OLPC gets microwaved, molded into stunning piece of art
Posted in: laptop, netbook, on sale, OnSale, Today's Chili
We’ve seen quite a few a) laptops and b) masterpieces in our day, but it’s hard to recall the last time that we saw both in the same instance. Have a look at the object above, which is undoubtedly one of the most amazing pieces of laptop art this planet has ever had the pleasure of seeing. Kenny Irwin, known for his post-microwave creations, decided to zap one of the low-cost PCs and then mold it into the OLPCSlug while things were still gooey, all in the name of good publicity and charity. You see, the buyer of this lovely piece will see 80 percent of the proceeds head straight to OLPC, and given that it will also “help keep you safe from forest beasts of unimaginable size,” those currently situated in backwoods retreats have an extra reason to plunk down. The only problem? That $26,001 asking price. A can’t-miss demo video is after the break.
