3 Prototypes From HP, In Outline

tekgoblin writes "Since the recent HP buyout of PALM we have been waiting for what HP may have in store for us. Well HP's CTO Phil McKinney has tweeted some pictures of 3 new devices that could be released in the near future." Note: the pictures' most relevant bits are blacked out with the subtlety of an expurgated FBI document, but they have me curious, especially about the wrist-worn device.

Those are awesome..

..designer frames. The black boxes.. eh..

Maybe the featured device is a printer that automatically obfuscates any important details!

If that's their new product they'll sell a million of them to governments around the world ;-)

No enhance??

I'm sure CSI could show us what was there... they can even show us encrypted IPs! ENHANCE!!

It's Sunday. This is just the Slashdot way of saying that this is an open thread and you can talk about whatever you want since the entire story is offtopic.

So I was thinking, tritium-deuterium fusion is soo overrated. Proton-boron fusion is where it's at.

Quick...someone zoom in on the reflections in the monitor and enhance!

Oh, I thought HP was buying Amazon.

Oh look, a [REDACTED]

[MrEricSir]

Wow, that's incredible! I have a [REDACTED] but it doesn't run [REDACTED] operating system, nor does it have [REDACTED] feature!

I can't wait to see what [REDACTED] HP comes out with next!

[burisch_research]

Absolutely. But the ideal of aneurotic fusion isn't quite with us yet. What I want to know is, why isn't anyone investing heavily in IEC fusion?!

It's a new type of GUI interface!

[erroneus]

I hadn't considered that possibility. However, with the right attachments, it could also be used as a screwdriver and to open cans and bottles.

[fermion]

I going to do this next time I am asking for venture capital. Take a picture of an iphone, an ipad, and lg watch phone, black out the details, and say I have new cool devices that will take over the market.

Take that, CERN!

[Sean_Inconsequential]

In other news, HP has beaten CERN in the race to create miniature black holes.

Well you aren't supposed to actually read it.

It's actually an ad for a new reality show from the makers of 16 and pregnant. You won't be able to tear yourself away from the trainwreck that unfolds as tech companies make ever more desperate attempts to take attention away from apple.

Naw, don't you know? You can get a lot more reflections off the eyes than off the monitor. Zoom in on the eyes, extrapolate the reflection and enhance that!

Pfft...real techs go to the source and scan the retinas
