If I buy a DVD, I dont buy it from sony, I buy it from walmart. Walmart bought it from a distributor and if life was only THAT simple the distributor bought it from another distributor, who bought it from the factory!
There are a couple exceptions, cad and electronics we got to use some old beaters, otherwise what we were thought about computers was that all these brand new powermac's were silly expensive and you are not to touch them, though they made a point to brag about how many they had in the library.
Now make them as cheap as mechanical drives, it shouldnt be as hard considering all the mechanical parts are gone and it doesnt take percision manufacturing
I would like to have a 250ish gig drive for the wifes computer, but its hard to justify loosing 10 gigs and paying 140$ more than I did for the mech drive
sure its not as slim or as light, it doesnt have as much battery life, but shit, its cost 40 bucks on ebay, why would I want to spend a pile of money on a obsolete computer no matter how sexy it was?
Seriously? 900 bucks for a 13 inch dell ultrabook? I got a 15.6 inch 2.5ghz i5 with twice the ram and a TB hard drive for 499$ at the dell refurb outlet for my mediocre work computer, and it has one scratch across the windows sticker on the bottom.
I have upgraded my video card twice this year alone, do you seriously expect me to jump though hoops of bullshit just to get my software running again? I own more than one game, and one song... douches
I would love to see you produce a arduino for less than three bucks for public sales
I think your being a bit idealistic, its all about quantity... chico spends 40$ making a crap arm tablet and sells tens of millions of them for a 10$ profit each, then you should be able to sell tens of thousands of arduino's for less than 3 bucks
electronics prices is a total quanties game, you buy one chip its 4 bucks, you buy 100 its slightly cheaper, you have a fab dedicating a significant portion of its line to just you its silly cheap.
how is giving them cake a proper reward for getting their job done, and picking up the slack from the flunkies down the hall who are eating the same cake?
no, just start reading and doing, especially today where you can get lego block modules, plug them in and slap some libraries together without knowing much of anything with just a click from one of the many overpriced hobby "maker" shops.
no you will not be an expert doing it that way, but its a way to dive in and see if you really want to, while learning a ton at the same time
android tablets are great when you want small computing power, not so much when you need to interface with the physical world. for example I am working on a project right now that has a machine on one end, a core 2 duo on the other end and guess whats in the middle bridging the two together
seems to be loosening. I could take my old pager, stand it on end and watch it walk on the table, but I never considered it a "swarmbot"... and it had more brains packed inside.
I know that's not the point of the exercise, but it just seems like any gizmo that wiggles around gets classified as a "robot"
Sorry that I am not an expert in your field of interest, and sorry I am not a jack of all trades, master of none nerd, with entire encyclopedias memorized... and that you have nothing better to do with your life.
yea my 20 bucks is really going to make a difference against the sometimes 6 min long listing of funds and corporate sponsors
I dont support them anyway, every beg-a-thon its a week of motivational snake oil salesmen offering me a dvd, then its back to re-runs of this old house

the right side of politics sure has been "funny" a lot lately
3 bucks for a clone is hard to beat considering the chip in single quantities cost more than that
