Mechanical Tumor is the grossest computer accessory ever - May be useful
Brandon Davenport
Yes, this is exactly what you think this is, a nasty looking rubber tumor. And if no-one told me it was fake, I would be like "OMFG there is a tumor on that computer :O" but now that I know what it is and that it is fake (thank god) why was it even thought to make one of these nasty rubber nuggets.
Its the brainchild of Japanese interactive media artist Mio I-zawa, and this thing is flat-out disgusting. I mean, it's certainly well-made, but what the heck does it do? It measures the amount of work being loaded to your CPU. Yes my friends, that is what it does, but this story gets much more exciting!
When you start dragging windows around on your desktop, or watch a video (which puts a slight load on your CPU) the tumor gets bigger. Ok... But what if I render a 1080p video while playing Crysis. Then the tumor explodes and your computer gets jizzed by god knows what.
