    Can a 'minecrafter' explain a little more please? I know you get 1x1 blocks of wood/stone/etc. How do the pieces move? Are there simple on/off switches? Gunpowder + fire for wires?

    My main problem with Digg is it blew up largely because Rose got to shamelessly plug it on ScreenSavers. A LOT of ideas can succeed when you get to skip the whole network effect hurdle. I think he has some insightful thoughts once in a whil

    I'm waiting for the Asus UX31 to drop to about $700. Unless the new Pro/Airs with 2000 by 1500ish rez are closer to $1000 than $2000. They have a 1600x900 screen resolution. This is the most important spec for me. Everytime I see 1366x76
