Did you know it exists? You can also check http://flickriver.com/photos/europeanspaceagency/popular-interesting/ for their shots sorted by popularity. Is ESA already on Facebook too? ;-)

And what does one win in the end? Yet another unfeasible concept to be archived somewhere in a journal? Look at "Millis hypothetical drives"... Give me a break, for sure!! -
I like the sentence "16 peer-reviewed journal articles, and an award-winning website (Warp-When), all for a total investment of less than $1.6M". This gives 100.000 dollars per peer-reviewed paper (we neglect the award-winning web-site under the assumption that is the easy part....). With these number the ACT in 2010 cashed 1.4 millions only in research papers making it an obvious good investment for the European Space Agency also in austerity times!!!

Instead of taking a cantilever-based approach, the team went a slightly different route, engineering a microchip with a small bridge-like structure that’s anchored to the chip at both ends. The researchers deposited a single layer of PZT to the bridge, placing a small weight in the middle of it. The team then put the device through a series of vibration tests, and found it was able to respond not just at one specific frequency, but also at a wide range of other low frequencies. The researchers calculated that the device was able to generate 45 microwatts of power with just a single layer of PZT — an improvement of two orders of magnitude compared to current designs.

should we have another look at this type of technology?

the cloud is still largely a one-way road into Web services, with closed data networks making it difficult to impossible to move data into competing services

also interesting is this article quote: "How big can the cloud get before it starts to rain?" http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/09/09/30/0152200/Amazons-Cloud-May-Provision-50000-VMs-a-Day

well - none of the two examples that they have given show much imagination - don't think that any of these will be better than just using the full screen pdf, my preferred way after printing and reading on paper ... btw: Kevin: are you still around? could we meet?

Don't know if you've noticed, but the current version is becoming more and more usable... did you try it already in your collaborative work?

We've used it a bit with Juxi and Leopold for the work on the new issue of acta futura, and I think it is quite nice. The problem right now is that only a few people in the team have an account (and I have exhausted my invitations). Maybe you have one or two you are willing to share? :)
