NewLogic Goes WiLD, Combining Bluetooth, 802.11x. WiLDBOOST integrates NewLogic's 802.11a/b/g IP solution with its established BOOST Bluetooth baseband as a single solution. [allNetDevices Wireless News]

I was talking about Blutooth to my wife last night, and explaining that I was hesitant to start getting the devices becaus of the current price point. I then pointed out that I was willing to get a enw type of network interface only once it was in the $50.00 range, and I realized that this was the sweet spot in pricing. You are no longer paying the "early adopter tax", and likely, the system has then hit market saturation to the point that you will have enough of a variety of vendors to allow you to choose one that you prefer.

By integrating the Bluetooth and various 802.11 standards into on chipset/core, you get into some pretty crazy economies of scale, since you no longer need a set of chips to handle networking. If NewLogic can this chipset adopted as a standard piece by  some of the larger Electronics Manufacturing Services, they will then have an in with the market that will allow them to flourish.

How did I miss this? a material that is 12x stronger than steel, assembled in a matrix of traingles and pyramids. It's a carbon fiber.fiberglass composite. Given that it's a composite, I imagine that it will have better vibration handling abilities, so for vehicles there would be less chance of failure due to ongoing usage.

Combine this with flyweight (flyash) concrete, and you have a lightweight structure that is better suited for handling heavy loads, as well as long term stress on structures and lasting durability.
