[insert witty comment about getting turned on]
i'd say these classic fonts became overused *because* they are really good
using a cheap laminator to fuse the toner to the board -- now there's an interesting spin

How Much Power Does My Laptop Really Use? PART 2
d'oh, machinery ruined because of Celsius vs Fahrenheit! :( dog gone it, why don't we switch to the metric system. i don't care how many "furlongs" there are in a "hogshead" ;-/
darn it, these guys can make a great cpu core, but have they ever heard of software-based emulation? :-/
:( that's the opposite of what they intended to do
compu-terrrrism. i hope this was intended to be funny :)
good use of foam to simplify construction
key milestones in the development of computer chips. thanks to ar0cketman
i'm gonna have to try this, to get rid of that ever-annoying Help key :-/
i'd venture a guess that collaboration will increase the overall rate of scientific advancement by several times
check out Move to Junk, a brilliant poem by unigami. after reading the second stanza, i became enlightened ;D

this looks like a neat device -- a fast linux-based 2-drive RAID 1 NAS with gigabit ethernet & built-in LAMP server software
it's a start. how about standardizing on four or five form factors and re-using the cases? for example, the mac mini case has remained almost identical for two generations and several updates now. ehhh, computers are too much like fashion accessories nowadays :-/

Fantastic... Apple's many "tour de force"-es of industrial design.
Beautiful photos of classic computer keyboards. Gorgeous designs from Apple (frogdesign), IBM, and others.
here's one for Jeremy -- IBM Model M Keyboards. over 10,000 spring-activated keys are in this shot :)
