  • Ask the listeners: What is the craziest errata you've ever seen?
  • Dave went and picked up 100 kg of Electronics Australia magazines.
  • Chris still gets tripped up by rules of thumb for the metric system. XKCD has a brilliant chart of different ways of remembering amounts.
  • The CSIRO are trying out a new wireless data system that can transmit over 10 Gbps! 
  • They also are the rightful inventors of WiFi and receive royalty checks for people that use the standard.
  • We don't like companies that only defend patents (like Intellectual Ventures) but if they roll the money back into research, that's ok!
  • Dave was watching a TV special on a software lock technology company that took on Microsoft...and won! (well, settled)
  • OSHW Association was announced recently.  They will be a registered 501c3 corporation.
  • Followup from the other week: The Raspberry Pi made it through EMC testing and will be manufactured and sold now. Andrew Back does a first look at a beta unit, connecting it up to a vintage CRT monitor.
  • What other hobbies have home labs? Most chemists are afraid to have labs at home because they might be accused of devious behavior.
  • Though they still have a ways to go, plastic electronics are getting lower impedance and are still printable.

  • What are your connector design considerations?
  • Chip of the Week:
    • The Linear Technology LTC4366 (yes, LT again).  It's a chip that can detect and protect against incoming surges. It's programmable for time and over voltages. Plus it can float on your rails! Cool!
