With a tiny little tweak to the firmware, it could be always-on. With the seven far-field microphones it would be a very nice audio surveillance device indeed. No thanks.

NERVA was fine if you didn't start it up until you were in LEO and took care to avoid any trajectories that might involve Earth reentry. But even for manned flight outside the atmosphere, shielding was an issue and servicing it was pre

Bandwidth costs money, correct? I wonder if for someone with zillions of small HTTP requests (Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc) these costs might be recoverable somehow.

I've seen a lot of these headers on traffic that has no business having these headers (internal app traffic to a non-public-facing server) EDIT: On the one server I sampled, they're included in approx. 10% of requests (mostly An

I'm using RoboVM for production apps, which uses LLVM and the Android runtime to compile Java into native iOS apps. Also binds easily to Objective-C frameworks (and the libGDX game framework). http://www.robovm.com/

You might also take a look at inkle's 80 Days ( http://www.inklestudios.com/80days/ ) to see how I.F. has evolved on mobile devices. Warning: There are a few illustrations, but not too many.

Is this a new version? I took a look at this a few weeks ago and I don't remember any of this doc. I don't see a version ID anywhere on the website either (at least for Android).
