    Hey, Bro! HP is launching some gnarly teen PCs and they’ll be cold lamping in the house with sexy new designs.

    Ameer Karim, directory of HP’s future and innovations group, announced the new line at a Teens and Tech conference. He said they used a group of teens to help them design the PCs from the ground up, adding cool features like an abstinence sensor and a soda shop locator.

    “We’ve used this teen council to help us with everything from the design of the products, the user interface and the box design, even including how the Web site will look,” Karim said on a panel of executives talking about marketing to the younger generation.

    Note: Do not look for “teen” on Google with SafeSearch turned off. Unless you want to.
