having researched keeping salt water aquaria alive, I know that maintaining the proper balance in a tank is critical to the survival of fish that can costhundreds of dollars.
it is not unusual for a salinity or temperature change to KILL an entire tank.
I read the article this afternoon. the boots were studied and found to require more exertion on the part of the user than if he were to go the same distance without the boots. thus until the materials changes to make them weigh about 2lbs or less they are not useful.
Sun Microsystems has their "Niagara" chip with 8 cores executing 4 threads = 32way. the Niagara2 chip doubles that to 8 cores executing 8 threads = 64way. http://www.sun.com/processors/niagara/
the "Victoria Falls" systems are dual processor = up to 128way. the "Rock" chip due in 2008 will have 16 cores and an undetermined number of threads however expect it to be no less than 8 = at least 128way per chip.
that powerrangers/ultraman crap commercial had me saying - What the He-double-hockey-stix? who is the idiot who OK'd that? -- I had successfully forgotten about it as quickly as it had begun. until now. thanks for nothing.

It looks to me like CISCO is trying to sell their CRAPSYS phone by using the marketing power of the "i" prefix.

"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
