I thought something like this already existed. And it worked pretty well at the time.
Well, he is just a kid. Probably had some imaging tools on the local server and couldn't be bothered to get the disk out. A beginner's mistake!
But you didn't look closely enough. Those were open racks with motherboards on them. The red lights provide a nice movie style heartbeat status display.
Looks like an upmarket copy of Dashew's Unsailboat..
Look here http://www.dashewoffshore.com/fpb83_intro.asp for the old boat or here http://www.dashewoffshore.com/fpb112.asp for the new.
Which means most electronic devices of today. Including the iPhone.
Oh shit, the infinite improbability drive is on the fritz again.
Windows for Windex!

It is intentional. We are entering the age of consumer driven technology development. Even Microsoft is betting on the BYOD bandwagon.
The problem is, and it's going to take considerable time taking the wrong road to understand, consumers do not know what is right or wrong for the task at hand. We are abandoning working tool sets for barely usable tech, and every new gadget manufacturer assumes that the influx of new users of that device is going to overshadow legacy users. Steven Jobs had a knack for doing that right, but Microsoft large advantage was always its legacy support. They are starting to copy Apple even in that segment.
Devices are becoming dumber. Average users are becoming dumber. The age of hell for IT support.
We all know what is coming but it feels like the industry has been moving backwards the past few years. Features that were standard are disappearing being replaced by much more elaborate procedures in the name of idiot friendliness. The OS is being marginalised by it's shell UI. Not more computers, just appliances.
I am starting to miss Microsoft. And that is not a good thing.
Titanic sank because of hard a starboard. The captain made the correct choice of all back.
Unfortunately it does break. A lot.
Between pushing its touch UI changes to mice users, internal flash problems, memory leaks and general crash oh snap happy behavior, it has mostly become unusable for me. Still looking for a replacement..
Unfortunately for us, and very fortunately for our tracking overlords, the user accessible battery is dangerously close to becoming a sabre toothed tiger.
I am almost certain that they will be completely extinct in phones with this chip.
Welcome to the future, where more tech that you own is used against you than is working for you.
I am also looking for a pricelist. Since shark jumping is so obvious lets transform
No point crying about past good times, lets innovate!
Let me just check my Mayan calendar...
Oh yes, there it is.
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
