Coffee PC Computer!

Here’s a rather interesting story on how a laptop kills an Indian Engineer.  It’s hard to believe and I think the authorities need to do further research as it could have easily been a bomb that was placed on the laptop.  Perhaps it’s a new computer virus that makes people explode…

A young software engineer working with Tata Consultancy Services was killed in a suspected computer
blast at his home on Telugu Brahmin
Street in Velachery late on Friday. The incident took place when Vijayakumar (28), hailing from Madurai, was working on the computer.

Police said his charred body was found in a sitting posture. “We are yet to ascertain the cause of the blast. The computer was completely damaged and the deceased was charred,” a police officer told TOI. Vijayakumar was sharing the house with two other software engineers, Vignesh (26) and Ram Prasad (26). When the accident occurred Ram Prasad was in the room with Vijayakumar, police said.

Exploding Laptop Kills an Indian Engineer!

Has Obama turned out to be a mediocre president?  That is something we will never find out until couple more months or years into his presidency but it’s clear Obama’s international popularity has continually been rising as evidenced by this Obama PC in Taiwan.

For some reason Obama has a lot of supported overseas by non-American citizens, they must see something that we do not see.

I have to agree though, Obama is perfect for international relations simply due to the fact that he is half white and half black, more presidents of other countries can associate with him I think.  Are we getting too political here?  Leave your thoughts in the comments.

The Obama PC seems to be made by a local company called Seed which we’ve never heard of before and the specifications are pretty basic, as it features a mini-ITX motherboard with an Atom 230 processor, the Intel 945GC chipset, 2GB of RAM (not following the Microsoft specifications here), a 500GB SATA hard drive and a DVD writer. We didn’t recognise the motherboard we saw through the cooling grates at the top of the system, as oddly enough, the motherboard is mounted above the optical drive.

The specs seem kinda mediocre though, they should put like a 4GB RAM and some better hardware….

Here’s a great way to spend your time with recycled keyboards…

In this interactive sculpture, thousands of recycled keyboard keys are embedded into a continuous textile. The keys spell out a line-by-line transcript of the email correspondence between the artist and fabricators regarding the creation of the artwork. As a result, the sculpture documents its own making.

Here’s a fun calculation, try 399 999 999 999 999 – 399 999 999 999 998 on Google.  It seems that there’s always going to be limits to machines so I don’t blame Google for not having answer to this one.  Like who’s gonna calculate this?  Maybe people in Zimbabwe since they have so much trouble with inflation.

399 999 999 999 999 – 399 999 999 999 998 = 0 – Calculation FAIL!

A wooden PC case doesn’t get weirder than this.

Chris Cook (aka cc3d) has designed a cool wooden computer case. The cool factor for this Wood Computer Case is that it comes with unique side panels that slide up to open. The case is also constructed from different types of wood.
