Caption Contest: My, what pretty computers you have on
Neither fashionable nor functional, this six-UMPC getup (there's also two on the back) proves once again that futurists have no idea what they're talking about...
Evan: "Um, stop staring at my screens; my eyes are up here!"
Cyrus: "Meet the post-modern iPod shuffle."
Ryan: "Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Selling newspapers in the future...sucks!"
Paul: "Failing to catch on with the general consumer, in the future the UMPC finally finds its niche shilling close-out mattress sales from public sidewalks."
Chris: "Tragically, the model -- who hadn't been following Engadget's coverage of battery recalls -- burst into flames just moments later."
Thomas: "22nd century Quaker -- you've come a long way baby."

"Past meets future as the model displays the new rage in Akihabara: the kimono of the 21st century made of fiber-optic strands for shoulder pads, flexible LCD screens in the front, and one large LCD in the rear. The hat is used to pickup Digital, UHF, and VHF TV signlas, as well as WIFI."

Geneticists announced today that they have successfully crossed a Human with a mushroom, a sea anemone, and a computer. The resulting creature, called a "Mushpu-seaman" is now on display.

"Honey, of course I'm listening and I'm sorry you had a bad day... but could you change TV 3 back to the game??"

Person #1: "I can't believe they're making us work the rice paddies in this stupid getup."
Person #2: "Yeah, but at least they let us keep the hats. Can you lean over just a bit please, I need to grab another bag from your shoulder..."
Or how about...
"Welcome to the Sonic Drive-in. These screens will help you place your order. Touch the top screen to select your drink, the 2nd one to select your entree, the third one for dessert, and your total will appear on the bottom. Thank you, and enjoy!"
