I am amazed that most digital watches still use the same crappy seven-segment LED-displays from thirty years ago. I've look in vain for more attractive numerals, e.g. Times-Romain. Even the high-end digital watches (over $100) use crappy seven-segment numbers.
If variable names have been left int he jars, you may be able to dissamble so that you can start add your own classes.
I havent coded for the Android yet. But was under the impression it used a "custom" form of Java, mainly special multi-process JVM.
A lot of this depends on how timely a given probe team makes the data available on the net. For example, earlier this year hobbyists measured out of ring plane bumps on Saturns rings during Saturn's vernal equinox. Then the rings were edge-on to the Sun and tiny out-of-plane excursions cast measurable shadows on the reset of the ring.
A counter-example the Kepler project. They are NOT putting raw data on the web yet for the public to anyalyze. They probably have a private website somewhere with the data.
First you got to migrate it it to humans.
There there several levels of testing before its even allowed ver much in humans in the US.
Sometimes things will be available abroad before the US if you are lucky. Some spine-damaged patients already try things in Israel and China based on stem cells. but not available in US.
Smart phones have the richest sensory interfaces of any computer system in common use- (1) microphone, (2) speaker, (3) camera, (4) video display, (5) keyboard, (6) text, (7) touch-sensitive "skin", etc. You could have a giant exploded mockup of the different parts of a cellphone. You'd demonstrate the signal paths and conversions: analog(graph) -> digital(tesselation) -> RF signal and reverse. I'd also include the hidden guts of the cellphone- (8) CPU, (9) magnetic memory, (10) RF antenna, etc.
If I had infinite resources and great carpentry skills, maybe I'd build a physical mockup of the parts of an exploded cellphone. However, with the rate phones are evolving today, that mockup would be obselete before it is finished. Instead I might assemble ten or so 40" HDTVs together on a wall. Each TV would be dedicated to explaining the function of one of the sensory or gut items mentioned in the previous paragraph. I would provide a multiple views of the item perhaps interactively accessed and/or a sequenced presentation. For example consider the microphone HDTV. Views might include the (1) human analog ( large mouth ), (2) external picture on actual cellphone, (3) an cross-section diagram of an ideal microphone, (4) a visualization of sound, (5) an analog graph of sound, (6) a tesselated digital representation of sound. Then the sound path in the cell phone would be illustrated by a string of blue lights connecting all the relevant TVs together- the microphone to the CPU to the antennas to the speaker, etc. Other subsystems such as video, text, etc. would have other TVs and different coloured light paths.
The goal would be to keep the context rich, tangible, and simple.
I had a period of time between school and the rise of blogging where I didn't write as much. And I guess my writing skills languished. I think they've improved now. I probably dont write long essays or papers as well because I haven't been doing that in a long time.
I just watched a biography of Condi Rice where her father said she had to be "twice as good" as white people to get ahead of them. When they visited the White House as a girl she got the idea maybe she could work there someday.
P.S. The documentary was favorable about her early years, but brutal about her Bush service.
The space-ship consoles show CAD-drawings the ship aligning with landing pads. Also the astronauts debugging the supposedly broker communication module used graphics. Only these was faked with drafted animation cells because computer graphics wasnt advanced enough in the 1960s to this. There were only osilliscope vector graphics then. But Kubrick and advisers like Minsky were anticipating better graphics in the future.
Every "revolutionary" new computer design has been called the next step to an electronic brain: the original eniacs in the 1940s, widrows neural networks in the 1960s, Deep Blue chess computer in the 1980s and so on.
The apocalypists will just choose another date for the end of the world then a few more years into the future. They've been doing this for centuries.
Astronomers have determined there were two Thursday seders during Pilate's governorship. This date is the favored one. Then the millennialists can add an even 2000 years to that for the end of the world.
This will oblivate a massive reprogramming effort to fix the UNIX clock which runs out of bits four years later.
Under western law. The reason that governments want their cut of taxes eventually. A "trust" is a legal mechanism for the non-living (guardianships, wills foundations, corporations, etc.) to hold property. But there is needs to be a living beneficiary or a limited extensions (typically 30 years) beyond those currently alive, i.e your "great" relatives. A John Rockefellor or Joe Kennedy could not control the behavior of their descendents indefinately unless each generation agrees to regenerate the trust.
If each core consumes 10 watts, which is small for an Intel system, you are really talking about a gigawatt then. Fortunately, this is a the same problem as mobile computing, and innovation is converging to solve both.
Helium-3 is used for absolute-zero experiments and nuclear material detectors, both which have been increasing rapidly. Its is mainly produced as a byproduct of nuclear weapons product, which has been on the downswing. The net result are shortages and massive price increases.
I tried both googling and binging for the online GO manual so I could analyse its properties. It was probably recently released and hasnt acquired many links yet. Plus GO is a common junk word.
I find it ironic that I cant sucessfully use google to find something at google.

We've been warned.
Never waded through so much unedited, infantile crap in my life.
Unfortunately I dont think this will happen.

It drives me crazy to see how long it takes for a page to flip

We get the most extreme 'end-of-world' slashdot posts from the UK.
I'm sure more in Chrome will appear in upcoming months. But MS is hardly blameless in criticising another another company's security.
In the long runt his constant bitching will make both products stronger.
Not to mention the impending spector of "dimensionalization" which can convert old flat movies into 3D with variable success.
Parts of "Tron" were like that too. I wonder how the remake is going?

They know the taxes to the sub-zipcode. It was one of the first accomplishments of internet era.
They are very good at gathering all the information about a technology they can- both above board and below board. The more, the merrier to me.
Their program is very low key with a test every three years. This is an order of magnitude less effort than the space shuttle or Soyez.

The fad of blood type matching in Japan seems odd to me. But it sounds like a precursor of genetic matching.
Which is more like $120K if you annualized for weeks off. I am not crying for them.
