First proposed by retro enthusiast Eivind Bohler on the VOGONS forums a year ago, the ITX-Llama project can run DOS, or even early Windows games, on an x86-compatible system-on-chip design. The Vortex86EX module, manufactured by Taiwanese company DM&P Electronics, includes a "true" x86 ISA hardware implementation with a clock rate between 100 and 500MHz.

After a horseback riding accident left him paralyzed from the waist down in 2009, former jockey Michael Straight learned to walk again with the help of a $100,000 ReWalk Personal exoskeleton. Earlier this month, that exoskeleton broke because of a malfunctioning piece of wiring in an accompanying watch that makes the exoskeleton work. The manufacturer refused to fix it, saying the machine was now too old to be serviced, and Straight once again couldn't walk anymore.
