Silliness Friday's Question of the Week 22 Jan 10 (Hey, it's tomorrow in Oz, anyway.)

pshrynk · 01-21-2010, 04:27 PM

Can I get a recount?

Javed · 01-21-2010, 04:39 PM

If it can be counted once then it can be counted twice!
It could be done using the energy-neutral pocket pc.

vivaldirules · 01-21-2010, 06:12 PM

I like that! But obvious questions jump to mind:

Can I get it backlit?
Is that a stylus? I really do much prefer to use multitouch devices.
What's the OS?
If I connect it to my PC will it be recognized as a drive or do I have to use some farking software from Apple?
Is there a straightforward DRM removal scheme?
Where can I download illegal arithmetic?

Katti's Cat · 01-21-2010, 06:22 PM

You forgot:

Is there a colour choice?
What about a cover?
Can I use solarpower to recharge it?

Fledchen · 01-21-2010, 08:13 PM

Are the beads user-replaceable?

Wetdogeared · 01-21-2010, 08:45 PM

At least it looks right justified. Maybe the user even has a *choice* of justification with that stylus thingy.

Back lighting is adjusted by spreading fingers apart or together.
Stylus is provided for pinpoint accuracy with detailed situations, however the screen is primarily designed for touch.
The OS is a highly advanced and newly developed replacement to Windows. It is called Skylight and some of its unique features include: environment responsive screen adjustment, snap-wrist calculation with problems that require a randomly generated answer, and also it creates a new 3D effect upon the screen by a pixel spinning technology (no glasses required!)
At this stage the Zero Carbon program needs to be installed upon the PC, this is extremely beneficial though as it turns off the computer when it decides by itself that you have used too much electricity. Best of all it usually does this no matter how much the user tries to overide it....it is foolproof! (Oh and there is a small annual fee that goes to Generation Investment Management owned by Al Gore)
DRM removal is a breeze; it uses the integrated rolling technology to remove this.
The source of illegal arithmetics are unable to be disclosed on this forum.

One colour only.
Yes the cover is an oversized hanky that is wrapped around the device; this is also handy if the owner gets a cold. An environmentally friendly solution as it uses no petrochemicals and has more than one use.
While not required to operate, solar heating does speed up the response times of the rotational technology incorporated in the screen.

No, this is only for very experienced technicians (for a small fee). Doing so would void the warranty and also may interfere with the devices delicate embedded feng shui patterns (causing earthquakes and possible redirection of comets). Please do not mess with bead replacement under any circumstances!

Justification

is variable

with the

embedded

gravitational sensor.

Well, I just don't know. Maybe I'll wait and see if aPpLe announces something like this next week. Whaddaya think? Does Steve Jobs think that enough people still do math to make it worth his while?

happy_terd · 01-21-2010, 11:08 PM

There was a vote on whether to allow recounts, but it was too close to call.
