doubt any of these concepts will see the light of day unless they offer something truly useful and innovative.

Actually, one of the screenshots had a clearly visible logo of XP. That's interesting, if it's meant for 2015...
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.'"
