I would think that you would still have to read the location of the cluster before writing to it. Sure you can flip magnetic particles N > S or S > N at bazillions per second speed but if you don't know what you're flipping that's not good.

I'd love to have one with more than 128 or 256MB ram. I wonder if the Broadcom SOC design allows for piggybacking a larger chip on top? I'm sure a model B with 1GB of RAM wouldn't be out of the question at a price point of $50. I realize we're just going more and more "I want" in price but I think it would be nice to have that extra headroom

When I visited some family in Michigan we drove to Port Huron to have dinner at the Thomas Edison Inn. There was a gas station near by that was $4.10 a gallon which was about 30 to 40 cents higher than what I was seeing in the Detroit suburbs at the time. The locals seemed to be passing it up but the pumps had several people with Ontario plates filling up and also loading gas cans in their trunks. The opportunity that the station owner was capitalizing on was that this was the first gas station that you saw when you came off the Blue Water Bridge from Point Edward, Ontario.

So when is someone going to make a tablet kit for a Raspberry Pi and also make a Meego and Android distribution for it? That's what I'd like.

Plus (I would assume) if you're worried you're going to kill someone, might as well start on someone who's already got a death sentence.

Well in regards to the universal flu vaccine it teaches the body how to recognize common internal parts of the virus. Because it is a retro virus it keeps changing its external coat but at the core it is pretty much the same. Now the body can also recognize the core of the virus. Sort of like a locksmith teaching someone how to pick a lock.

My vote would make it more like some of the computers on Lexx. Every once in a while your phone would say things like "Stonent, that's a very delicious looking battery there, can I eat it?" Or like 790, the love-slave robot.

Maybe Google could just buy a Watson cluster and route all the questions to it. But let me get this straight, we'll be getting Star Trek technology in our phones (at least on Verizon) containing names licensed from the Star Wars creator?

If you can telecommute to work, so can someone else in another country who will do your job for cheaper.

Well Samsung just came out with the Galaxy player which are 4 and 5 inch Galaxy S(esq) devices meant to compete with the iPod touch. I say "esq" because they it seems as they don't have Super AMOLED screens.
