"The main purpose of this, besides my obsession with creating physical science smaller, is to form a straightforward, plug and plug headless pc," Node explained on his diary.

"Depending on what you are doing it might work well for a general headless system or server application. the tiny size additionally means that it's additional moveable, and that i might imagine it operating well for a few quite wireless access purpose, piratebox or a general node of some kind."
