But the long term interface improvement is going to be direct brain input, it will be broad control at first and it won't go big until we get to the point where you can at least simulate the modern interface adequately (modern for then, not now).

THIS.

In other news: virtual reality.

Future? No.

Are you the guy who came up with the whole duct taped Wii's? Can I shake your hand!?



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

The Official Huge Monster Hunter Thread: 



The Hunt Begins 4/20/2010 =D

That was silly, who listens to online radio, watches a bluray movie and streams a movie online all the while doodling around the web or desktop environment? And these are standard windows functions on any modern PC anyway and nothing exceptional! There's also the fact that most good PC with a TV out card can simply be hooked up to a huge screen TV and enjoy full resolution and all functions, it is just a big screen after all.
And 4 inches? Really? He measued only part of it, the adapter on the back was at least another inch and the bracket it was hanging on another 5-6 inches, which makes the use of a shallow screen kinda limited (Look at this brilliant car, it is only 8 feet long! Though, there is a 12 feet hood on it).
And then there's price... this will not be cheap, gimmicks never are. Besides, I'd much rather do my PC related stuff on my PC and not in the living room, can you imagine the kids or siblings/friends/family taking up the PC for silly movies or soap operas or cartoons and Oprah? Or playing console games? Or how about sitting in the common room doing work related things? Its not exactly mobile, is it?
Browsing less than savoury content online with the kids and wife for instance, sounds like a hit (good friends or ma and pa will also be jolly good)!

Bottom line; this is beyond silly, technology has not hindered such a fusion before, so it is reasonable to assume that there's a perfectly good reasons why TV's and PC's largely have remained seperate units until now... And I think I listed most of them above (how about we throw in the fact that the "PC" is probably quite weak hardwarewise, I can't see the top producers customizing their best GPU's, CPU's and other components to go into this towering shite idea of a screen). The whole concept is flimsy at best, why offer a product that no one needs? (No one needs a TV or a PC either for bare life but you get the gist of it).

Whew! Done!



I can't imagine that as the future of PC. PCs are becoming more mobile, with most of the PCs sold today being laptops, so integrating Pcs into TVs is the exact opposite of the trend. And as it was already mentioned in a post before mine: you only need a cheap cable to connect your PC/Laptop to the TV.
