Someone make this and get rich: The pen hooks up through bluetooth and it has the pressure sensitive tip. You would develop a program to map the touch pad and have the program en…

But touchpads aren't pressure sensitive, and can only move the cursor relative to where you press.

Yeah, I've noticed quite a few Mac laptops watching NASA TV. Already spotted four powerbooks (one or two 17", I believe) and one graphite clamshell iBook. Hmmph. Damn Mac nerds.

OT--Anyone watch the landing? How did they get those update tones so rapidly? It seemed like they only took 10-20 seconds from the actual events, but I thought mars was about 5 lig…

Just watching the live feed on NASA TV you can see lots of Powerbooks and quite a few Apple displays (I think). kman

One of the guys at NASA actually still uses his MessagePad 2100 at work everyday. Course, it's not connected to anything mission critical.

I have two beagles and if Beagle 2 is alive and resembles a real beagle in any way I can guarantee this: if there is anything edible on Mars, the Beagle will find it!

In terms of the longevity of HUbble, it migt be that the internal systems are geting old in their age. I don't think it was meant to be up their indefinitely anyways. But yah, it…

I have the JPL "NASA TV" Real feed open now, and is that a Sound stick that the Mission Manager Has on the top part of his desk? Near the blue "Mission Manager" Sign

Congratulations to NASA on the successful mission with Spirit. May they continue in safety

Great news! But I don't believe Beagle2 has made it. Imagine, maybe in some decades man search for Beagle2 and find it somewhere hidden under dust, and those of us who are still al…

What a great day for NASA/JPL! It was exciting to follow the whole landing procedure and to see the first B&W images. Color images are due soon. I wonder if Mar's sky will…

I was at some NASA HQ in Washington D.C once and I saw rooms full of Macs but not one winblows machine.
