Don't you DARE Put Your Feet Up.

As much as I adore the idea of this high-tech coffee table from HP, it would die quickly in our house. Here at Casa McW, the point of coffee tables is to have someplace to put your feet, the mail, and various beverages. Out coffee table is never empty. I can imagine that the high tech version would just sigh and stop working the 500th time someone accidentally set a hot mug of coffee on it, or used it as a catch-all for some crafty project involving sawdust or little slivers of plastic (both have happened to ours).

Nonetheless, it would be ever-so-keen to be able to gather around to play games or look at a map, watch a movie or just browse the web, etc. I just know that it would end up awkwardly tilted on its side because the "looking down from above" thing may be very Star Trek, but it's not at all practical.

I like that the Mp3 player totally looks like a coaster! A coaster of PURE TECHNOLOGY.
