Space Cube – the World's Smallest Linux PC
Barence writes "Meet the Space Cube — the world's smallest fully functional PC. Primarily designed for use in space, it somehow manages to cram a working PC with USB ports, card readers, audio outputs and proprietary interfaces into a tiny cube chassis measuring just two inches square. It runs a basic Linux front-end, which the blogger takes a look at, and there are some great photos of the device being loomed over by everyday objects like coffee mugs and cellphones. It has connections for controlling various electronics used by ESA, NASA and JAXA, but it will also apparently be for sale to the public soon, for use by amateur engineers and robotics clubs."
does it run... oh... it does? Awsome.
I mentioned tinker-toys once in a post - now I'm modded down for life.
...measure two inches square?

Dumbass, its a "Space Cube". It should be measured in the fourth dimension as 2 square inches/sec.

Imagine a beowulf cluster of these puppies! You might actually be able to run a GUI.
If someone says he and his monkey have nothing to hide, they almost certainly do.
