Comment Yeah... (Score 1) 119

Oddly, this was on the local morning radio show today. Seemed like a decent idea. I'd love to see "this airspace is protected by trained monkeys", as it would likely provide more assurances than anything the current security theater could provide, with quantifiable results...

Wireless charging (preferably via Qi, as I have several Qi chargers between home & work) seem to be the only thing I'm not seeing listed in the specs.

I actually enjoy unplugging and doing something that doesn't require a computer now and then.

CentOS 5/6 @ work on my cluster/desktop
Android on my phone & tablet
Synology @ home for storage, so basically Linux there, too...
OpenWRT on my wireless routers (yes, plural) @ home, so Linux there *too*.

I guess you could say I run Linux...
