  • Though they're about as small as '80s-era microsystems, these handmade-in-Minneapolis stackables deliver enough sound and power for speakers 10 times their size.

  • Microdistributors, microsystems and micro-local-community; everything will flourish, and already is.

  • Their website sometimes has some interesting little nuggets of info, but this one fell into the category of ‘read it twice to make sure you got the right end of the stick’: DARPA seeks innovative proposals to develop technology to create insect-hybrids, possibly enabled by intimately integrating microsystems within insects, during their early stages of metamorphosis.

  • It would seem that the pursuit of ˜realism™ for Einstein was more a program that had been very successful rather than an a priori commitment, and that in principle he would have accepted attempts requiring a radical change in our classical conceptions concerning microsystems, provided they would nevertheless allow to take a macrorealist position matching our definite perceptions at this scale.

  • Without a clear indication on this point there was no way to identify a mechanism whose effect could be negligible for microsystems but extremely relevant for the macroscopic ones.

  • As a matter of fact, an essential part of the program consists in proving that its predictions do not contradict any established fact about microsystems and macrosystems.

  • Moreover, no objective property corresponding to a local observable, even for microsystems, can emerge as a consequence of a measurement-like event occurring in a space-like separated region: such properties emerge only in the future light cone of the considered macroscopic event.

  • They're seeking proposals for work on creating cyborg cockroaches, beetles, and moths: DARPA seeks innovative proposals to develop technology to create insect-cyborgs, possibly enabled by intimately integrating microsystems within insects, during their early stages of metamorphoses.
