Both a bit sad and utterly brilliant at the same time
Hand-built by YouTube user?klapstoelpiloot, this touchscreen PC is?inspired by the LCARS interface from Star Trek, and controls a host of different functions, from grocery shopping to media streaming.
Both the computer and the software is handmade, and the creator is hoping to add extra features at a later date, including, perhaps, automated lighting systems.
However, for now, he can use the system to run his agenda/calendar, check out train times (directly - not through a browser), and surf the 'net - all of which are shown in the clip. Plus, his creation has Bluetooth support to send MP3s and the shopping list to a mobile device, and a Torrent downloading client.
Now all he needs is a humanoid robot with skin like the ginger one from Girl's Aloud (or, just the ginger one from Girl's Aloud) and he's laughing.
