About Me

- Name: Nigel Fernandes
- Location: Panjim, Goa, India
Crazy, dancing, programming, Goan.. I'm a computer geek and proud to be one. I program in Java, Ruby and .Net, PHP, Javascript. A lot of my recent work has been about CSS and UI design practices for large scale websites and Agile teams. I still while away hours dreaming up a web startup.
Make millions: Design a better laptop.
Friday, September 4, 2009
There's millions to be made. All you have you have to do is design a laptop that can be used lying down.Nearly every developer, student and crazy technologist, I have ever met has confessed to using a laptop in bed, whilst lying down, or laying on their side/front.
If you've done this, you know how lousy the current "L" shaped laptops can be in such a scenario. Yes you have tried different stands, and weird pipe combos, crazy straps and even touch screens. Nothing has worked.
I'm convinced that I work/relax/read in this position nearly half my life. As computing and the internet invade our lives, the person or company who cracks this is going to make millions.
Ergonomic lying down computing is the thing. Ergolyputing(tm). I'm going to try :-)
