    everyone's saying it's a toilet, but really, the more i look at it, the more i disagree:
    i think it looks like a waffle iron.

    actually what it _really_ looks like is "George Foreman's Lean Mean Grilling Machine". If you've ever seen one of those, then the ottoman pc looks _exactly_ like that. only thicker.

    either way i think we should praise intel for coming up with their own slightly scary "creative" design instead of stealing apple's slightly scary "creative" design. Although it looks like it takes after the imac in one way: a horrible keyboard. except that the keyboard's built in, so if you want an extended or DVORAK one then too bad.. i may be wrong though. i can't really see from that tiny picture. And doesn't it seem like a circular monitor would waste a lot of potential screen space? well, whatever.

Now, if you were so cramped that you actually NEEDED one of these instead of a normal computer, would you have room for a table to put it on, or would you just let the prongs stick into your lap?
    Also, how heavy is it? And how much do one of these things COST? Rediculous when you get down to it.
    Cool concept, bad idea.
  • A lot of people (especially SOZO) are trying to call this 'creative'. Everyone, listen closely. I'll only say this however many times necessary to get the point across.

    Different != Creative;

    If I pile up some mud and stick a motherboard and other assorted computer parts into it, I have not been creative. I've been silly and (if the parts were any good) wasteful. But I've not made anything that anyone would want.

    Now, if they had nixed the display and keyboard, they might have a useful idea. I'd like a nice footrest under my desk. Put a bass speaker in the back and you'd have everthing that I currently have under my desk, but in a much more pleasing setup. THAT would be something new and useful.

    Note to all PC designers everywhere: Quit trying to put the PC into things that I use for vegetating. Working with computers is an active pursuit. When I choose to vegetate, I am choosing to be passive. You can't passively cruise the web. The web is something you have to interact with. So just stop trying to put a PC in my TV room!!

  • ...be condemned to use the things they design. (As a matter of fact, every designer should.)


    Designing a computer that you have to operate at the height of your knees, without space to put your legs to, is so damn stupid that they deserve to be sued by the first guy who was dumb enough to buy this and

    a) tripped over the power chord and either broke his neck, or the computer, or both, or

    b) damaged his spine while trying to look at he wheather report on Yahoo, or

    c) mistook it for a loo while drunk and toasted his willy while peeing into it.



    Truly unbelievable. I assume it's these Sozo guys that designed the Pentium casings -- who else would be able to render a business card sized piece of silicon about as handy as a brick...

  • What's even scarier is that you knew about it!
  • An AC wrote "Why stop there?" and pointed out that Intel still hasn't explored *all* of the possibilities for stuffing PCs into household objects. True enough.

    A few more places for them to start squashing them:
    -Trashcans
    - halloween costumes
    - fake fireplaces
    - pillows,
    - cupboards,
    - pie safes,
    - andirons
    - headboards

    ... I mean, boy, Intel, aren't you worried that your household object computers aren't stupid enough yet?

    I saw a talk given at the U Texas art school (through the dept. of design by a guy from RISD) a few years ago. The guy reminded me of the Design (yes, big D, because we're talking High Art) equivalent of Quentin Tarantino. And you like Tarantino's personality, imagine for a moment that you are annoyed by it instead.

    One of the designs he showed had me laughing to the annoyance of those around me - it was a DESK that was also a computer, and the hard drive was in ONE OF THE LEGS OF THE DESK!

    To what end? To what end?!

    The word "contrived" comes to mind. Wby don't we start to see some cars, say, that look like ... I dunno, toasters, instead of cars? How innovative that would be, eh? I'm not saying all cars should look alike or their evolution has finished, or even that I don't like radical new designs. But *any* designs should match the function of the device - house, appliance, whatever.

    That's my rant.

  • No, be fair people. Yea, it looks goofy (so does Apple's i-products). If you think of a house that's networked together, instead of sticking your server in a closet, you could have it in your living room and be able to check it at will. From a lot of postings, most people failed to notice that the keyboard is WIRELESS so it's not like you have to sit on the floor next to it to use it.. But think of having your main server (RUNNING LINUX!!) in your living room and durring commercials check your server. Not so bad..

