Intel's Developer Forum is usually less for the company to show off their next Blue Man-celebrated achievement and more for suggesting the directions computer developers can move in with Intel technology.

We can be what the kids like, too."

Right now the Intel Mini is just a plastic model, much like my time machine. But be warned, Apple: this model sports a digital clock on the front, and ain't nothin' cooler than The Time.
