From the Kickstarter page, it seems this has two ARM processors. Call me crazy but it would make for an incredible platform for a MAME machine. Make the quad-core CPU emulate the hardware and the single-core emulate the CPU(s) of the original machine.

Have we surpassed the point where closed platforms can be profitable and will we need to settle on an industry body, such as W3C or Khronos, to fix a standard for companies to manage slices of and compete within?
The last time the industry tried this, it failed to gain any real traction.

The WWDC is only 9 days away.
The hype is really getting repetitive.

I vote for the forehead tattoo with an "H" letter design.
Humans fail miserably to manage processes that span longer than their own lifetime.

It's already starting.

I don't want a safe hammer that doesn't kill people, I just want a smart hammer that won't crush my fingers.
