Biodegradable computer. Lots of jokes to be made about forced obsolescence… But in all if you can make it without petroleum stuffs, Yahoo!
Whats the stock symbol?
Every time my computer gets hot is starts popping. The universal symbol for bio-plastics should be a corn cob with an electrical cord attached.
Two thumbs up! Anything that makes us less dependent on oil is good.
Good video, John.
hhmmm wonder what kind or OS kernel you can run on it?……
Does it actually use less oil to produce? What about the by-products? Just because the plastic is made from corn, doesn’t mean it’s better for the environment.
The real question would be, is it selling for more or less than a comparable computer without the bioplastic?
Bioplastic made from food is as bad as fuel made from food; it drives up grain prices and -starves people to death-. Not to mention that it encourages less diversity in farming, which is the wrong direction to be heading in.
fuel made from food!

They discontinued the 100% corn based laptop because it was “sending the wrong message”? That doesn’t make sense what so ever.
Anything to get us less reliable on oil!
