Goddam corporate theives co-opting the underground methods of digital
vandalism.  Once again a major corporation steals the methods of the
radicals in order to subvert their significance and increase their profits!
How could they :) ?

On a slightly more serious note, I hope to see a laptop performance that
uses a laptop facing the audience.  You could affix a guitar strap to it,
turn it around, and use the keyboard to trigger sounds and images on the
screen.  It would be like those great 80's keyboards (like
http://www.keyboardmuseum.org/pic/r/rol/AX-1.jpg ) that allowed the fusion
keyboardist to step out from behind the keyboards, and join the guitarist
in a solo duel.  It would be cool.  You could step up to the front of the
stage, and high-five your adoring fans, and kiss the pretty girls.  You do
things like hit the "esc" key, and the computer would produce a crazy
arpeggiated sequence, and it wouuld be like when eddie van halen is doing
rad hammer-ons so the solo keeps going, but he can raise his pick hand in a
fist or devil sign.
