Ever thought, “Man I wish I had that on tape!” When everybody is laughing themselves to tears, Momenta has already captured the previous 5 minutes from its rolling buffer and continues to record until you tell it to stop. Triggered by increased heart rate, it captures those hilarious or exciting moments that are usually lost forever. Whether it’s an exciting sports experience, a funny social scene, the scene of an accident, etc. you can capture it and share it.
Using the new light-weight Microsoft operating system, SLIM, this PC travels with you effortlessly. The projected touch-gesture interface allows you to interact with your software wherever you are without requiring interface peripherals but its wide-coverage 700 MHz WiFi wireless allows both connection to the web and to performance enhancing peripherals.”

OK, I finally lost it when I read Dave Winer’s post re: Twitter premium:
Jason Calacanis is known for stimulating interesting discussion. Today is no different.
He says he’d pay $100 a year for a Twitter that was always fast, almost always up, and had some additional features.
I sent Jason a private email which I’ll now repeat here.
Just FYI, because of their API, you don’t really need Ev and Biz to do that for you. A bunch of us could pool resources and set up a server of our own, and peer with Twitter’s. If Twitter is down it would just queue up the messages, in the meantime, anyone who was on the premium system would see the messages immediately.
Look: forget Twitter. It has a bunch of users, that’s about it. How to build twitter:
That’s about it. And it has a publish and subscribe architecture built in, rather than all these crazy desktop apps that constantly poll the Twitter mothership. That’s it. It’s simple.
“Peering with Twitter”. WTH. Built into the XMPP protocol. It’s a standard. Works with lots of other things already.
My only explanation for the Twitter craze is that North Americans are still enamored of anything that can do the tiniest bit of mobile integration. Yes, Twitter has managed to scale and spend many thousands of dollars paying for SMS gateways. Great! Maybe if they had built a front end on top of Jabber, they would have gotten there faster…
