The "i-Slate". No, not the mysterious Apple tablet
There's a current hype around the name "iSlate". Apparently (or at least according to what people suggests), Apple is going to release a tablet computer/oversized iPhone/whatever under that name. One clue to this is that Apple supposedly bought the domain name iSlate.com back in 2007. For more rumors about the iSlate you can go here.
But here I would like to point you to another "i-Slate", a small, handheld, tablet-computer-like educational device target. Points to note include: it's powered by a photovoltaic cells, therefore grid-independent; it's a dedicated device and does not have an OS; it uses low-power chips made from "probabilistic complementary metal-oxide semiconductors" (which means the chips don't do exact calculations but make approximates); and it's cheap (projected cost less than $40).
The creator of the i-Slate is IEEE Fellow Krishna Palem, a compsci professor at Rice.
See the original article here.
I wonder whether there will be trademark issues for Apple just like when Cisco had the "iphone" trademark...

This time 百度 is down!
www.baidu.com is down at the moment. Apparently the domain cannot be resolved; pinging www.baidu.com results in requests timed out. Its homepage can be reached via http://220.181.6.175/, but you can't search, click on any links or see images. That's only natural since all the links/image srcs/etc are written as baidu.com.
DNS hijacking anyone?
Edit 1: It's 6:11 Central Time right now. Pinging now goes through to IP address 209.151.224.242, which, upon some googling, doesn't seem like any useful address. It's probably DNS hijacking then.

Facebook is down?
Whenever something is down, I search on twitter for news.
Can't use Gmail? Search twitter for "gmail" and know it's not only you.
AT&T data not working? "Same here" says a lot of tweets.
Now facebook is having problems, and twitter is instantly flooded with the news.
Now I wonder what will happen if twitter goes down...
