No Skype, Angry Birds on Nokia Lumia 610 Windows Phone 7
Nokia Lumia 610 restricted from more Windows Phone apps - SlashGear
"Microsoft opened up Windows Phone to devices with lower specifications, prompting phones like the Lumia 610 with an 800Mhz processor and only 256MB of RAM to play with... Last week Nokia and Microsoft pulled Skype for the Lumia 610, but other apps including Angry Birds, PES 2012, and Tango refuse to install."

SpaceX Dragon, Case for Mars, 100 years Startship

importance of (time/money) constraints for such goals.
SpaceX
Dr. Robert Zubrin: The Case for Mars
Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist, best-selling author, and popularizer of science. He’s the co-founder of string field theory (a branch of string theory), and continues Einstein’s search to unite the four fundamental forces of nature into one unified theory.
