Hardware, Embedded Systems I've often wondered why computers - be it laptops or desktop - are so relatively monolithic. Wouldn't it make much more sense to have a whole cluster of very tiny individual computers, all with their own tiny processor, RAM, data storage, and serial ports, which power up when needed and are easily replaced when broken? Well, Liquidware thought so too, and came up with the Illuminato X Machina.

No benchmarking has been done. No workable OS. No real theoretical mathematical framework explaining why it would be better.

Don't get me wrong its still cool as a hobby, but for heavens sake let the thing boot, before you claim its the second coming of sliced bread.
