That's awesome...I can see the marketing now...haha...a Thunderstorm is brewing and it's in my computer...

I hope the applied technology is better than the article describes it; while it's cool in a geek sense, the article describes it as nothing more than a way to make air move, which makes it no better than today's fan coolers.
