Visit the website at http://wearables.stanford.edu and you’ll be looking at
pages from a server the size of a matchbox. The server, which is the world’s
smallest at 44 by 70 by 6 millimetres, was created by computer scientist Vaughan
Pratt of Stanford University as part of a project to make “wearableâ€
computers—powerful computers so small they can be hidden in the user’s
clothes. The server is made of off-the-shelf components, with a 486 processor
that runs a stripped-down version of the Linux operating system using only 16
megabytes of chip memory instead of a hard drive.
