yep. we already know all about it. that which isn't the point of the infographic. it's the fact the New York Times devoted time to making such a detailed map of a 3D printer. and published it!

it came out last week. it's a biography of Richard Fernman drawn as a comic book. it's an easy read. you can enjoy it in one go. or you can stop often letting the stories sink in over a bunch of days. there are two lectures included toward the end. go slow or re-read a panel until you get the full affect. because after you read it you will understand what it's like to be a theoretical particle physicist even if you aren't. don't worry, the effect won't last long. you'll return to your normal self soon enough.
preview it here. buy it here.

based on an ARM processor this "PC" has 128MB of RAM, USB and displays video via an HDMI port. it seems odd to us that they would use HDMI instead of VGA because there are so many "free" displays that it could power. fortunately, a $4 cable solves this problem. the plan is to make 2 versions one with 128M of RAM and another that doubles the RAM and adds a ethernet port selling for $10 more.

ethernet had compromise in mind from the beginning which is what allows it to get faster as technology improves. this Wired article covers it from beginning to end.
