The Difference Engine – deadline extended

Incubator/accelerator programme The Difference Engine has extended it’s deadline for applications, for various reasons, the most important being that it gives applicants worldwide longer to apply.

So it makes sense to push things back, as he explained on The Difference Engine news blog.

Just one thing though: whatever possessed them to allow Paul’s picture to be the opening image…?
