I think one of the rules of any fiction writing at all, be it sci-fi, fantasy, or any other kind is this: Keep the technobabble to the absolute minimum required to do the job. Someone once taught me that fact ages ago, and I've stuck to it. Sure, as a geek, long, long pages with detailed explanations of how a given object functions is fun and exciting for me to read. For the 99% of other readers, it's not. So I always take that into account when telling about anything these days. If it ain't relevant to the plot, keep it to yourself. :P
