| | I found an interesting article about WIMP, the de facto interface for every modern operating system to date. It stands for Windows, Icons, Mouse, Pointer, which is basically what all modern OSs interfaces are made of. WIMP works pretty well, but it was invented a long time ago, when the first macintosh came out. Anyway, I kinda agree with the article, I think that there could be a better interface out there, though I have no idea. Do you think we should keep WIMPs, redisgn it, or completely rebuild?
you can find the article here |

What Is Phase Change Cooling?
and how does it work? (14) I first came across phase change cooling when I bought the Zalman CNPS9500 heat sink. Basically
the base of it (which is pure copper) is connected to what is being called "Heat Pipes (also pure
copper)" and then a bunch of little copper "Fins" are attached to that. The fan sits perpendicular
not parallel to the base which is why I bought it. I was curious as to how it could cool better than
some water cooling that I decided to do a little research. I found out that the "Pipes" are actually
hollow and they are filled with some type of liquid that at room temperature is ....
