The web elves have been hard at work improving Embedded.com. The first thing they did was throw out the old search function and replace it with one powered by Google. We think you'll like it much better.

We've also added a new feature called Shop Talk, a roundtable discussion among some of the industry experts who write for Embedded.com and Embedded Systems Programming and participate as instructors and advisory board members for the Embedded Systems Conferences. An outspoken crew, they'll weigh in on any controversial issue that even remotely touches on embedded systems development. In their debut effort, they offer their opinions of electronic voting technology.
