Autonomous vehicles are a solid red herring. Anybody working in this space knows that anything above the quantum level has way too much latency, so you're seeing folks taking the obvious next step and pushing out to the edge with silicon like Nervana, Jetson, and Mythic. It's the same stuffed shirt boardroom toads grasping at thin air. Enjoy the ride:)
Just the other day, my neighbor was driving to work when her engine exploded in front of my house. She got out OK, but her car (a Jeep SUV) was totaled. She said she felt like she drove over a large rock, but it was likely a fuel line issue. I originally thought it was battery related, but the fire department said it was the engine. The explosion shook the windows at my house and there was lots of smoke and fire. Do I think Jeep is at fault? Probably not. The feeling I got was that she was having issues with the vehicle and probably shouldn't have been driving it. The point is, we don't know all the details of these stories, yet we're so quick to pass judgement. The number of Tesla fires is a little worrying, but it seems acceptable compared to gas-powered vehicles.
I agree with this plan. While DIY antennas are fun to build, and I'm sure you're probably looking for something to do while at the homestead, dropping $120 on a decent antenna would be the proper thing to do for your folks.
Frank Lloyd Wright exploited this phenomenon in his architecture. If you're familiar with his "compression and release", you're probably also familiar with how dumbstruck a person can get walking into one of his buildings. http://goo.gl/H6ygK
You might wan to check out this thread on O'Reilly Answers. One commenter is teaching kids with XNA Game Studio and included a link to their Moodle site. They also posted some comments from the 12-14 year old kids taking the class along with a link to their methodology.
I have tried both the GoType and the Targus/Palm (actually Think Outside) folding keyboard.
The GoType is small because it's trying to be.
The Targus/Palm (actually Think Outside) keyboard is.
I bought a Targus/Palm (actually Think Outside) because I'd be stupid not to after seeing one... and, well, because it works. It's an amazing piece of engineering. I can't really see why anyone would want a laptop after seeing one of these.
As far as feel/feedback goes it's top notch. It feels full-sized and you can set the software to make a click sound if you need the extra feedback.
The only thing that sucks about it is that you can't use it on uneven surfaces. You'll need something like a book to keep it from flopping apart in your lap. I prefer a table when typing so this doesn't bug me as much.
psst... if you haven't caught on... the idea is to flood the market with cheap, open, color Linux A/V handhelds able to connect to an 802.11 freenet infrastructure. This is the better keyboard if your into that;^)

They're on pre-order for the next batch, but if you're looking for a nice retro controller, then check this one out... http://www.reflexaudio.com/products_joystick.htm

with respect let this be recognized as a tertiary endorsement of said Dizney creep-out.
