Personal Curved Screen Monitors

Good job Dell for creating curved screen monitors!
Having experienced a large TV monitor, the curved screen TV made the field of view seem smaller.
It seemed like one would need a much larger TV to make a curved screen TV worthwhile.

Personal monitors on the other hand, make a lot more sense.
Bravo Dell!

NASA's Mars Opportunity rover sets a new driving record, beating an old Soviet one

Boing Boing

"The NASA Opportunity Mars rover landed on Mars ten years ago, and was not expected to be trucking along in the dust an entire decade later. But truck along it has, and NASA this week announced that Opportunity now "holds the off-Earth roving distance record after accruing 25 miles (40 kilometers) of driving." The previous record was held by the Soviet Union's Lunokhod 2 rover."


In celebration, posting one of my favorite songs.
I love the many references to the various Mars rovers. Listen for them! :-)
