Ever watch a movie on TV only to have something interupt it? And you’re like “doh, what happens next?” That’s what reading this article from ars technica is like. It just whets your appetite and then leaves you hanging.

So, well, no news really. But I’m a programmer, so I thought it was quite a tease that I’d share with all you technical folks out there.
