Just imagine being able to walk into an exhibit hall where the original is maintained in working order, but also being able to use one of the kits to get a taste of computing back in the day.

You mean typing in everyone's favourite for the demo machines:

10 PRINT "BUM"
20 GOTO 10

Ahh, happy memories!

It's also about the fact that parents are probably more likely to buy cheap tablets like these instead of iPads for their kids, and the kids would be more likely to learn about computers using an open system instead of a locked-down "consumer device."

Yup, there's nothing more open than an iPad!

I saw coverage of this on Japanese TV last weekend, and the hype is over the fact that since it is grown in a clean room, there is no bacteria, so it can be kept in an airtight bag at room temperature for a long, long time without going brown or losing its crispness.

The program had three month old lettuce that they tasted and they said it was just as good as the freshly-picked stuff.

Imagine a Beowulf <strike>Cluster</strike> Symphony of orchestras!

1999 is the date of the earlier related patent. The filing date is above, clearly written as August 5, 2013, and of course the application number starting with "2013..." is another huge give-away.

It's a bit of a non-story in my opinion, as I think most people worry about Ubuntu and their direct partners slurping all their search info, whereas this "news" is that they now insert an anonymiser into image URLs so that random web site Z doesn't pick up your IP address when your computer tries to render an image.

1.42 metres per second is 5.11 kph / 3.18 mph, or Force One on the Beaufort scale, which Wikipedia tells me means "Smoke drift indicates wind direction. Leaves and wind vanes are stationary."

American, but not British gallons, which are 4.54 litres, if I remember my sums correctly.

...for extracting random phrases out of the middle of a patent document that match prior art and posting them to a web site in order to increase hit rates. Please delete this article or you will be hearing from my lawyers!

Here in Japan most people use carrier email that supports push, HTML and attachments on feature phones to smartphones, and all free and not counted towards whatever data plan you might be on.

Yup, I'll second that. For the people too lazy to click through, your in-dash unit basically becomes a thin client terminal (using RealVNC) for your smartphone server, and the phone can supply an audio stream to the in-car audio system, and read back all your presses of the steering wheel buttons, etc, etc.

Toyota/Panasonic's system will even read your Tweets to you as you drive, and I'm sure an update to the smartphone side will use whatever in-car hands-free system to allow you to dictate Tweets as you drive.

...they've already chosen Cheap and Cheap.

80 tonnes versus 23 tonnes. Looks like someone just ran "80 tonnes in lb" through Google.
