No, that's a mock-up from earlier in the year, made by Foxconn. (It's still fairly accurate, mind you - but the link above gives you a better idea of the socket/connector layout.)

7!

One of the hardest games I've ever played, ha.

I got stuck at 2 for a long time, but then finally something clicked and I got all the way to number 5!

I'd love to do that! But it's just not feasible for me, when I'm writing multiple stories a day, about very disparate topics. If it was a feature about thorium power, and I had a chance to do my research, it'd be a different story :)

(I do have quite a few expert friends who I lean on for domain expertise, but as luck would have it, my nuclear guy wasn't online when I wrote this.)

You're right, I know very little about nuclear reactors. (I'm the author.) Enough to get by, but not enough to be an authority on every variety of them.

Hopefully enough to write an interesting story, though :)

It's usually pretty quick/easy to get stuff approved for in-lab, early human trials. But yeah, much longer until it's available to the public.
