Under The Hood: Taking A Bite Out Of Raspberry Pi, $35 Of Tiny PC Power 
Woz On Innovation, Robots And What Apple Does Wrong I wrote recently about the challenges facing Windows 8 tablets, looking at factors such the x86/ARM split. New reports suggest that user confusion and pricing issues might be the real problems facing Microsoft’s 2012 tablet strategy.
Memristors — circuits that can be used for memory storage products — are only a couple of years away, at least according to HP. New research suggests that not only should these new circuits be super-fast at memory retrieval, but they might also be much cheaper to produce than anybody anticipated.
Ever been told that you should fully discharge your battery to prolong its life? Or that jailbreaking your phone is illegal? Or that you should wait for the newest Intel processor because it’s going to be “so much faster”? These are tech myths we hear all the time, and likely spread to our friends — but most are just a waste of your time (and in some cases, they can actually harm your gadgets). Here are some of the worst offenders.

Projectors certainly aren’t a new addition to the list of devices ripe for inclusion, but until now, a portable and to be frank, not-ugly design, has eluded manufacturers. That’s until ASUS came up with this intriguing approach.
While it might sound like a dumb idea, designing a computer processor that can make mistakes could be a good thing — especially where energy use is a concern.
There’s been strong indication that Apple is contemplating killing off the Mac Pro. A small group of creative professionals is crying out for Cupertino to give them new machines. The problem is their clamouring probably won’t be heard, because their bleak little group — We Want a New Macpro — only has a paltry 54 likes.
