Last week we talked about a number of platform companies that could drive the future of the personal computer. This week we look at PC hardware, and we will talk a bit about some of the unusual products that are already on the market. Most are built by small companies focused on unique segments, but each, in its own way, is looking towards the future of the PC. How about a full personal computer for your car? Internet connection, e-mail, music, movies, navigation, games and shopping.
Another loving tribute to Apple. Our favorite columnist chases Apple's tail once more. When found to be too slow, he chases the vendors who are also chasing Apple and finds he can keep up. Meanwhile, in Nebraska a clever modder has put a computer in a corncob. His failure to adequitely cool it results in a blue screen and a movie snack. It would be good if you all got a grip.
