3 Prototypes From HP, In Outline

Posted by timothy on from the /_337-photoshop-sk1llz dept.

tekgoblin writes "Since the recent HP buyout of PALM we have been waiting for what HP may have in store for us. Well HP's CTO Phil McKinney has tweeted some pictures of 3 new devices that could be released in the near future." Note: the pictures' most relevant bits are blacked out with the subtlety of an expurgated FBI document, but they have me curious, especially about the wrist-worn device.

      I going to do this next time I am asking for venture capital. Take a picture of an iphone, an ipad, and lg watch phone, black out the details, and say I have new cool devices that will take over the market.

      Naw, don't you know? You can get a lot more reflections off the eyes than off the monitor. Zoom in on the eyes, extrapolate the reflection and enhance that!

    Maybe the featured device is a printer that automatically obfuscates any important details!

    If that's their new product they'll sell a million of them to governments around the world ;-)

    It's Sunday. This is just the Slashdot way of saying that this is an open thread and you can talk about whatever you want since the entire story is offtopic.

    So I was thinking, tritium-deuterium fusion is soo overrated. Proton-boron fusion is where it's at.

    Absolutely. But the ideal of aneurotic fusion isn't quite with us yet. What I want to know is, why isn't anyone investing heavily in IEC fusion?!

    I hadn't considered that possibility. However, with the right attachments, it could also be used as a screwdriver and to open cans and bottles.

    It's actually an ad for a new reality show from the makers of 16 and pregnant. You won't be able to tear yourself away from the trainwreck that unfolds as tech companies make ever more desperate attempts to take attention away from apple.
