Not that it is going to help them, but let's cheer them anyways as they race on October 8.
Anyone know if they have an edge over the other challengers?

Nice. Too bad they choose that horrible Touareg.

I wish them all the best. The best part it's being done with Mac OS X on a Mac mini.

Yeah, but it's the user experience that counts.
And who cares about raw computing power, especially when the red team's vehicle won't be able to run Garage Band, Pages, or iMovie?

It is the A.I. routine that counts. Windows, OSX or Linux don't matter. It was great that they got to use the iSights though
