USB Stick Contains Dual-Core Computer, Turns Any Screen Into an Android Station

[CaptainDishman]

not interested until they can get a 24 core in it

[Psyckers]

Assimulating anything for the greater good huh?

Awesome Yay for Linux power!!!!!

[de2010Souza]

i think i will just wait until i7 get into that!

[Deidyomega]

DO WANT! The "take over any device" part makes me think about how hacker I can go on this. If it supports ubuntu, backtrack should work as well... Do want...

[aklp08]

PLUG IT IN OR GTFO, ffs

[4iedemon]

what a crappy video...

[TheBrain1128]

Looking foward to get my hand on it.

[RandomPinoy09]

The only thing interesting here is his hair.

[bxkid69]

will it run crysis

[DivineDarknesss]

This. Is. A. Copy. of. the. raspberry. pi.

[patiencebear]

@DivineDarknesss No it's not. The Raspberry PI is bigger, has more input ports and runs Ubuntu and is really cheap. (Hopefully the PI comes out soon!)

I'd love to have both though :-)

[pro151a]

Too much talk. Too little demonstration. Fail, Fail, Fail!

[Smooky2009]

buy a dozen 

[steenkypeet]

I don't want to hear you talk you dumb fuck! Show us how it works, plug it in!

[laptopmag]

We will have one of these in our office next week to test on any device we like. We will post a video of it in use

[jpmcnown]

Is this the same bullshit company that claims to have a car running on hydrogen from water via electrolysis?

[MrIDoWhatever]

@jpmcnown Wait what? How is that even possible? They would need electricity to perform electrolysis in the first place... Strange company.

[shaneed]

Can someone explain me why i hate the reporter's face?

[lordtalon69]

That looks awesome I love the way the software works .... oh wait no you just fucking talked the whole time while wasting mine.

[TerabyteCancun]

Ya callate y conectaloooooo

[FileSpnR]

no demo?

[eth6706]

Insanity

[7600p36]

so how hot does that cotton candy get?

[E450AMD]

www_.geek.com/articles/games/g­ame-developer-david-braben-cre­ates-a-usb-stick-pc-for-25-201­1055/

[E450AMD]

Google Raspberry Pi similar product much cheaper www_._raspberrypi_._org/ (remove _ )

[sonofsteveaustin]

cotton candy and eat it?

its supposed to be  have your cake and eat it fatty!

[xbatusai]

And not a single demonstration was given that day...

[420bars]

Im Going To Forward This To Bill Gates

[aptimn]

Does it run Office?

[blazingeek]

raspberrypi. org

An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25

[MarkWeulink]

I WANT ONE!

[Shayd93]

This plus Ubuntu plus bluetooth keyboard/mouse equals awesome

[Phrostbitex]

@Shayd93 Why Ubuntu? More like Backtrack.

[Deco1789]

So, by pluging on a tv, how are we suposed to cicle trough screens, and stuff? what about the keyboard/touchscreen feature?

[xbatusai]

@Deco1789 bluetooth 

[Deco1789]

@xbatusai That's true, i haven't thought about it.

[zelodec]

BUT will it blend? thats the question.

[slap8899]

nice

[Klatschi75]

Was filmed in a cave. At first, learn to use a camera.

[VihLopes10]

Cadê a demonstração?

[Tito23p]

plug it in a f***** Screen!

[engineerdcet]

@Tito23p yes, ur right man

[frankie4you2013]

Welcome to modern times lol Endless marketing talk and no demonstration at all. It´s wasted time to watch this shit!

[rockapartie]

"power of a 2007 pc" is quite an exaggeration, since core2duos were state-of-the-art then... but nonetheless this is an awesome system

[cwtal]

Wow that was a whole lot of talk but no demonstration in all that time? WTF?

[nicman2011]

the facebook page for this company seems pretty dead.....i hope they come out with this product and dont fuck around with my hopes...

[Deefunkster]

i dont care how much it weighs and if its for my hous i dont give a fck how big it is

[GuyFromNebraska]

almost as good as a macbook air. wow

[foqsy]

outpoot

[ChocolateNuggetz]

Creapy guy...

[serginietor]

i'd show her cotton candy....

and my dick as well.

[90DegreesEnt]

fuck it norway, we have minecraft and spotify!

[proxx1988]

[ChristoPedro]

FUck... i wanna one of this

[Legionprisoner]

нифига не показали! я не верю и все это развод

[laxr5rs]

Thanks for the very strange ending.

