One – You lock the target
As cool as interceptor missile defense technology sounds I wonder if the road the program has gone down is the right one. It’s been proven that the system can work, but the reliability is of some question. Also, the threat of an incoming missile attack has been reduced greatly in the last few years thus bringing into question if the system is needed at all. I am not in favor of scrapping the program out right, but I’d like to see more positive results before a large number of these are built. I think that the airborne laser systems have a better chance of knocking a bird down but the deployment of these are more of a local determent and not a global one.
But what would happen if the system were to work without fail? If the US would pledge that it would disable any missile fired from a nation how would that change the world political climate? Would there now be a rush to secure new kinds of weapons platforms? A move to a robotic or nanotech army? Would the suicide bomber become the standard weapon of small nations?

Soldam Lepty PCs
I like the idea of a mini form factor PC. The idea of a huge loud box on your desk is not all that great if you have six of them in one room. These are a welcomed answer to just that problem. The ‘Lepty’ is a tiny ( 195x195x109mm )fanless Pentium M (or a Celron if your hard up for cash and are stupid) PC with a built in slot loading DVD-+R/RW/RAM burner that comes in eight colors for you to choose from.

Stereo 3D Videocamera
Wow, this would be a prefect setup for shooting vacation videos. Its a bit on the huge side but still very cool.
The camera has a 6 CCD progressive scan image block, an interaxial distance of 3.65” ( close to that of natural human vision), direct to disk recording, 24p mode, mechanically synchronized zoom and focus. Wow, I want one with an underwater housing! Time to go play with the sharks!
