Comment Fragmentation (Score 1) 373

The only major problem with the Android Open Accessory port is that some handsets might not be supported (despite having the docking port) because they cannot run the latest version of Android to work with the accessory + app. Handsets are notorious for shipping with older versions of Android or the current major version of Android, but not the current point release.

Comment I had lunch with an astronaut last week... (Score 3, Interesting) 365

Astronaut John Blaha was available for a group lunch last week at KSC and I attended. When asked about the end of the Space Shuttle program, his disgust and frustration was clearly communicated in his response. He blamed politicians Washington. When asked about life in a post-STS world, he said: "We need another Kennedy to get us (humankind) further. It doesn't have to be a U.S. figure, just any Kennedy-like person somewhere who can get the ball rolling."
