Didnt Sony sponsor a Linux distribution for the PS3?
If so, that would go perfect with this laptop.



None.

He did, check out the links.

This is pretty awesome. I've idolized this guy ever since I saw him create a SNES Portable. I want one of those so bad. D:

Doesn't the whole plug it into the wall part eliminate the whole point of a laptop?

Does it say anywhere if it has a battery? I can't seem to find anything pointing either way, other than him plugging it in in the video (which is still inconclusive).

it does NOT have a battery, none of his wii/360/3602/ps3 laptops have had batteries as they would take up an enormous amount of room and would last about 5 minutes with the system, screen, and keyboard.

It's a bit more versatile than hauling your TV and ps3 around isnt it?

This is pretty nuts. Does this guy make money off doing these kinds of things? If not..he sure does have a lot of spare time. Hopefully he has a good career that uses these skills..

The point of the laptop was that you could have your PC anywhere you wanted. While it is more versatile, the lack of battery is disappointing.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
