At least 10 clues with an asterisk (*) in this technology-themed crossword puzzle are pulled from this past week's (1/29 - 2/2) "Tech Industry Headlines" column on the RF Cafe homepage A couple even include Super Bowl-related news. For the sake of all the avid cruciverbalists amongst us, each week I create a new technology-themed crossword puzzle using only words from my custom-created related to engineering, science, mathematics, chemistry, physics, astronomy, etc. Enjoy! cruciverbalist: [noun] cruci- ("cross") + verbal ("words") + -ist ("agent, person") -- A person who constructs crosswords.
