The latest news is that since scientists were given the go ahead to start using human embryos for cloning a month or two back, we are now approaching the stage where the first human will be cloned in about 6 months time, if not sooner. (It was on the news last night).
Now, a human being is a pretty complicated thing, lots of nerves that have to be joined up, lots of complicated organs that have to function as a team, lots of veins and cells and stuff, as well of genes.
A console isn't. Every part and function is known. Every part and function has a defined place. Replace these simple parts with bio-parts (nanotechnology), and why not start growing your own consoles?
Now that the human genome has been fully mapped, we know roughly what does what in the human body and have the ability to 'tweak' a gene or two for optimal performance. You could do the same with a bio-console. Getting jagged edges to a graphic? Tweak. Getting noticable slowdown on multiplayer mode? Tweak.
Bio-consoles could offer this versatility. Wonder what you'd feed them on though?

I've got a garden spade that is more serious and groundbreaking than my original topic.
Yes, such a shame because it started off as such a serious and groundbreaking topic....
How about we just clone one of her for each of us?
And how come this topic degenerated faster than a Sega Saturn?

You could feed it on a sugar containing agar medium, although I fear this idea will never take off what with Biocomputer viruses and all that!
But then again you never know, if your bio computer got infected with the Anna Kornikova virus... then before you know it your computer would have turned into Anna Kornikova
....mmmmm....maybe it could work!

You have to be careful with that, you can get the innards too wet, and suffer a slipped disc.

I try a similar sort of thing with my computer.
I water it every day in the hope that I'll soon have a terrabyte.

D'you think they'd byte?
Processed peas?
Bugs?
