Found and read the November 2010 issue of Wired - perhaps the cleavage on the cover led it to be quickly and quietly filed away.
Nice issue - cover story about breast reconstruction options through the use of stem cells harvested from fat cells in the body of the patient. Breasts are seen as a potential early use of the technology given to the relatively low risk of death in reconstruction when compared to hearts or other organs. Recovery from mastectomy and lumpectomy with few side-effects, low post-surgical trauma/recovery (same day home) and positive 6 and 12 month follow ups are all good. Long term fear of recurrence or incubation of potential cancer sites is a concern that can't be addressed given the short history of use. Heart attack and other key potential uses mean that this is a tech to watch.
Nice article on the origin of the computer - a pre-ENIAC, much smaller, binary device that was completed before the start of the ENIAC project......Background on attempts to dethrone TicketMaster for ticket sales and distribution....
