I've been waiting for something like this for a very long time. Can you imagine the hacks that this thing will be subjected to??????

The first thing I would like to see added is touch screen, a wireless server monitor to keep track of your server stats, a super wireless remote for your HTPC, a wireless VNC viewer, the list for me is just endless.

# 1 - Homage? maybe. . . . I agree, they don't really need to, but they could and the footage was available.

I'm a windows user and unless something drastic happens I always will be.

I have used Macs, I don't like them, but they're good machines, if you don't mind being cuddeled (My option). I use Linux but I want to be cuddeled more then that.

I've used solaris (?) talk about cuddle free.

If OSX were able to run on PC, I would get it and find a use for it, I would not expect tech support to help me, because in the end. . . it's just a computer.

Hopefully none of these things will have any output ports, would make a great trigger for something that makes a big boom.

EDUCATION!!!!

That's what will get them sustained clean drinking water. We can build them a water filtration plant and if they have one of these things with internet access they can download the user manual and run it themself.

Of course they need to be able to read, which brings us back to education.

I agree about the tacking "health" at the end of jibberish techno stuff.

The problem is 95% of these negative ion emitters have the reciever right beside it, which only gives an effective distance of a few inches.

An extreme example of this process can be "seen" during a big thunderstorm. You can "smell" the thunderstorm coming from a few miles away. That fresh air scent is the negative ion.

The idea of the negative ion emitter is that it go throught the room and collect dust and desposit it on the reciever.

Getting back the extreme example. Think of the rain as the negative ions, as the rain passes through the air it collects the dust and the reciever, the earth, collect the dust. After the storm the air smells fresh, more negative ions than positive.

I helped design a negative ion emitter/reciever with the reciever on the other side of the room, the reciever is passive. (no power)

If you want to be influenced by positive ions, work in a poorly designed TV studio, if you're sensitive you go home with massive headaches every night.
