I would also add "The Art of UNIX Programming" to that list. This book isn't just about programming in UNIX. It is more about the philosophy behind UNIX, which in turn describes properties of any sustainable software system.

It can be found online here: http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/

One of my favorite parts is on transparency and discoverability: http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch06s02.html

What about the hot spot in southwest Colorado over La Garita? F@#%!!!

Fat Tire is and always has been brewed by New Belgium in Fort Collins, CO. It's their signature beer.

Amd has been able to do this for quite a while as well. It was first featured in the Phenom quad core, which came out in 2007, so design work started much earlier.

Supposed to say HTML "application".

Exactly. This is why the "application" is a bad idea. I understand the goal of moving "heavy lifting" to the cloud and having "thin" clients. However, it appears that the "thin" client envisioned here is a machine that parses and interprets lots and lots of text. It's so inefficient and wasteful. As a hardware designer, we keep making mobile devices more powerful and energy efficient all so lazy programmers can throw steaming piles of crap onto the devices. It's a hack on top of a hack on top of a hack. Some sort of binary protocol where minimal bytes are passed between server and client is needed here.

Dan Brown, is that you?

What is the largest consumer of power in a mobile device? The screen. If you need less power to get the same brightness, that's better battery life and I'll take it along with the other aforementioned benefits such as color reproduction and specular reflection vs diffuse to allow viewing in the outdoors.
