They can be switched to either mode (bi-endian).


That reminds me of the F-CPU project which was designing an open source 64 bit cpu, the project has died 2 or 3 times so far, maybe if you decide to go the FPGA route you could revive it.

Just thought of something...
Various cybernetic implants would impress the hell out of me :)
I'd give 600 bucks, and more for that !

The point with the different "pads" are that they offers easy access on the go due to the shape and keyboard "placement" and builtin mobilephone instead of a dongle. It's mainly a ergonomic issue. Computing wise they are nothing new at all.

If one leave the hardware side of things, what applications would one desire?

PC became available for really large corporations and goverments in the 1960s. The problem were size and price.

I was planning on keeping my iphone 4 forever because I just replaced the screen and because I have never had an issue with the antenna...

I would like to get rid of AT&T and this "unlimited" data plan... They are complaining because I use over 3GB/month and throttle me.

I'd be pretty pissed if I rented a car from AVIS with "Unlimited" miles in Miami and it had a speed governor that kicked in (allowing a maximum of 15MPH) 1/2 way or Orlando.

What is the point of a LTE if I'm just going to burn through my data that much faster.

I was planning on keeping my Sony P-900 because it is less pretentious and does everything a touch screen phone needs to do LOL

I'm going to hold on to my iPhone 5 for at least the next two years.  I have an estimated delivery date of October 1 to 5.

The IBM 360 released in 1964 had 8 kB - 8 MB of RAM, 112 MB HDD, and CPU with 0.034 MIPS. That's more than some 1981 PC:s had.

CDC 6600 accomplished 1 MFLOPS in 1964.

So mid 1960s where the point where capacity equaling to the IBM PC became available.

IBM didn't invent the term PC. The Altair 8800 from 1975 was where the term Personal Computer origininated.
 
It's quite a meaningless term nowadays, in the I'm a PC advert Microsoft implied it meant that it ran one of their operating systems. Yet on the same computer you could run Linux or MacOS.
