Computer World just published a post showing off five laptop concept art creations.
My favorite is by far number 2 with two screens, the ability to use a stylus or type on a keyboard, not to mention the two stand up displays!
I have never really cared about the weight or thickness of my laptop so long as I am able to carry it, the battery lasts long enough and it’s got all the features I want. I still have yet to find one with a built in document scanner.

Great design and sleek look. Very futuresque. I’m not sure if this design is similar to number 2 in that it has two screens which can change, as they only show a keyboard on the one.
My personal favorite! Two touch screens for interaction or just display. Who cares if it’s that thick when it looks that good!
These pictures are really dark and I’m afraid I don’t understand this design, but the curves make for a nice looking machine.
Also very nice. The detachable keyboard is a definite plus. I would not recommend having the laptop inside the steering wheel while driving, unless your browsing Google maps.
Beautiful and eco-friendly. However, as most of us use laptops indoors and transport them inside bags, I’m not sure how this device is going to charge off the sun.
It has been said, many times, many ways…
Seeing something makes you start noticing it everywhere.
After writing about recycling, composting and gardening, I’m now noticing articles about this popping up all over my RSS reader.

Inside CRM posted a great article yesterday titled, “101 Five-Minute Fixes to Incrementally Improve your Web Site“
I have not finished reading through all of them yet, but there looks to be some great advice in there.
The topics covered include:
Dive in and see what you can do to your site!
Once or Twice a week you drag bags, boxes, or cans full of material thought to be useless to the curb or dumpster. Unfortunately, this material does not just disappear, it piles up in land fills nationwide. You can do something about this.
Get a group of people together who would be willing to recycle, setup compost piles, and possibly even garden. You can do it yourself, but the added accountability will help.
All of you could cancel your trash service and recycle all paper, plastic, glass, metal and other recyclable materials (view a full list here).
Then everyone could compost what could not be recycled. Egg shells, rotten foods, and more (view a full list here).
Finally, the pile left which cannot be recycled or composted is tiny in comparison to the plethora of “trash” you started with. Thus, instead of several bags bursting, waiting for the landfill, you might have a small Wal-Mart sack of truly useless trash, if you have anything at all.
You might not be able to cancel your trash service, as it’s usually not optional if you live in any kind of city. But you could definitely help the environment. The compost pile could really help with your garden. If you don’t have a garden, starting one is a great idea. Working with your hands and the earth to grow something is a wonderful, relaxing experience.
For those apartment dwellers, or renters who cannot till the soil, small flowerpots might be an option for tomato plants or other smaller above ground vegitables.
