Posted 30 Jul 2008 · Report post The negative here is that this is one of those chairs where, once you sit in it, you never ever get out. The positive is that at 40 grand most of us aren't going to experience that problem. They should try to make it look a little less like a dentist's chair, though.

Posted 30 Jul 2008 · Report post And we draw ever closer to the elusive dream of a Barcalounger in the center of a domed room with an IMAX ceiling acting as the monitor for a computer that responds to eye movement. A little intravenous feeding, a couple or three...er... let's call 'em "bodily relief attachments," a built-in shower with robotic scrubbing, and seven fight-to-the-death Roombas just for the fun of it and you'd never have to move again.All the technology exists, it's just a matter of getting it all into the same place.
