E-waste will be reduced when you just upgrade the main board with a new piece of system-on-a-chip... But how long the main board will be compatible with the new inserted System-on-a-chip? 5 years?

If you buy a desktop computer, you could easily use it for five years without upgrading.

Personally, I feel they should make it smaller and with a stronger battery that is able to power it for longer periods of time. There's no reason they can't, because the motherboard is so small.

 

Also, I hope it has an analog headphone jack. Please do include a DAC.

I found out the other day that the guys responsible for the legendary series of "dick in a box", "the golden rule" and "mother lover" have quite a few songs.... So funny! :)

 

Oh yeah, hell funny! And don't forge their "I just had sex" :D Turtleneck and Chain are soo funny!

Android is coming for the desktop... I hope this sort of thing expands.

 

I already saw a "computer-in-the-keyboard" type computer, but running I think Windows or Linux. Its really strange, and presumable wasn't upgradable, but anyway, it was so cheap that upgrading it would be a waste of time and the target usage (websurfing, etc) makes upgrading useless, anyway.

 

OTOH, I'm not really sure that the point is, anyway. Sure, you no longer need the computer but you need to connect all cables to they keyboard (which might make it more awkward and stiff on your desktop), so it isn't a laptop replacement (for that it needs wireless display WiDi).

 

Putting android on everything seems the rage nowawadays, but it is actually step back for the user. You only have a fixed set of apps, the google spying, malware is there, too, and you cannot install software freely as you want. Seems to me all the drawbacks, but very little advantages over having a real OS. It is fine for media players and "consuming devices", but not so for real "creating" and software development etc.

 

Edit. "Coolship is a strongly customized Android version" - ugh, NOO. That means in 3 years it is no longer updated, incompatible with other stuff, and you can't replace the OS with your own, anyway. Oh well.

This video should have been at least twice as long, he talks way to fast and skips over some interesting details in 1 second. But I guess it is taylored to the twitter generation where nothing can exceed your tiny attention span of ooh shiny!

I couldn't imagine the video any minute longer - it was all okay for me :laugh:

      Terribly difficult juggling map designing with work, but I'm still alive and chipping away at something very special. I'm actually making a collaboration of sorts with a friend, I make the map itself and he acts as my "Chief Scope Creep Consultant" that checks in every so often to make sure this project isn't getting out of hand. It's a good system!

      Things have been so bad these days for me...
      Just a year ago, I've been feeling dizzy, I thought it was nothing, today's stress, that type of thing, went to sleep...Still dizzy! 9 more days dizzy, went to doctor (I would have gone on the first day if NOT for the long appointment time)
      Said it may be Neck Dizziness...I did exercises for 6 months, no changes.
      Went to a Physical Therapist, went to another, no changes.
      I've asked my doctor for a full check this time.
      I hated yesteryear so much due to personal reasons, this year might be the same.
      To be brutally honest, I'd rather have cancer or/and chronic pain than suffer dizziness any second longer, especially when nothing helps.
      Hard to enjoy Thief when you're dizzy so I was hoping this year, Winter will be best for me.
