The Body-laptop interface is knitted from Thneed which nobody, Nobody, NOBODY needs

Uh, er, that's the Body-laptop Interface. The idea is to provide the user "privacy, warmth, and concentration" when using a laptop in public spaces. It's just a concept for now... at least until Thanko or SolidAlliance sees it.

Way to go on the over heating
Dani @ Apr 16th 2008 3:59AM
Not only is your laptop everheating, but some cheeky bugger has ran off with all your stuff...
PJK @ Apr 16th 2008 4:29AM
My Eyeballs feel itchy just looking at that thing.
LondonConsultant @ Apr 16th 2008 4:31AM
The BBC has slashed the Dr Who budget this season...
Sukhminder @ Apr 16th 2008 5:35AM
If I see someone wearing that at Starbucks I'm going to put salt in their coffee.
Andrew @ Apr 16th 2008 9:07AM
I just threw up in my mouth a little.
The Purveyor of Justice @ Apr 16th 2008 10:14AM
Yeah, definitely not conducive to good cooling.
James @ Apr 16th 2008 12:47PM
Or you could just put on a blanket if you're cold?
Rayan @ Apr 16th 2008 3:51AM

badenglishihave @ Apr 16th 2008 7:44AM

April fool's day was like two weeks ago.
cuzzie @ Apr 16th 2008 3:51AM

Mars @ Apr 16th 2008 3:53AM
Add a hole where the laptop should be and it can be used for kinky times.
wasabi @ Apr 16th 2008 3:54AM
a glory hole?
RichardBronosky @ Apr 16th 2008 9:45AM
@Wasabi,
FTW!!! HA HA HA!
OnlyShawn @ Apr 16th 2008 10:15AM
...was thinking that the 'covering' may need to go a bit further up the torso, for real private-time-use-laptopping.
ingus @ Apr 16th 2008 3:56AM
just want to say, there ‘might' not be a laptop in there....:P
Mic2000 @ Apr 16th 2008 4:08AM

TeddyLikesComputahs! @ Apr 16th 2008 4:00AM
hahahahahaahhahahaha .....inhale....exhale........ hahahahahahahahah
JAmerican @ Apr 16th 2008 4:03AM
What's that smell. Its just the hundreds to possibly thousands of chemicals you are inhaling from the exhaust of your laptop directly.
Nice way to clear up the sinuses, get cancer, and possibly die quicker.
What are the chances of that happening though?
LOL.
T-Bone @ Apr 16th 2008 8:44AM
Thousands of chemicals in laptop exhaust? I find that to be highly unlikely. It is just air running over metal.
Aguiluz @ Apr 16th 2008 4:24PM
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) buildups, however, are very likely to kill you especially if you are using it for a long time.
whowhatme @ Apr 16th 2008 4:45PM
also, if you haven't showered recently, this could pose a very real health risk
ben @ Apr 16th 2008 7:28PM
JAmerican's laptop runs on a mixture of gasoline and cigarettes.
dBs @ Apr 16th 2008 4:03AM
The INTERNETS! Seriously private business!
clarkstar @ Apr 17th 2008 5:33PM

bearmann @ Apr 16th 2008 4:04AM
Haha... this made my day! =D
Awesome! Dunno if it's "better" than the usb-vibrator ... or the usb-foot-heater. >_>
happy_penguin @ Apr 16th 2008 4:06AM
That is just weird.
AlexHD @ Apr 16th 2008 4:10AM
Needs one more hole so I can rub one out at the same time.
happy_penguin @ Apr 16th 2008 4:17AM
OMG you ain't right!! :D
Rask @ Apr 16th 2008 6:38AM
ROFL. Beat me to it..
Zeus.:God @ Apr 16th 2008 11:25AM
Yeah, he sure did "beat" you to it.
Danger mouse @ Apr 16th 2008 4:12AM
8 months till christmas - better get knitting to make one for someone you love!
computer.dude.28 @ Apr 16th 2008 5:11PM

Egfrow @ Apr 16th 2008 4:16AM
Makes it quite a bit easier for pick pockets and thieves to go through your belongings.
Adam @ Apr 16th 2008 4:17AM
i can't describe how much i love the lorax in the corner.
Derbeste @ Apr 16th 2008 11:01AM
I was wondering when someone was gonna make that allusion. First thing I thought of two.
fh @ Apr 16th 2008 4:18AM
Somehow I think I'd enjoy seeing these in Starbucks.
MikeWard1701 @ Apr 16th 2008 4:23AM
HELP! Its trying to eat me!!!!!
torqueo @ Apr 16th 2008 4:36AM

ethana2 @ Apr 16th 2008 4:39AM
lol-human subtitle:
NOM
...this is an interesting idea, but I think the person should just buy one of those LCD light angle restriction clip-on thingies...
ethana2 @ Apr 16th 2008 4:40AM
I also commend engadget on admitting to posting about something which 'nobody, Nobody, NOBODY needs'
....*cough*
..Although there is a difference between need and want, I suppose.
technophobe @ Apr 16th 2008 5:07AM
Apart from being a stupid idea, and looking ridiculous, being umcomfortable, and getting robbed, getting beat up, getting laughed at, looking like you can't dress yourself, having a woolly device around your head and your computer and looking like you are masterbating... I'm not sure that this would actually work, I'm not sure that the viewing angle is sufficient to see the whole screen and the keyboard
Simon @ Apr 16th 2008 7:36AM
It seems like u struck upon a great new use and target consumer base for this product. Sexual deviants who want to jack off on the flight, from the comfort of their own seat.
