Meet The Ergopod: Goodbye Effort, Hello Bedsores!
Niero over at Destructoid did up this photo of this workstation for the disabled, called the Ergopod, which is currently being hailed (only half jokingly, I think) as the laziest possible way to play the most addictive game since Adam met Adam's right hand: World of Warcraft.
But truthfully, who hasn't lain there, in one's own dimly-lit den of iniquity, relishing a post-coital or post-prandial doze, only to feel the sudden need to check one's email, IM, read the latest news on GayGamer.net or even, perchance, to play a little game of some sort? The times I've wished a computer would drop from my ceiling (stopping inches above my head, of course) are as numerous as the times I've wished a man or six would materialize from my mattress. So far, I've had to get off my butt and get each for myself. Boo.
But for a measly $4,000 you can hook up a frighteningly heavy-looking computer and ergonomically elevated mouse/keyboard that will hang suspended above your frail-boned pasty body and allow you to interface with the Borg...I mean the Matrix...I mean porn, WoW, whatever.
Or, as Niero points out...you could buy a freaking laptop.

I was gonna suggest the laptop too... I'm using one right now. Its great when you are sick, or maybe a sin when you are sick. Depends.
Wow. I don't know whether to laugh or e-mail my WoW addicted friends the article.
You ever drive behind a truck of something and think that just about any second that something is going to fly off and hit your car? That's what this is...times ten.
i love the tagline about the handgun. sums it all up, really.
