(The sequel to yesterday's Matrix Problem Reloaded)
Wikipedia on the sci-fi weblog io9.com—
Newitz explained the significance of the name "io9":
"Well, io9s are input-output devices that let you see into the future.
They're brain implants that were outlawed because they drove
anyone who used one insane. We totally made that (device) up
to name the blog."

From io9.com itself—
"Science fiction writer Ken MacLeod has another term for io9ers.
He calls them rapture fuckers.*"
For the relevance of the term "revolutions" in this post's title, see
Wikipedia on Ken MacLeod.
I prefer to associate the number 9 with The Holy Field.
* MacLeod used this phrase in one of his novels, Newton's Wake.
