Silly Putty PCs. I don't have time to read through the whole article right now, but check out Coming Soon: New Alloys with Shape Recall. The mind reels, although I have to wonder if given my recent computer problems, I wouldn't have just rolled up my flexible PC and thrown it at the wall.

Or how about a window shade-style pull-down display with a wireless NIC and integrated CPU -- a thin client so cheap, you could have a bunch of them tucked away around your house?
