I find it interesting that the contributors work for semiconductor companies. I would've thought that something like this would be more likely to emerge from a team with a mathematics/CS/academic background more so than hardware. Perhaps

I personally have moved on to widescreen (16:10 1680x1050 being my favorite) due to the ability to split the screen in a editor|browser or editor|pdf configuration (or two-pane editing).

Perhaps I should've re-worded my previous comment because I did not mean to suggest that we abandon manned missions forever or that we try to experience space vicariously through robots. I'll elaborate. There is tremendous risk involved in

Is manned flight necessary anymore? I feel that a lot of design overhead is put into making a shuttle or space station safe and livable for humans. Why not focus on the main mission: to conduct research experiments. I know there is the rom

Is it mentioned anywhere that the actual planned pricing (after the product releases) will be $99? The "$99 Android console!" headlines are great for publicity, but I wouldn't be surprised if the actual product (if it ever goes on sale) mi
