Every Friday, I excitedly check Spark Fun to see if they offer the MPU-6050 (or even better, the MPU-6000) on a breakout board yet. Please please please do this! I'm growing impatient! It'd be nice if it had a magnetometer, but honestly, I can do without.

You know you just got put on the speed dial of everyone who works at that museum as "Free IT wizard", don't you Nate?

Seriously? $35? for an 8k Cyclone II? You can get a 16k Cyclone III for $27 off Altera's website and it has 3x the number of multipliers, >3x the RAM, and runs faster. OR you can pick up that exact same Cyclone II part for $20. Why can't we get a decent FPGA for a decent price?

No, csloser is definitely right. Solar cells have a maximum power sweet-spot (Pmax). You can never draw the short-circuit current (Isc) at the open-circuit voltage (Voc). Pmax < Voc*Isc.

Profit isn't the only motive for people to develop and share ideas. That's a big part of what makes open source software and hardware and many of the ideas behind web 2.0 (pardon the clich?) so viable. People work on open source software and write wikipedia articles and share arduino projects not for profit but to satisfy their need to create and contribute to something larger than themselves.
People are motivated by more than just money because money alone can only help you ascend the base levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. -
pft! I only buy chargers that are 3x more expensive, hold half as many batteries, and are made of white plastic: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC500?mco=MTM3NTAxNDI#overview

Just being nit-picky, but it's the iPhone 4, not the iPhone 4G (it isn't a 4G device).
No public wish lists :(