[TheAbyrvalg666]

I am sure it will blend!

[matto8mati]

Dear santa...

[Xeophane]

if onle this have other usb port it will be perfect for usb hub for keyboard or mouse. i dont like bluetooth.

[midcoregamer]

can i play battlefield 3 in that?

[taiddan]

@midcoregamer

This video is a poor explanation of what this does. Basically, in the future you'll no longer have any computer towers or laptops in your home, only monitors. Think of this USB stick as a video card. What it does is access a "Cloud Computer" that holds all your data and performs all computing. The "Cloud computer" then sends data back to this USB device telling it what to display on the screen. Can it play BF3? If you've uploaded BF3 to the "cloud computer", then yes.

[mondjunge]

@taiddan you mean, that is the industries and secret service vision of the computing future ;)

My data belongs to me, and I am sure many people think the same way and even more if they start to think about cloud based computing now.

[91pranav]

@taiddan I personally dont think that the cloud is ever going to completely replace insite storage. The speeds offered by RAM is like in the Gbps range, which i dont think any mainstream net connection can provide in the near future, say some 10-15 years from now. i'll still need my PC or console to play good games IMHO.

[Christobanistan]

They really need a new spokesman. I zoned out immediately after he started talking.

P.S., a 2007 PC was way more powerful than a dual core 1.2GHz.

[gk3og]

@Christobanistan He didnt say 2007's STRONGEST COMPUTER, just said 2007 pc.

[Erde04]

why buy cotton candy when we can do the exact same thing with a regular usb and Linux software...

[Thakrulll]

@Erde04 It is not a operating system in a usb. It is a PC.

[savo1r]

the presenter chick is hot

[Superbustr]

No ONE Likes CLOUD COMPUTING!!! Don't let the tech companies take over you!

[ram25491]

I don't see the point of this device. I'd rather spend less than one tenth of its projected cost and use a pen drive version of linux instead. I don't see the difference.

[sinancetinkaya]

@ram25491 This is not just a usb stick, this is a full featured android computer! Plug it to a usb supported HDMI TV and enjoy your android.

[banditoxviii]

can i use this on my t.v that has a usb port?

[prakhyasridhama]

But the question is WILL IT BLEND?

[anarkistraeven]

Give me one with wired gigabit ethernet and I could use it as an HTPC together with Ubuntu and XBMC.

[sheebo84]

Lois griffin's voice in the background!!!

[Wonejox3]

So are you trying to say it is better the endless talking guy than the Cotton Candy?

[theds102]

does that guy have eyes?

[ic3kendee]

I WANT ONE FXI you can have my money

[ibnal3akida1]

I am the 10,000 liker :D

[Masowai]

@ibnal3akida1 Awesome Dude! In addition to that, you're the number 1 douchebag as well! Way to go!

[SankarAmeda]

they should have showed the demonstration if it was real

[puwei219]

you are kinding me

[BloodyIron]

Okay so not a single demonstration of the device, or any real explanation visually of how the fuck it actually connects to a monitor and receives power. I smell vapor.

[AlazarinMobius]

Nice...... definitely on my shopping list.

[igeekone]

At $99, this will be the perfect HTPC.

[sayrith]

this is surreal. from rooms to the palm of your hand.

[arghwtfffs]

Argh! So instead of seeing it demonstrated, we saw that chick eat?

[mlc871]

@arghwtfffs I'd rather see a chick eat than a demonstration. But I would have chosen a banana dipped in chocolate.

[end3rkid]

Why not a single demonstration?

[fooodhunter]

@end3rkid Pics or it didn't happen!

[labobo]

@end3rkid Maybe the device doesn't work ? They are getting the hype up to get more time to fix the device.

It's happened before. It could also be fake-ware. Time will tell if the company will disappears.

[toooffu]

Raspberry Pi project promises similar idea for $25. (naturally, much lover specs)

[bmw2go11]

@toooffu the raspberry pi is focused more towards development and use in a network as a thin client. the FXI usb thing showed in this video is capable of entirely replacing a htpc.

both are great for portable computing

[toooffu]

@bmw2go11 Agreed. I like both concepts, it would be fun if more people/companies "enter the game".

[oldlyswansea]

wow how much with that cost me ? ?

[laptopmag]

@oldlyswansea FXI hasn’t set pricing yet for the Cotton Candy, but expects it to cost considerably less than $200 per unit.

[nicman2011]

@laptopmag may i know where you found this info on pricing?

[JonnyBoy241]

@oldlyswansea

I heard 50-100$
