Iran’s nuclear efforts have been more than a bit of a threat, and with that, US and Israel joined forces to create their own weaponry, Stuxnet. Stuxnet is a computer worm that was discovered in June 2010 to slow Iran’s nuclear efforts. After copies of the worm leaked, it was available on the internet in late 2010, early 2011. Therefore, intelligence agencies in the US and Israel sought out new targets that could further slow Iran’s progress down.

It even has a curve to it. It’s called the BendDesk. By utilizing two projectors, three cameras, and a few IR-LEDs, the BendDesk can interpret touch and manipulation on a surface that is reminiscent of a touch-based screen on a desktop operating system.

What’s the problem with netbooks and other portable devices these days? For starters, you can’t type on them unless you have the hands of a five-year-old. Sadly, many of us are not blessed with small hands. That said, the iWEB 2.0 Laptop Concept would laugh at all those other laptops that try to serve you a tiny keyboard.
