Not. To make this work requires supercooling (supply of liquid nitrogen) and a buried track to allow the electromagnetism to work. Look at the height of the board from the ground! Just skate.
So how do you get this thing to turn? It would seem that the only way to increase force in any direction is to lower the distance between the two repelling magnets, which means that you would have to lean right in order to move left, and lean left to move right and so on, not to mention non-uniform lift that you get with a skateboard. It really seems like this whole thing isn't really feasible for use on anything besides tracks, because otherwise you'd need thrusters or some kind of out-of-system (beyond operator and board) impetus in order to move it in a particular direction (like the embankments in the video). The fact that they've made a clearly rideable board that seems to be relatively stable is amazing, though it doesn't seem like mag-lev or even quantum-lev are gonna work for this, so I suppose we'll just have to wait for anti-grav rocket boards in order to be able to do what Marty McFly does...
I saw a tumblr post where someone made a portable speaker system in an ammo can, and wondered if anyone made a pc case out of one. I was right. I might have to try something like this when I get a Raspberry Pi.
It doesn't look like there's any kind of cover for the graphics slot so it can't be great. Looking at my case, though, I don't think PCs are typically designed for high EM resistance.
In 1861, Line Town, New York seceded from the Union and was not readmitted until 1946. I don't know how reliable Knowledge Nuts is, but I've found reference to it in more reliable publications, however with less detail. Apparently until the recent controversy in South Carolina, they proudly ironically displayed the Confederate flag across town, with some places hanging signs that read "Last of the Rebels 1861-1946".

Edit - Bonus round.
Apparently iOS 9 is amazing.
This makes it dirty.
