I agree. Everything I've read about them just seems so weird and fascinating, especially since it seems like they could introduce something completely unexpected with the ad-hoc way the teams are organized. Valve doing R&D on wearable c

Care to explain why you feel that way? It's a major feature from the dominant social network that could have consequences in the academic space. Personally, I'm curious what effect this could have on Blackboard if they continue to (re-)expa

It seems to me that the manufacturing strength would be an very strong option for Intel in the future. Even in the event that ARM completely dominates the CPU market, Intel could still profitably function as a fab producing ARM processors.
