AFAIK (w/o RTFA) most of these new discoveries are from infrared readings from the new infrared telescope that was launched into orbit a while back (Spitzer is the name?).
Using this telescope, they look at the infrared radiation emitted by a star, which radiates out in a solid disk if there is no planet. The first clue that a planet exists in a system is if there is an abnormal gap or break in the sun's disk
Unless I was mistaken, I think the article is placing the "Tatooine-like" on the fact that it's a planet with multiple suns, not that it's a desert like planet./me places thumper/me runs away

...to bring education and enlightenment to the masses.
Or at least those who can afford it.

Excepting that there's no way that the makers of these integrated solutions will allow their motherboards to trump their non-integrated solutions.
I need to find these rich neighborhoods and raid them as well... I like free hardware.
