Gosh, it sure would be nice if the actual scientific results weren't locked behind a paywall...if I paid taxes in the EU I'd be pissed.
Next step is for someone to hook this to the top of their car and teach it to autopilot.

I would love to have Appengine as an alternative to AWS, but what's a poor boy to do without his nodejs & cassandra?

Can't wait for one big mesh (802.11s) to come standard on all devices - imagine a world where banning wifi and google/verizon cronyism are impossible (at least in metro areas).
