"About the Size of a Grain of Rice:" This is the world's smallest computer

temperature-sensing.jpg
At just one millimeter cubed, the Michigan Micro Mote (M^3) is the smallest autonomous computer in the world....
Despite its tiny size, the M^3 has the ability to take pictures, read temperatures and record pressure readings. Researchers hope to implement the microcomputer into a variety of applications ranging from medical to industrial purposes. Due to its micro-size, the M^3 can actually be injected into the body, where it can then perform ECGs and also take pressure and temperature readings. The oil industry is also interested in inserting the Micro Mote into oil wells to help detect pockets of oil that can still be extracted before moving on to new sources. - CBS News

Your Say

There is no mention of an interface, how to give orders and receive data from the units.
Power supply is another thing they left out. It won't run on good intentions.

My uncle Letsgo Lozko, King of the Bantam Chickens, he helped me with a school project for show-and-tell.
We got a piece of cardboard and some toothpicks and some Styrofoam balls and made a model of our solar system.
Drew circles and painted the balls, one red, one green and blue, so forth. I used a pipe cleaner for Saturn's rings.
Right at the center I stuck a larger ball painted yellow. It was the sun.

I used that project for three years before the thing fell apart. It's the sun. Right in the middle? It's the sun.

You could dust a city easier than with anthrax. Random application would yield, what? fifty percent?
Smile, don't smile.
Yeah motherfucker, we're looking at you.

Rural application would get similar results although I think it should be linked to infrared. Wouldn't want twelve hours of looking at a rock.

Lifespan due to small size need not be more than an hour or two if the target is pre-selected.

George Orwell's 1984 reads like a kinneygarden book compared to what malevolence is being turned out now.

I'm tellin' ya folks, we're doomed. Boots and steel is the only way out. Some discreet low level nukes or EMPs and street by street mopping up.
