Um, actually the specs page says it has 32mb. The software itself is located in ROM memory, so that doesn't take up any space. Still not that much, but more than 16mb.
A possible explanation may be that they don't want to steer. A device this simple, and with these kinds of power requirements, may be deployed on a far larger scale than a single, expensive explorer-cart. They might not be able to provide positional data, but that may well be compensated by their range and numbers. Imagine hundred of these rolling around Mars, for a year or so, continually transmitting usefull measurements... Besides : they might be able to detect their positions from down here - most likely not as accurate as GPS, but still...
91% of the time you enter the password my values captured matched each letter entry and the time between letters entered.
I don't want to have to retype my password one time out of ten just because I typed the third and fourth letter to close together. It's a good idea, but I think it needs a higher success rate (without compromising security, of course). I think a pattern-recognizer (like a neural network) might come in handy, though that may be slightly overkill for your Windows login screen.
From the article: Sandra Lawson, McLurkin's mother, figured out she had a gifted child at age 2 when her boy stuck a french fry up each nostril during lunch and said, ''Look mom, I'm a walrus.'' Though unimpressed by his nasal hygiene, she was astounded her child knew what a walrus was.
He then smeared the rest of his food all over his face and listed three more Beatles songs.
Sandra wept and thought : 'My boy is truly a genius'.
We've been using that kind of system for years in Belgium, it's called Proton. It pretty much comes standard on any bank card, and you can charge them in any ATM machine and phone-cell. It sounds great in theory, and it's way more convenient than real money, but I think there's a serious psychological factor in play here : people not only like to know how much money they have at any time, but they like to be able to feel it. Especially older people are somewhat mistrusting towards technology and banks, and if you combine the two -like here- it's no wonder they don't use it.

I've just got my Nokia 6600 to sync with evolution. Not a very pleasant process, but it works.
Here is a picture, with some people next to it for comparison.
It's big, indeed.
This allows a single executiple
What the hell is an executiple?
I read the article with two Intel banners. There goes your conspiracy theory.
Just when you thought it was safe to start buying music from BuyMusic, another another Windows security flaw is found
Is Michael making a subtle reference to the vast amount of security flaws being found in Windows?
Or did he proofread this news item with his eyes closed again?

Will there be an old guy counting down the seconds before it self-destructs ?
And will the disk start to smoke?

"for which OWERTY is often cited as an example"
That's the kind of typo you get if you use a Dvorak layout
