Not a Bad Idea:

You should die first, start out dead and get it out of the way.
Then you wake up in a nursing home, feeling better every day.
You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension.
When you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work 40 years
until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You drink alcohol, you party, you’re generally promiscuous and you get ready
for High School.
You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no
responsibilities, you become a baby.
Then, you spend your last 9 months floating
peacefully with luxuries like central heating, spa room service on tap, larger
quarter’s everyday.
And finally you finish off as an orgasm.

I have to agree with Juha on this one… This is not a bad idea for a life. But i remember the episode of Voyagers where this was the case…. and it didn’t seem as happy.

PC Consumes 8.5 Watts, Has No Moving Parts:
someone has taken that boatload of cash and decided to put together the Solo Computer, a roughly-hewn prototype of a power-sipping PC with no moving parts that needs just 8.5 watts of solar power to run. That’s a fraction of the roughly 300 watts sucked up by garden-variety PCs here in the energy-wasting First World.

This is closer to the technologies that the $100 computer needs, too bad it is $1200. However, as I’ve noted before technology is only one issue in computers for development and from my standpoint it is the smallest issue.
