May 17 2007Next-Gen PC Design Competition
This PC was the winner of Microsoft's Next-Gen PC Design Competition. The design is called MADE (Massively Administered Digital Entities) in China and consists of a touch screen interface and remote servers that store application data. Additionally, there's a chopsticks-like stylus called the CHOPstylus. Sadly, my entry was nowhere near the top. I designed a PC made entirely out of cake. It even had a revolutionary interface through your mouth. Although on second thought, it was less of a PC and more of an actual cake.

I'm not Chinese, but 1.3 Billion of my friends are. They have assured me that making a computer interface based on a traditional chinese style plate and eating utensils is courting disaster.
If I invited my parents over to dinner and then figured they had been eating off my $1000 microsoft interface plate using my mouse knife and flash drive fork... I'd be pissed off!
and Soy sauce is a bitch to get out of usb ports.
