  1. Available for Linux and Mac too! on Michael Michael On PomPom Shmups · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's worth noting that both of PomPom's games are available for not only Windows, but Linux and MacOS.

  2. Correct link for build-it-yourself wearable on Surrounded By Cyborgs: ISWC2000, Take 1 · · Score: 3

    It's not linked of the main Charmed site yet, so the link you should visit for the build-it-yourself wearable is http://www.charmed.com/charmit. Forgive the lack of content at the moment - I threw this together in about an hour after Timothy told me he was going to mention us. =)

  3. Vapor on 19" Monitor Goes Portable · · Score: 5
    Sadly, these are at least partially vapor. The compact flash and/or PCMCIA interface would be very attractive because it could potentially cut down on power. One obstacle to high battery life with portable computing is the many conversions that have to happen to get an image on your screen. Your processor sends a digital image to your video card, which then converts it to analog and ships it out on the video cable. The box for your HUD then takes the analog and converts it back into digital so the LCD can display it. If even one of these steps could be efficiently bypassed, it would cut power consumption dramatically.

    Unfortunately, someone from my company called these guys up to see if they wanted to work with us, and they admitted that most of it was basically wishful thinking.
