Anytime anybody says anything and takes it back, or recalls a memory with a bit of fluff, or withholds facts about what they did with their girlfriend last night, I'm gonna call them a First Amendment Hater, a lover of Censorship, and make those all so creative references to BigBrother.

@ Boingboing: Handled poorly, but right.

As an "old camera" collector I must say:
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

But those nice clean cuts are pretty too.

Still, that's pretty cool.

The children of the future have lost perspective!

As it's been said, steampunk is using the aesthetic or 'ideals' of a specific time, and appropriating them to technology which has since been invented.

The aesthetic for this is not Victorian, it's more World War era (post-Victorian). the "-punk" style for this time period is usually called "Dieselpunk". (Think Rockets, Atoms, and glam-Nazis)

That said, the '-punk' suffix is thrown around quite a bit, which mystifies me. It's attempting to describe a gritty, rough, perhaps dystopian world. This piece, and many others do nothing to provoke this imagery. They instead have a clean lined, ordered charm to them. This computer should be called "AristoSteam", if we want to make genres on the spot.
