My dream office would be a Swiss chalet at the foot of a mountain. Multiple giant roaring fireplaces going 24/7. Ski in ski out. Girls in Bavarian outfits serving Oktoberfest beer and food. Backbone Internet speeds. 27" iMacs all around with matte screens and SSD's. Treadmill desks. Weightroom, sauna, soaking tub, raquetball, basketball court, full time Swedish masseuse. Banksy tags outside. Old masters and some crazy art from some tag artist friends inside. A Newfoundland that hangs out. No conference rooms. Giant whiteboards that slide up and down like they had in college. Sound proof meditation room. Those Red leather chairs they use on stage at allthingsD. Aston Martin fleet. Ridiculous gun room. Huge bbq, smoker on the rooftop. Taco truck outside. Automated laundry service. Machine shop with 5 axis CNC machines and 3d printers. I don't know where that came from... seams prudent.

Have you considered a career as a James Bond antagonist?

  Yes but we will antagonize out of touch, established companies with sharks fitted with lasers while making better software/hardware. And have perennially dominating Formula 1 team.

    You can actually do better by selling software and hardware infrastructure to other evil geniuses working to antagonized (er... disrupt) established companies.

* Full-immersion display and prototyping CAVE / bubble * Various art robots. One would greet me with "Home again, home again, jiggedy-jig. Hello, J.A." * Tennis court * Machine shop * Personal SCUBA tank with space-station truss mockup and Russian Orlan space suit / dive suit. OR * personal submarine / office OR * I could just get back to work, in my office adjoining the laundry room. Time to replace the fluorescent bulb. I can see it flickering. Haven't had to squash any centipedes yet this week.

Why matte screens?
- wyclif 16y ago
  Probably because they're less reflective and reduce eye strain.

    Thanks for the answer. Despite what the person downvoting my comment may think, it was a sincere question, not an attempt to troll. I have recently ordered a new macbook pro, and had to make a choice between matte and glossy, so I had a genuine interest in the answer.
