the final image kinda resembles a penis

"The more I started to look at the ear," said Rahul Sarpeshkar, associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, "the more I realized it's like a super radio with 3,500 parallel channels."

Dude
What?

dude is wacked out on his own mind.
its all about giving 18 mths to devs to build AAA games.
the hardware is obviously at 100% (for all intents n purposes)

will a year and a bit be enough to beat Wii Sports?!
probably. but not by much.
yeh but where's the wand - oh yeh, next generation.

this is nowhere near as groundbreaking for gaming as sony's new announcement. merely a project to tide over consumers til their next gen console with wand.
Wow, good point Jeff.
I used to have to survive on satellite broadband, sure the throughput's great, but the ping - well thats god-awful - don't expect to be playing any online games with it
The ping is down to the distance travelled from earth to satellite back down to earth again - but if you're up on the same level, that ping is going to be much more manageable (probably cut right in half - depending on where the ISS is compared to the satellite).
So with all that data they're undoubtedly transferring on their superfast connection, on windows machines, a virus was sadly inevitable.

And yeh it figures the virus came through on WoW, like the previous poster said, I'm sure their systems, though based on windows, will all have bespoke software on, and as mentioned in the article, an intranet, that I'm sure is used amongst other things, to update all their software builds and AV definitions. Their system was secured against what the system is and what it does (what software is used, how it connects) unfortunately for the Astronouts, and now for NASA - WoW didn't come as standard - and so was not protected against.

Am I the only one who thinks its frikkin cool the astronauts have internet up there?!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
