It'd be nice if they also threw in a digital optical s/pdif output on it. But either way, I can now use the PCI slot for this, take out the broadcom decoder mini Pci-e card and use it elsewhere, and put the wireless card in the mini pci-e slot rather than a pci -> mini pci-e adapter. Only problem is now I gotta wait. Do they have an ETA or price estimate anywhere yet?

This may just end up as a hot seller.

UCLA Engineers Create Energy-Generating LCD Screen 108

An anonymous reader writes "Engineers at UCLA have developed technology that allows gadgets like smartphones and laptops to convert sunlight, ambient light, and their own backlight into energy. Equipping LCD-enhanced devices with so-called polarizing organic photovoltaics will recoup battery loads of lost power, and enable smartphone users to scour Yelp, scan Twitter, and update their Facebook page without fear of draining the charge before a real communication crisis arises."

The governments of the western world seem to have it in mind that criminalizing everything will protect them from some sort of boogeyman/men. Hackers, and in general people who steal whats "theirs". People who just want to share their free thought. What the people in power want is for you to second guess everything you say or do, and to live in fear of the consequences. They want to create a cyber police and regulate every aspect of our lives. For what? For profit. To maintain control. No other reason. We've seen thanks to the actions of Anonymous and wikileaks and others how deep the corruption is. We've seen first hand what happens when some group destroys an entire eco system (the gulf of mexico) compared to when someone attacks the state. Now all the cards are on the table. They want to shut it all down. They want three strikes laws. They want search and seizure laws. They want to do things without due process or warrents. They want to impose their twisted morality on the populace. They want to frame Anonymous/Wikileaks and the like and make them out to be pedophiles or terrorists or pirates or rapists. It's rather disgusting how obvious it is. And the most shocking thing of all is that they are actually SURPRISED by the retaliation they are receiving, as minimal as it is! The actions of what appear to be just a few people have terrified the companies who thought they had carte blanc to do as they pleased. However it hasn't pressed them to change their ways, but to hide behind a veneer of superiority and attempt to stop those selfish robin hoods of the internets.

They'll do something they think is clever like announcing their opening date as "If a train is heading to Manhattan from Los Angeles to open a museum on mathematics at 50 mph, and leaves on the first friday in July 2011, and another train is heading to Manhattan for the same reason at 150 mph but departs on the following monday, which train arrives on opening day first.. and what date is it?" hurr durrr.
