Into a Newton Fractal

Awesome zoom into a Newton fractal up to (or down to..)  e^75.

A deep magnification of the infinity deep and vastly complex Mandelbrot fractal set. The final magnification is e.75.  Want some perspective? A magnification of e.12 would increase the size of an actual single particle to the same size as the earths orbit! e.21 would make that particle look the same size as the milky way! e.42 would be equal to the universe! This zoom is nearly double that. If you were “actually traveling” into the fractal, your speed would be faster than the speed of light.

Microsoft Courier

Dual 7” screens IPad killer. But this is a CG video so it should qualify more as a wish list of features rather than a product at this point. More at Engadget.

Jobs ‘96 vs. Jobs ‘10

So Apple Sued HTC for patent infringement and the CEO Steve Jobs says: [Link]

"We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We've decided to do something about it. We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours."

In a 1996 interview, some other guy called Steve Jobs says:

“We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.”

OK, maybe the context was different but this was too good to pass up :)
