I think a few aren't too bad, it was just the sheer numbers that unnerved me. The wind was quite strong, it felt I was standing next to many powerful jet engines.

Have you ever stood next to giant wind turbines? While driving through an area with hundreds of 100 meter wind turbines, I stopped to take a closer look at them. They are genuinely fear inducing, and feel alien. I could not stay close to one for more than a few minutes before I was overcome with dread.

These look great, they can also be streamed from http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C9-Lectures-Stephan-T-Lavave...

Why is it atrocious? Other reviewers are ranking it close to 4.5/5. (source:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bbm&hl=en)

His latest start-up is Hicamp Systems (http://www.hicampsystems.com). According to this patent,(http://goo.gl/fDjEYn), Hicamp stands for Hierarchial Immutable Content Addressable Memory Architecture - looking forward to this coming out of stealth mode.

Looking forward to hearing what Vazirani has to say about D-Wave in the Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computation course.

I wonder why this post was removed from the front page.

I agree, but having already encountered cancer in the family, I'm going to keep a close eye on this development with hope that it leads to a cure.

Discussed at greater depth in the paper at http://goo.gl/YDTwu , if anyone's interested.

One solution to this using conventional CMOS technology is to use 3D stacking, where each layer uses a different technology.

I used to feel terrified when I played Wolfenstein as a kid, definitely not simply playful.

From what I've read, through silicon thermal vias are used to remove heat from thermal hotspots to the heat sink.

Haha I didn't mean it to be satirical, but I can see how it can be interpreted as such.

You're right, I didn't realize Nate Silver was using an average. Also after reading the article, it looks like not just predictions for the 2012 presidential electoral vote, but other votes such as the Senate races are also being compared.

Actually the most accurate 2012 election pundit was Drew Linzer (http://votamatic.org/). Provided Florida goes Obama's way, he correctly predicted the electoral college - Obama 332, Romney 206.
