If you go to their cloud service page ( https://cloud.internalpositioning.com/ ), it's trivially easy to get live location data for strangers by guessing names.

Their only distribution center, at that! They ship everything out of the Thief River Falls warehouse. They also run a great tour, if you're ever in the area. Fun fact, they can tak…

"The Muen Separation Kernel is the world’s first Open Source microkernel that has been formally proven to contain no runtime errors at the source code level." This doesn't really j…

You can already buy GaN FETs (although not the exact type being researched by MIT, as mentioned in the article): - http://epc-co.com/epc/Products/eGaNFETs.aspx - http://www.ti.com/…

Eh, depends on where you're coming from. These clearly aren't "production grade." Maybe not even "academically curious grade." Until you can at least get budgetary pricing without …

HP has put the project on indefinite hiatus. It's probably dead forever.

A friend emailed them for small quantity pricing a while ago. "Thank you for contacting us. Our 16 pin package is the newest offering in our Neuro-Bit line of memristor products. S…

Processing power is only one part of the equation, though. These Cortex processors are significantly more constrained in RAM and storage than computers of 1995. Run Python on a 100…

Location: Louisville, Kentucky The company I work for, Techshot ( http://techshot.com/ ), is currently looking to fill a couple of positions. We're a small contract engineering fir…

That works once you've reached a certain level of understanding. Most AAA games have really good translations. The trick is "comprehensible input." If you can provide a learner wit…

In general, Russian rockets don't have the same range safety mechanisms that American and European rockets do.

Although the Dragon is reusable, SpaceX's contract with NASA stipulates that new capsules be used for each resupply mission. Not sure if the contract allows SpaceX to refurbish the…

Per Dave Jones ( http://www.eevblog.com/ ), yes.

They've recently diversified into lighting, with "Big Ass Lights." The companies are organized under "Big Ass Solutions" http://www.bigasssolutions.com/

It's a product of a higher target altitude (650km for Orbcomm vs. 330km for an ISS resupply) and wanting to perform a single second-stage burn to achieve the target orbit.

Glad to hear it! I've been looking for a viable Pachube alternative since Pachube got gobbled up.

Unfortunately, Xively is neither free, nor open source.

They were using Lua, but found some of the features of the language to be non-condusive to microcontroller use. If you want something similar that can be programmed bare-metal, che…

The cruising altitude of Google Loon's is well above the cruising altitude of any commercial jet. This accident was caused by a balloon coming down, a much rarer occurrence. I don'…

Nope, I don't see these being sold in Radio Shack. The world of electronics distribution reaches way beyond Radio Shack. I mean: Before the Raspberry Pi, there were Linux-capable A…

I'll be interested to see how this progresses. With any luck, it'll open up a market of cheap, well-distributed SOMs, similar to the Pi opening up a market for cheap, well-distribu…

I would love to see something like this for embedded Linux applications (Platforms like BeagleBone or Raspberry Pi), without the overhead of X11, rather than just Android/Tizen/et …

The problem with that was that the short line from Louisville to Indianapolis hasn't been seriously updated in over 50 years. The speed limit on the entire section of track is some…
