I sincerely hope that no one follows your advice. The phone you point to might be a few bucks cheaper, but it has 1/2 the RAM, 1/2-1/4 internal storage, and while the MTK6589 performs surprisingly well for a Mediatek chip, it

I have one of the original (pre-nub) Nexus 4's and mine's slid off of desks/surfaces at least a dozen times. Somehow, the screen/back is still fine, but the plastic bezel looks and feels like it's been gnawed on by

It's apparently been better recently, but in the mid-2000s tower climbing was the most dangerous occupation in the US. In 2004 there were 10 deaths, w/ a death rate of 115.2/100K: http://www.wirelessestimator.com&#

For those that have never seen Adam Savage's TED talk on his prop-making, it's fascinating and well worth the 15 minutes of your time: http://www.ted.com/talks/adam_savage_s_obsessions.html I was particularly

Agreed that these are pretty low-level issues - even testing w/ a separate PCIe controller didn't help much. For routing and hackability I'd go w/ a Mikrotik RouterBoard, or for pure price/performance (and a really

As an "all-in-one" this looks appealing (although the Wandboard Quad is still probably a better deal once you factor in all the additional charges that CompuLab tends to add). If you're looking at something specifically for n

It's not really that that useful to talk about "ARM devices" as a class as they vary wildly in capabilities and this will lead you to make very misinformed, or in this case, totally wrong statements. The i.MX6 has a VPU that

You should take a closer look at Xilinx's tech docs (there are a lot): http://www.xilinx.com/products/silicon-devices/soc/zynq-7000... - it uses ARM AMBA for interconnect. FWIW, Parallella uses a very similar chip (ZYNQ7010 vs 7020) and l

A slightly more recent invention that I recall would be Jack Andraka's pancreatic cancer testing. Via Wikipedia[1]: "Andraka's sensor costs $0.03 (to compare to a $800 cost of a standard test[10]) and 10 tests can be performed per strip,

I'd definitely have to agree with the caveats having used App Script a fair bit w/ various Google Spreadsheets. The documentation is thin and you'll find lots of long-standing issues only through digging through various support/group thread

Looks like the Cubieboard has nominally better specs - twice the RAM and NAND), but a couple things worth noting if people are looking to do electronics-type hacking: * the Cubieboard comes w/ male headers for its I/O pins. This is a lot le

I have a bunch of these Linux ARM boards including the original beaglebone, rpi, pcduino, ODROID-X2 and a few others. Most of these have less than stellar IO and almost all are 10/100 only. The i.MX6-based Sabre Lite has gigE, although per

As others have mentioned, simple pulse oximeters are much cheaper ($20-50). But pulse oximeters w/ connectivity are generally more expensive. The Nonin 9560 Onyx 2 is probably the best known (BT 2.0) - the best price I could find online fo
