On the original post about liquidmetal, some other commenter smarter than myself pointed out that the material would be very useful for efficient springs. And efficient springs could be used for self-winding watch mechanisms. That way, your iphone could re-charge itself just by being carried around in your pocket.

Whaa? no LEGO Antikythera Mechanism?

@retrac13: Er, in light of SilentAssassn87's comment, I guess it was the trick Hemsey played. Regardless, its pretty cool.

@EljhHck: I too am a fan of the Zimmer.

@Audemars: It's interesting, you can actually kinda make out the border in the plains. It's like there are lots of connections among Canadians, and among Americans, but relatively few that cross the border. As a result, there's that dark stripe through the plains.

@MifuneT: Ah! You beat me to it!

@dragonfliet: For many years, black and white WAS a style choice, and not a technological limitation.

I really like the red and blue arrows slapped onto number 3.

For that brief interval in between when my brain registered the image, and when it read the text, my heart hiccuped with joy at the thought of Homeworld 3.
