One thing that none of these comparisons ever seem to mention is the area of question in contrast to the entire United States. South Korea is slightly larger than Indiana. So i bet we could reach this density and saturation with 11 billion if we focused on Indiana (in persepctive).
Just wanted to point this out since it is relevant.
The computer in each Mars Exploration Rover runs with a 32-bit Rad 6000 microprocessor, a radiation-hardened version of the PowerPC chip used in some models of Macintosh computers, operating at a speed of 20 million instructions per second. Onboard memory includes 128 megabytes of random access memory, augmented by 256 megabytes of flash memory and smaller amounts of other non-volatile memory, which allows the system to retain data even without power.

Sound Farmiliar?!
Did no one read Adromeda Strain?!
Lets hope WildFire is there when you need it!:)

So you want to hack a Tivo huh?.....
well here is your chance to get ahold of a $199 Tivo to hack on....
Web on over to the Tivo Underground AVS Forum for the details:
I would suggest you use your Tivo for a few weeks before you hack it (to break it in).
Take some time to get a feel for it before you "crack the hood":-)....
Enjoy!

First of all.....
This whole story should be marked Redundant.......
Tivo Hacking is nothing new, Slashdot it recycling old news articles, man - what is with this place lately?!
A quick search of "Tivo + Hacking" found the following on slashdot (the June 22nd article is nearly a duplicate of this current one) *sigh*:

Tivo Hacking? by Cliff on Monday April 24, @09:32AM EDT
I own a Tivo and LOVE it! I did not really truely understand nor appreciate the full benefit and goodness a Tivo can provide until I owned one myself (for nearly a year now). I would not want to watch TV again without it.
Buy one (*buy from a place that has a money back guarantee - I think Tivo may have a 30 day MBG) and see for yourself.
Look folks, I am by not means an expert on anything, BUT I did attend WWDC 2000 and have DP4. Being a registered developer I have an upfront bias towards Apple, so excuse me if this is not a flame against them.
1) Mac OS is a WORK IN PROGRESS. Don't loose sight of that - when you read a RUMOR on something considere the sources -- also jumping to conclusions is beneficial to no one and only serves to futher confuse the issues and facts.
2) MacOS X is built on BSD. Apple took BSD and build a "Darwin", a new BSD variant. This is why is is opensourced.
Atop Darwin, you have Quartz (2D Graphics), Open GL, Clasic/Carbon, Cocoa, java, Aqua, etc
3) Terminal, the interface to the MacOS X command line, etc will be there for the "l33t" users who want them, BUT Apple strongly expresses that a no time shall the user ever be REQUIRED to interact with the low lever command line interfaces of MacOS X. So what does the mean?
This means, that Apple does not want me and other developers to expose that level to the end user in our programs. This is a HI (Human Interface) guidline. I could write an app that is fully command line based and sell it if I wanted to. The command will stay. All of BSD will be there and what you don't have you can download and compile till you puke your guts out.
4) Apple is even building their own command line tools -- there are tools to compile applescript at the command line, and even the new project Builder is a GUI to gcc, gdb, jdk, etc -- so all that kewl BSD underpinning is being leveraged by a great GUI.
Basically alot of the kewl AQUA stuff is built atop a unix command line util.
5) AQUA is a Work in Progress. I attended the Aqua Feedback Forum at WWDC 2000 and let me tell you that ALOT OF DEVELOPERS had ALOT to say about what they did and did not like in DP4. I would fully expect either DP5 (if they make a DP5) or the public beta to have alot of these suggestions in place.
They were VERY interested in the feed back, it was video taped, and there was an Apple Rep feverously typing notes into his powerbook.
Of the record alot of the Apple developers said they are listening and working on all suggestions. Just make sure they are sent to Apple.
For example- complains, suggestions, etc for the MacOS X Human Interface (AQUA) should go to:
HI@apple.com
Send them email -- don't rant about it in a public forum. Apple may or may not read it.
Can you actually expect them to spend hours trolling the net for suggestions and feedback!?
6) between now and the PUBLIC beta is the time the give Apple Feedback. When they release the public beta you will have EVERY oppertunity to give them feedback on what you like and do not like. If you fail to then you have no reason to complain.
It is much like you complaining that George W Bush is elected president, when you did not even go out and vote.
[btw i hate both Gore and Bush, but I trust Bush less than Gore]
7) Apple told every developer over and over in session after session to GIVE FEEDBACK TO APPLE. If WE (developers) do not give them feed back we are just bitching to the wrong folks. We need to tell THEM - NOT/., etc.
8) I would suspect that Intel / Window users might have pleasant surprises in store for them after MacOS X is shipped to consumers.
You see, MacOS X could be ported to other processors. Once the Darwin level is ported to intel, most of the remaining higher level items (the rest of MacOS X) would follow with relative ease.
9) I would suggest those of you who want to see MacOS X get ahold of a someone who has it -- I am sure you can find a Mac user with MacOS X lurking around somewhere.
Sit down, open a terminal window, download something GNU and try to gmake, gcc, etc it.
10) Get involved in the MacOS X Public when it comes out -- and remember to give Feedback, Feedback, Feedback.

With such a Hybrid you would have an "x"-box
that is reporting back to MS.
They would know what you:
watch (tv / dvd's)
play (xbox)
do (browse)
say (chat)
think (email)
hack (mod chips)
not something I would want to give to one company
with such a marred track record as it is.
make sure to read that TOS and EULA.
- init 6
no it is not, that "4:07" clock is a clock icon fpr xclock, not a clock.

For those of you who want to know more about Tivo go here:
http://www.tivo.com/
and here:
http://www.avsforum.com/ubbcgitivo/Ultimate.cgi
You will find alot more useful information at these places than on /. [And that includes HACKING it]
Enjoy!
As much as it sounds "kewl" -- one must realize that appleinsider.com is a RUMOR site and sometimes is fed mis-information.
They also report "Apple May Illuminate Portable Keyboards". I will belive it when I see it.
I wish /. would not post rumors and stick to news and substance.
thanks for your time.
And READ THIS PDF
This is the Same Manual that was handed out in printed form with MacOS X DP4 at WWDC to developers.
It is a GREAT read for those of you who have a clue -- or want one ;-)
