On Wednesday, at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, Palm opened up its Mojo Software Development Kit (SDK) program to a "broad group of developers."

Vibration and noise, unless compensated, could render it useless before it reaches orbit so researchers spend a lot of time on complex computer simulations that help them insulate the delicate craft. Now those simulations are about to get much more accurate thanks to a new supercomputer that began work this week in Japan.

But you don't need a powerful external battery to get more use out of your current battery. There are several things you can do now to extract precious additional minutes from the basic six-cell battery found in most laptops.

Of these, battery life is rarely a primary concern until the system is actually purchased. The unspoken expectation is that standard batteries will get 3 to 4 hours of useful life from a single charge, while batteries with more cells can add a couple of hours of working time to this number.
