I’ve seen aspoke doing the rounds of the blogs. It started in the Alpha Blogger camp with Scoble et al, and it’s now doing the rounds of the little fishes.
Express your individualism. Buy some vinyl stickers for the top of your laptop.
There? Do you feel as if your inner soul is now bared? No, I didn’t think so. The problem is that this is essentially tarting up some butt ugly laptops, the proverbial dressing of mutton as lamb.
Problem is that this idea isn’t original and that makes it uncool. Everyone remember the Powerbook 1400? It shipped with a replacement part for it’s casing that was clear – meaning you could slip some art, or one of the pre-supplied templates, under it and have a stylish machine. It meant you could have some striking designs and the design wouldn’t wear and tear because it was under the case!
But sure. Who am I to be a snob. We’re talking about people who buy laptops which have stickers on the palm rests.
