    Unix Time events (for giggles and grins)

    Ok now I read down this list and ... I laughed a lot when I saw this " At 12:53:20 UTC on May 14 2012, the Unix time number reached 1337000000. Leet" (!) All I can say is 'why would I care about a leet moment? I didn't even NOTICE it happened. In fact at that time I had just finished eating...

    This has steadily become a new thing, Open Hardware. An example Open Pandora another example is The Beagle Board A while back in the earlier days of Linux someone made an Open MIPS system (circa 1993-1994). There are some problems with Open hardware (that is what this post is about). Time...

    Tech-tainment new tech used to entertain

    Some of the technology is a bit weird but they had some interesting stuff at Coachella this year apparently. Although the idea of emulating DEAD PEOPLE is rather creepy and ... disturbing (in the cheap magazine advertisement words 'for fun AND profit'). The holography concert would be a bit...

    Interesting Blog (by someone from Japan) on Sony

    http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-blogs/other/4370919/Sony-pride-turns-to-disillusionment Is a very interesting article. Sony at one time was synonymous with quality innovation and useful things, now it's synonymous with "WTF!?" when looking at what they sell. Don't get me started on the...

    modifying istream using streambuf overloading?

    This might be a bit on the odd side of things (scary enough it even has to do with emulation). I would like to be able to open 'files' in an ISO image for reading, my problem is I prefer to do this using NORMAL C++ stream operators. I've been reading this bit of information but it's a bit weak...

    Tearing apart the iPad3

    I know most of you use your iPad (for whatever it is you do with an iPad I guess). However some of us like to rip things apart and find out what's in them. This post is for those of us who ask the big question "hey is that a Fairchild semi class D amplifier or a Wolfson electronics Audio A2D...

    Engineers and Beer?

    I was reading EEtimes and found this rather interesting (if not imbibing article). I don't drink myself but I thought some will find it funny. Also do note TOO much beer can bring out the some real problems (some people fight when intoxicated). Cyb

    Communications just got faster ... and more dense

    IBM has hit the 1Tbps rate (yes 1000000000000 bits per second), or think of it this way, you can send your 3T hard drives contents in roughly 25 seconds across a network. THAT is if you could get the data out fast enough. However also in the news are optical links built into the IC's this is...

    WinDoze 8

    I know you have all been baiting with weighted breath on Windows 8 I know I know. (cough) anyhow a preview. Some of the comments are somewhat amusing (if you consider MS history with OS introductions). It's just a photo show mostly, that doesn't make how it works worth beans. I do wonder why...

    Quantum computing ... "In Our Lifetime"

    I thought this was interesting but a tad humorous at the same time. We can have quantum computers, but only if super cooled so they can be read with conventional systems. Currently it's quite exotic and also quite far away to anything useful. So JUST before half of us are DEAD this will be...

    Ivy Bridge Delayed

    This article indicates Intel is having a 3 week delay. No reasons stated although much speculation is available otherwise (LOL). I thought all the salivating first adoptee's here would want to know that it's 3 weeks more before they can .. first adopt? Cyb

    Engineers Offices :D

    I saw this picture of an engineers office and had to laugh. Here are a few very famous engineers desks, Jim Williams for example. Another would be Bob Pease (scarey his was). For one of my coworkers I have been looking for a an avalanche sign for his office (he skis a lot so it's quite...
