Funny stuff from John Cleese - The way i understand it, Compaq was competing with IBM purely on speed (the same, but faster), not dissimilar from how some folks are trying to create next-gen supercomputers nowadays. Is it possible to create a computer that beats the competition based on beauty and elegance instead (like how the Spanish soccer team plays on the world stage) ? A few months ago, I watched the Marvel Avengers Movie and in it, Iron Man Tony Stark had this little device where he flicked his fingers at a screen and this wonderful little 3d hologram of a computer popped up which he manipulated with his fingers. Anyone has any good ideas to engineer something like that ? I would love to hear and work with you on something like this - there could be other imaginative and original solutions I would guess.
