As you might expect, however, that's not quite as simple as a firmware upgrade, and currently requires a 34-node network to keep watch on a standard living room, which is apparently enough to pin down moving objects within a meter or so.

We see, however, sustained demand from the logic sector as the planned 28 nanometer node strategic build-up to a worldwide capacity of 300, 000 wafer starts per month is expected to be achieved by mid-2013, and as the 22 nanometer logic ramp will start in the second half of next year.

Between this and the promise of plenty of forthcoming functionality through official channels and open-sourcing, the Node will continue to grow into a more enticing proposition.
While similar gadgets like Scanadu (also at CES) focused solely on health, NODE wants to be a jack-of-all-trades sensor.

Initial wafer runs on 32-nanometer process node suggest a quick ramp to high yields in 2010 and minimal additional development outlays.
And so it allows us to provide customers with the ability to go to a browser and request a 10-gigabyte, single-node database, or a two 20-gigabyte database, two-node.

Each node has 2-8 Xeon 5650 processors providing 6-48 coes and up to 768 GB of RAM, 1.3 TB of Fusion-io ioDrive PCIe flash cards and a mid-layer of up to 1.2 TB of Intel SSD storage.

To find the body's secret weapon, scientists remove cells from a lymph node - a part of the circulation system used by immune cells, but which also often forms a "staging post" for cancer as it spreads around the body.
Each node contained a small processor, a sensor and a low-powered radio with just enough power to talk to adjacent nodes and the network was just smart enough to reconfigure itself to reroute data whenever one node got damaged.
