You beat me to it. Just like when I tried to nab the last space in the car park, but someone else took it first.
Through Top Sites I have a 6x4 grid of thumbnails of my favourite websites. Looked gimmicky first time I saw it, but actually I find it a quick visual way to start my browsing session.
Bollocks - misread the summary. I thought it was saying they're building a wind farm in China.
providing enough power to meet the electrical needs of around 150,000 American homes.
California really are getting desperate. Also, that's a long cable; they'd better crank the voltage to reduce resistive loss...
And what American advertiser is going to want to place ads for videos that are seen in countries where they may not even have an establishment?
There's a huge opportunity being missed here - international targeted ads based on your locality using IP geolocation. McDonald's could pay megabucks for generic worldwide ads, while Tony's Steak House could pay a few thousand dollars for highly targeted ads in Rochester MN. That would really throw the Internet cat amongst the TV network pigeons.
Metallica make music? When did that start then?
I thought they were just a copyright lobby group?

...or sending about 400 DVDs per second
That's just about enough to cope with today's worldwide porn output, but what happens when the industry switches to Blu-Ray?
I'm in a certain mode before I see some movies I'd rate them quite a bit differently
Absolutely. Every single film I first saw on a plane ranks very low for me.
The Sydney Opera House has closed loop saltwater cooling for their A/C - they feed the saltwater pipes a plate of zinc every year, which is used as a sacrificial metal to avoid corrosion. Pretty clever
32 GB Intel SSD, and that would be more then enough for your average laptop
I work and play on my laptop. It's my only computer - a fact that makes my life easier. Here's my storage requirements on top of OS/apps:
My laptop drive lets me carry everything but video without an external HD. Back at home, I have full-size external drives for the video and for backups. Let me know when 512GB SSDs cost less than a Burton Custom.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
