My objection is that they're called smart meters, an actual smart meter would do something useful for the consumer like have a wireless webpage showing current and historical usage to help the consumer cut usage. It would also be very handy for detecting slow leaks.
How many water companies have analysis software that looks for slow leaks and then informs the consumer if they think they have one?
'should', 'should be'.
Oh why can't we edit slashdot? Disqus allows editing and it doesn't implode.
And how many of these drives protect against bit rot? Protection be built in as standard with Reed-Solomon error correction (magic afaik) or similar.
HDDs are of course faster at the beginning and slow towards the end. Not one graph in several pages of benchmarks showed how these drives compared after the first few gigabytes of storage.

Anybody sense a BIG dangerous bubble here?
No. Ad spend simply followed society as they moved from TV to internet, there's nothing bubble about that, the internet is not a fad.
Right now all this advertize-to-eachother garbage

Kim was a thin character set in some weird dull bond lair type place in the middle of no-where. It made expendables 3 look like an awesome film and was about as funny.
Human rights pffft who needs them, Cameron's getting rid of them soon:
Cameron's pledge to scrap Human Rights Act angers civil rights groups.
And it flushes itself! Awesome, where can I get one.
Recognise gestures - no.
Snow, 200% no, it can't even handle rain.
I'd bet that it'll be well over a decade before they have a car that can drive without the map-every-inch-first system, and it'll still very much be an early prototype.
So, it's been decided that N'Korea attacked Sony and that is good enough reason to attack the whole countries internet.
Guilty until proven innocent, attack 1st, check facts later.
Never mind the only evidence points to some amateurs who have to use translation software to get their message across... I bet google keep a log of everything translated, I wonder if the hackers message went through them.
Slashdotted apparently.
