Speed of Light Microwave Oven but also WI-FI

Ok, Labor day. Science is back. 

Watch this video to see how to measure the Speed of Light with a Microwave Oven. Very well done explanation.

We are waiting for the new iPhone to come out in September this year. Here is something to think about until then.

How Much do you think an iPhone would have cost in 1991 if it came out.

It was possible but at a price. Maybe not the same size. The iphone has about 13 different independant devices built into that you would have to make in 1991. Can you guess how much.

I am not sure if you are following the Aero supreme court case (my guess is you are not) but this decision to not allow streaming of the cable is sad news. 

I am not sure of the future impact on innovation in this area. You will see it affect you (online viewing) in other ways.
Here is the letter from the CEO that he just released.
