Back in the early days at Lycos, Danner Stodolsky, now at Akamai used so many weird little tricks to make things faster that we used to joke that we'd end up with a custom operating system. The supposed name? LycOS.
Luckily the world was saved from this possibility.

Finally, a motherboard that I can fit in a lunch box. Add in a micro drive, a mini-pci wireless card, and a usb gps and I'll finally have the warlunching rig I've always wanted. Heck, I'll even have room left over for a sandwich (which will no doubt be kept toasty warm).
My inner casemodder wonders why things like this include LEDs, rather than sockets/jumpers onto which you could put your own LEDs. I mean, motherboards use jumpers for you to attach LEDs for drive activity, power, etc., so why not network cards, usb and pci buses, keyboard and mouse channels, memory, etc. Then you could REALLY have a disco on the side of your case.
So, I can't decide which aspect of the woman pc should more outrage the political correctness police. The brains (motherboard) being in her crotch or the big fan in her butt.
On the other hand, such a design would bring all new conotations to the term "laptop".

Anyone want to start a pool on when a port of Linux to this will be ready?
It's time we finally got an answer to that immovable object/irresistable force conundrum.
It's fun, very tasty, come in a variety of colors (iSpuds?), and you don't even have to wash the dirt off this way.
