Silicon-based polymers are ideal for use in a range of space and low-earth-orbit (LEO) applications. They are flexible through a wide range of temperatures, resistant to vibration and cracking, and unaffected by high vacuum.

Silicon Casino was a one-player gambling game published in 1994 for Apple’s entry into the PDA field, the less than successful Newton MessagePad. The game turned the Newton’s screen into a casino room where the player could use the Newton’s stylus to drag coins and cards around the screen and gamble virtual money on baccarat, blackjack, craps, poker, or slot machines. If the player ran out of money, he or she could “borrow” more to continue playing, so it was impossible to go broke.
Silicon Casino included extensive sound files and explanations of each game’s rules, which unfortunately made the file so big that it could not fit in the Newton’s memory without the addition of extra RAM. The graphics, however, were plain and monochrome, due to the limitations of the Newton’s display. Reviewing Silicon Casino in the online Macintosh newsletter TidBITS in 1994, Mark H. Anbinder noted “For users in search of a quick diversion, though, the fancy graphics won’t be missed.”
The game was programmed by John Calhoun (then a shareware developer, now a member of the Macintosh programming team), published by Casady & Greene, and sold for $59.95. It is now considered abandonware, and cracked versions can be found on the Web. Read the rest of this entry »
