Going Mobile

"Long Term Evolution, a new mobile telecommunications standard, is poised to revolutionize mobile Internet. High transmission rates will soon be possible on mobile devices. For this purpose Fraunhofer researchers at HHI Berlin developed the cross-layer design SVC over LTE -- a coding method that offers HD films in real-time in the appropriate format for cell phones or netbooks."

Phase Transitions
(water/steam, water/ice) always happen at the edge, never the center. (The fractal is a prime example of this universal truth.)
Phase Transitions are never linear. The day before a pond freezes over, 50% of the water's surface is ice free, something to ponder as we move into the age of Minority Report and 24/7 pervasive communications.
