As part of Microsoft's IDSA PC Design Competition, graphic designers and dreamers across the country are sending their ideas for next generation computers and peripherals to Microsoft to show off their talent, their ingenuity, and possibly a $10,000 grand prize. There are four categories for PC designs; personal productivity, entertainment, communication and mobility, and living and lifestyle, but only one winner from the four will be announced. The entries have been flowing in and can be viewed by anyone and voted on by anyone with a Microsoft .NET Passport account (or a hotmail account, by extension) and the entries range from the functional to the incredibly weird to the outright impossible.

One entry that caught my eye is the Pussy Cat PC, entered by Yanko Design. The Pussy Cat PC, according to the designer, is a "real mobile PC that implements A.I. robot and air refresher," glows at night, moves on its own, and can use facial recognition technology to recognize users and its owner, provide reminders, and do essentially everything else that a normal PC can do.
