@Kaiser-Machead's Cookie-Powered LEGO Machine: Midwife Crysis? I think you've just birthed a whole new genre.

Imagine in 25 years our phones will have the same specs.

Not a clue what to do with that, perhaps make a ultra-HD holographic video of anything within a mile range.

@Herman: Actually, specs will probably decrease for most consumer products, while their actually computing power doubles because they're that much more efficient, thus saving more battery life.

@twilight-arc: An operating system developed in an insane asylum, coded on a machine that was made using a mix of NEXT computer and TRS-80 hardware. IT'S OS was itself the bastard child of a cross between System 7 and Bravo. The discs which delivered the installer to Oak Ridge National Labratory were themselves said to have been found locked away in an unused room at the Verbatium factory. They were put there because it's said they were haunted by the ghost of a worked who drowned in a data stream.
