Learns Some at Arduino Night

Arduino wasn't created by Atmel. Arduino was done open source and they happened to use Atmel. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN runs on Arduino (whatever "run" means in this context) They've put Arduino in space. Big thing for me today was Microview. Looks like I can take it, hack it and build the reminder magnet. (Geek Ammo and Cocreators, with manufacturing by Sparkfun - what a success story Sparkfun!) What does the guy who told me about Arduino in LHC estimate it'll take - about 6 months for a team. You're talking just 80k for the app alone. A lot of people think you can build an app for 2k. You should be prepared to spend at least a 100k on a product mensch sagt. This tiny thing can be 300k - come on man, really? Then what's the point of a PhD in Computational Math?
