Our long national nightmare is over. No, not that one. This one. According to posts on social media, Apple has completed installation of the more durable rainbow arches found within the circular campus. Readers may recall that the six color arches were removed for mysterious reasons a while back. The explanation, it turns out, was simply that Apple was working on a more permanent version of the structure that was originally intended to be decoration around a temporary stage. As of this week,

Modern 6502 Posted: March 27, 2016 Updated: April 16, 2016 Introduction A few years ago while searching for electronic parts, I stumbled on the Western Design Center W65C02 processor. Even though it's in a DIP packaging, which makes it easy for a hobbyist like me to breadboard, it would still have required RAM and other chips to make it useful. Considering this chip was the first processor I learned to program on, the 6502 is more like a religious thing for me so I got two of them. I ended

On Wednesday, a team of researchers from China used a paper published in Nature to describe a 32-bit RISC-V processor built using molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon as the semiconductor.

But unlike graphene, molybdenum disulfide is a semiconductor. The material has been used in a va
