    You are going to want memory foam side-bolsters too if you're going to keep the projector (unless it's got a floating mount which would be a lot of unessential tech for a job the memory foam could do) because every little shift you do while sitting is going to jostle the hard mounted projector.

    and you'd better have deep carpeting too. This thing would slide all over on burbur or any shallow carpet or woven rug. #conceptmediachairiphoneproject...

    It may not be able to recline or swivel but it looks like the surface if the seating area would be covered in vinyl instead of fabric. That definitely will make it easier to wipe down the hours of sweaty gamer funk which will no doubt accumulate in this chair. #conceptmediachairiphoneproject...

    There was a really good short series on BBC I think a few weeks ago called 'Stephen Fry in America', in which he had a short interview with Johnathan Ive in the last episode. I recommend watching the series if you can, if not for that part then because it's an interesting narrative of America from a Brit's point of view, and Stephen Fry is a freaking genius. You know Hugh Laurie from House? He would be NOTHING without Stephen Fry. #jonathaniveobjectified

    I found the little bit about the indicator light interesting, because I never really did see much value in all of the little lights lined up on a lot of other laptops, not even the HD access light. #jonathaniveobjectified

    @Kaiser-Machead: Those lights drive me crazy. When I look at PC laptops, I see so much that does so little.

    Apple has been hiding indicator lights for a while, but I first noticed this style of hiding an LED behind a metal bezel with micropores on one of the portables as part of the integrated iSight. I think it was the first intel MacBook Pro. #jonathaniveobjectified

    @ludwigk: I believe it was the second revision of the MacBook Pro. The first had a standard led, flush-mounted in the bezel. I noticed because I had a first gen, and when the new one came out, I saw the actual led was hidden and thought "Holy smokes, that's brilliant." #jonathaniveobjectified

    @ludwigk: The first mac I had with a hidden indicator light was a G3 iBook. Not the clam shell one, but the first all white one, it had a very cool indicator light hidden next to the display release button.

    And my big problem with PCs in general is the feeling that they just sort of figured out how bit the product would be, surrounded it in plastic, and called it a day. If it even looks like they tried to design a part, then it has touches, and finishes that look like they'd appeal to 7 year old Joel, not 25 year old old. Like that HP laptop that was on here not too long ago, it was obviously "inspired" by the macbook pro, but then they put that weird circular pattern thing on some of the surfaces that just looked ridiculous. I mean don't they realize adults are their main market. I'm not discounting kids that get computers, but c'mon, why does it have to look like something out of a bad sci fi. #jonathaniveobjectified

    @Mark Zegarelli: You could be right. I've got the 2nd gen sitting in front of me now, and whenever I use the isight, its a tiny spark of joy to see the status LED. #jonathaniveobjectified

    @ludwigk: Oh, yah, fair enough, I have a macbook pro now, with the iSight light, and the first time I saw that, I was super confused, I thought "did I not notice the little black dot in my bezel before" so I closed out, and it just went back to looking like metal. And then I was really impressed... I still would like to know how they do that. #jonathaniveobjectified

    Did you know that many buldings in chicago were built with zepplin landings on the roofs... After the hindenburg they were repurposed but many are still there. Imagine a 15 min commut in a crowded city to the airport at the top of a skyscraper.

    Pretty concept, but the designer isn't very familiar with the laws of physics... This thing will not fly as designed.
