You might have seen it before.

It's a pretty interesting concept. It'd need some getting used to, especially after years on windows, but it does look like it might work. And there's the added bonus of being able to confuse friends when they see you playing with it at speed.

Lol! That's neat! I've gotta get that instead of a new desktop... Except it looks like it would be really different and possibly not support some of my favorite programs... and it would over heat, plus how much RAM would you need for all that?

I honestly haven't a clue.

It looks like a concept program atm.

People who I've already shown it to can't see the useful side of it... but I suppose with having a really slow computer upstairs with hundreds of icons all grouped in horrible groups by the story they correspond to, well, I can see the good side of something like it.

I'd like to see it in use IRL, not just a video. And a constant single colour background could get kinda boring after a while.

Very neat toy. Initially, I wasn't very convinced about its usefulness, but the ability to quickly sort smaller selections of documents appears to be very nice.

More importantly however, who would name their kid Snehal Garg?

Snehal Garg... sure it's not a nickname? Lot's of people would use a nickname instead of a real name on things - like you'd use Chruser, and I'd use Lenny.

Either that, or he's from some kind of Norselandic Country.

No, it doesn't sound very Norse. Apparently Snehal is a common first name in India, supposedly taken from a hill named Snehal Shah. Would you name your kid after a hill?

Jk... Thinking about that device makes my head spin. It's like a PC and a DS in one.

My surname was originally a Hill. Then a farm. Then a town. Then a district. Then banned throughout Scotland because some King threw a paddy at being usurped. Cheeky bugger.

But naming someone directly after a Hill...

Hmmm. Pendle Smith. Cowpe Jones. Everest Higginbottom.

There's bound to be at least one person somewhere. I bet your bottom dollar that they're Japanese.
