A Million Useless Thoughts

I have a vision of a tablet and a desktop working together as monitor and workhorse. A tablet as just an extension of a PC. The PC acts as a rendering engine, compiler, digital library, the tablet as a screen an input device. When the tablet returns to be near to the PC it become a second monitor for that PC. Ok, I am in the market for a new PC at the moment and have dabbled a bit with early tablets (think in 2003). And for the most part the tablet part of that old laptop worked pretty well and the technology has merely been catapulted by capacitance and battery bad-assary. But the tablet still lack the true power of a desktop to compile complex code or render 3D graphics. Why can't we have both? A tablet that can dock to a PC and have the PC just use the screen. Then run off with just the tablet part and go read, take notes, etc. It seams useful. I think 'they' are starting to catch up with my ideas, given the Asus Transformer and the phone-laptop hybrid thing....

Well have I got the perfect solution, a clone. With a clone, for better or worse, at least you'll exactly what kind of help you've got. But, [name], I do not have a expensive bio-science lab with cloning tanks. Well then have I got the cheap home-grown-clone-kit for you, and I already know that it works, but more on that later. If you're like me, you come home filthy at the end the day and need a bath, which is where incidentally I do most of my best thinking. One day it struck me, one of those running down the street naked ideas, that I was wasting all of those skin cells and bits of hair at the bottom of the tub. If only there were some way I could utilize those cells to make a clone of myself. What I needed was an organic filter to capture all of that lovely biologi...
