[QUOTE=science_man_88;235672]pixels ?, silicon chips ? this is just my thoughts to mini geeks thoughts not a question.[/QUOTE]

if you mean this post the one that doesn't display an image per se is the silicon chips.

You ain't getting any more out of me for free. If anyone wants more information the price is one question. :wink:

Mini-Geek 2010-11-05 16:30

18) Is it, or does it contain, some kind of processor (CPU, GPU, whatever)?

lavalamp 2010-11-05 16:34

Bearing in mind that processors can quite happily store data on their own (in internal registers and various cache levels), do you want to burn a question this way?

No, I don't. Question retracted.
Thanks for the help. :smile:
[QUOTE=lavalamp;235691]So far science_man_88 has got the closest, one of his suggestions flirted heavily with the answer.[/QUOTE]
Here are all of sm88's suggestion-ish posts so far:
[QUOTE=science_man_88;235354]1)is it box shaped ?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=science_man_88;235437]"electronic" man made minerals -food -entertainment -visual

About 114,000 results (0.06 seconds) for google.ca

72 results maybe it's one on there.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=science_man_88;235440]okay "electronic" man made minerals -food -entertainment -visual +"multiple brands" gave 119 results on google.com wonder what on wikipedia lol none well that's no help lol. I'll try rearranging the terms sometimes that helps.

+"multiple brands" "electronic" man made minerals -food -entertainment -visual gave 107 results getting closer.

for the previous search but in yahoo I only get 4 results lol.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=science_man_88;235444]okay so back up to 462 results and 913 for my latest search without the word minerals,for google.com and [url]http://ca.search.yahoo.com[/url] respectively.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=science_man_88;235495]11) is it listed at [url]http://www.bestcrystals.com/manmade.html[/url] ?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=science_man_88;235672]pixels ?, silicon chips ? this is just my thoughts to mini geeks thoughts not a question.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=science_man_88;235675]uncwilly I have batteries in my mouse it's a wireless mouse. so it can be a mouse and battery powered.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=science_man_88;235681]well google isn't any help I made another search down to 4 results lol[/QUOTE]
So, basically, these are what lavalamp may have possibly been referring to:
box shaped (conflicts with Q1)
finding something by searching google for the terms (good luck...)
pixels (conflicts with Q7)
silicon chips (conflicts with Q17)
wireless mouse (conflicts with Q13)
As you can see, none of these could be the answer, but which of these may have been the one to flirt heavily with the answer? I really don't know...

Hehe, I know what it is. But I gotta wait until my 24 hours. :cry:

[spoiler]What? You think I'd put in here? Not likely[/spoiler]

[spoiler]What? You think I'd put in here? Not likely[/spoiler][/QUOTE]

well the only things that comes to mind that you can attach to a computer that doesn't contain controls or a display are webcams, or portable hard-drives, but the hard-drives you can connect can look boxlike in fact i have one in that shape lol. and my camera makes noise when it moves.
the one thing my guesses all flirt with is system parts.

Well, you could help the rest of us out, but in this case you may want to claim the win, so if so you do need to wait.

[QUOTE=Mini-Geek;235709]Well, you could help the rest of us out, but in this case you may want to claim the win, so if so you do need to wait.[/QUOTE]

min geek i think my hard part is if it can connect to a compute but can't store data itself then it shouldn't have a chip in it what can you attach to a computer with no processor that doesn't appear to be a connection cable?

retina 2010-11-05 18:37

[QUOTE=Mini-Geek;235709]Well, you could help the rest of us out, but in this case you may want to claim the win, so if so you do need to wait.[/QUOTE]Yeah, I go for the win, of course, it is my evil nature. :razz:

But the rest of you still have a few hours. :furious: :drama:

lavalamp 2010-11-05 18:40

Assuming you're right retina. :wink:

PM me if you'd like to know before tomorrow some time.
