I got a ticket for driving while talking on a cell right after California enacted the law. I was at a stop light, my phone rang, and I answered it to tell them that I was driving and would call them back. I hung up, the light turned green, and I got pulled over and handed a ticket that stated I was being cited for (and I quote) "failure to purchase a BlueTooth device".
I have a crappy laptop with a broken screen and missing a battery, hooked up to my 32" flatscreen and 500GB external HD. It's also got a USB wireless mouse and a WiFi card. Mostly I leave it on a random playlist of my movies and TV shows, but with the wireless mouse I can manipulate it from the couch.
Now that I think about it, it would probably block the fan on a tablet or laptop. Perhaps a bit of particulate filter secured to a corresponding hole cut out in the plastic? All of the sudden the solution doesnt become so simple anymore, when you're fiddling with 6mil plastic, duct tape, and impulse sealers to fashion your own dustproof case...
Seal your tablet in a vacuum-sealer, like the kind designed for food.
I've been pondering ways to reinforce my netbook against impacts. I'm reluctant to just fabricate a steel case for it.

Where the hell can you get a HTC Eris for $79? Looks to me like they are in the $400+ range.

If my understanding of science is correct,

Is it also running Folding@Home in the background?
The pinnacle of scientific achievement, obviously.
I wondered this myself...

Guess I'll have to get on installing that copy of Yellow Dog Linux I have kicking around.