    SGI started the whole "make-computers-astheticly-pleasing" concept, and having worked in an SGI shop I must say that while they look cool, they still take up useful space. There's only so many "artwork" computers you can put in a room -- why not make it into something useable? I mean if you've ever had to deal with fitting many "deskside" computers (SGI's terminology) in a server closet, you kinda get the idea.

    And for someone who want his own personal LAN in their own small apartment, this works. While it takes up space it also becomes somthing useable:q
    . As to the cables, just tie them all together. Most apartments have terrible layouts of power outlets, so you're tripping over cords anyways.

    Although I will grant you, it does look like those portable toilets for camping......
  • Have Intel ever heard the word "ergonomics" or do they know what does it mean?

    Can't they just build computers like they'd build a car? Don't drown the functionalities in the design, and don't give it a sombre design just because it's practical. Do a good job, then put a nice, curvy and colourful exterior.

    If Intel didn't try so damn hard to come up with something original, they might actually come up with something that's aesthetically pleasing for once.

    People! Don't have fashion designers design your PC cases! They know ergonomics as much as they know comfort!

  • That thing deserved to be kicked. I mean, when these stylized PCs come out they have this irritating habit of becoming popular. When things like this become popular, it gives Intel reason to follow their roadmap of eventually eliminating all user accessable ports (!). Read their PC roadmap. They plan to elminate the legacy buses (serial, lpt), then get rid of ISA, then PCI, then AGP. And this only gives them incentive. I swear, unless people want to actually LEARN how to use a PC, they shouldn't buy one. Cheap, disposable, and irrelevant is NOT what PCs should become.
  • Is it JUST me, or should this PC be called "Get Carpel Tunnel Syndrome Here" (spelling probably wrong). Look at that thick keyboard area, no way you could type without have your hands draped over. Am I the only one, that wants the PC to stay on the desktop, and stop trying to intergrate into my daily life? I don't need to surf the web while I'm taking a crap, or watching TV, I watch TV WHILE I'm at my desk by my computer....weird...

    I'll admit that I find the iMacs to be cute, attractive little machines. However, every single "concept" design I've seen from Intel is unrepentantly ugly. Does anyone else get the feeling they're trying too hard? I mean, at least you can tell that the iMac is a computer. Why do I want a PC that looks like a footrest?

    Even funnier is the article. Somehow, the author thinks that the spread of ubiquitous PCs will somehow commoditize it to the point that nobody will care about them, a la the hand calculator. What a load of crap. Why don't we get excited about hand calculators anymore? Because we have computers! And we buy them from the same folks who used to make those old hand calculators!

    Sowing the seeds of their own destruction indeed. Sheesh. Somebody's been reading Overdramatic Punditry for Dummmies.

    It looks like there are trackballs on the keyboard, but I can't be sure. Nothing is mentioned in the fact sheet about it.

    Agreed.

    I also saw him (Tarantino) speak at the Texas Union Theatre, just after the premiere of Plop Fiction. I got there late (didn't know that jerk would be usurping my viewing of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I'd never heard of him, much to the haughty dismay of the people I asked "Who is this guy?" It was standing room only, and the thing I thought was most representative of Tarantino was his lame \attempts to explain to a black member of the audience his frequent use of the word "nigger." Oh, he's a gritty, streetwise one, that Quentin.

    More like a lame-oh. I eventually did see P.Fiction, but boy was I sick to my stomach. Yes, it's slick and well-produced, but casual violence (to audience laughter) is not my idea of a good time. Violence? Sure, that happens -- but context and presentation mean a lot, and I didn't like his.

    That's what I meant when I compared QT to the silly computer/desk RISD guy.Hipper-than-thou, but without real substance. Sheesh.

    Glad that one other human on the planet shares my view of Tarantino, but I think you're too late with the hope that PF would be the last of this films. There have been sereral he's done / worked on since then.
