    It looks like it was inspired by Franzia. I've got a hangover just looking at it.

    I don't think the designer has taken into account how hardcore computer users interact with their environment and equipment.

    Take this concept, enlarge it to 24" by 18", build it as a seat cushion, and make it react to flatulence.

    For the pro-user, build a 32" by 20" "16:10 Widescreen" model, and make the underside of the ferrofluid seat cushion reactive to Cheetos dust.

    You're welcome, Microsoft Research Labs.
