Note To Self: Greg Rucka And More

Michael Perry of the TV series Persons Unknown commented here.

He mentioned a TV series called The Sandbaggers.

I asked around on Twitter about that and John Rogers of Leverage also pointed me to Greg Rucka and his Queen & Country comic books.

It turns out I already had at least one of Rucka’s novels in my Kindle Samples, The Last Run, which also turns out to be a Queen & Country novel.

This post is to remind me to buy the whole bloody lot of things here to read and to watch.

If you’ve been a fan of Rubicon, it all sounds like something of related interest.

This is not good news at all, really: Honeycomb to Require Powerful Processor, Screen: OEM

Google’s new Android Honeycomb tablet OS will require a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor to run properly, said Bobby Cha, managing director of Korean consumer electronics firm Enspert.

That means that many existing Android tablets will not be upgradeable to Honeycomb, as they lack the processor necessary to meet the spec. Currently, Nvidia’s Tegra 2 platform is the only chipset in products on the market to include a Cortex-A9, although other manufacturers have said they’re moving to the new processor architecture for 2011 products.

A 1,280×720 screen resolution may also be necessary, although Cha affirmed that “Honeycomb does not require 10-inch [screens] … it’s going to go as small as 7 inch.”
