- Thin-client devices can still be exciting! by Charlie Bess

We live in an on-demand, ultra-connected world with communications gadgets that seem eerily similar to the stuff we see in science fiction movies. We expect to be able to reach anyone at anytime, and I don’t know about you, but I get a bit irritated when I can’t get in touch with someone instantly.

- Magnetic memory at one bit per molecule by Charlie Bess
