These police are complete fucking idiots if they think this was the motive. It's quite obvious the objective wasn't theft, it was just to cause damage.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity/greed.
search for streacom fc8 as the case. then, stay under 65w (to be safe) and you can be fully fanless.
for htpc use, there is NO reason to ever have a fan, again. even the i3 has a 35w chip that works just fine for movies and desktop stuff.
At $190 for the case alone, I can think of at least a hundred reasons not to build a fanless box.
i can think of at least 190 reasons to use ARM over x86.
a nice fanless i7 (haswell) build, with the magic being a heatpipe heatsink case and a 45w i7 chip:
heat pipes, that's cute. i rather stick to ARM chips and save money on both processor and cooling.
pff... call me when you get serious and put an ARMv8 processor in there.
I would be more impressed with a paper by people who could actually make the software these guys theorize about, rather than sophomoricaly discussing it.
umm... who exactly "could actually make the software these guys theorize about"? the whole world is dying to know an frankly i would love to chat with the person that makes mankind obsolete.
As long as they can enable/disable features in your graphics card, you are being controlled by them.

google glass is no longer being sold, so there is literally no competition between the two.
biking, running and rowing are just the tip of the iceberg! i cant wait for them to release the YARD WORK SIMULATOR!
if nothing else, it provides a ARMv8 (64bit and 8 cores) dev board that doesn't cost multiple internal organs.
NEXT QUESTION!
Does it run Linux?
of course it does, it's Android, you clown.
clearly you have never driven in DC or NYC.
Google has a good amount of people that have been working on this since the DARPA days and effectively already have a working prototype. Unless Uber is hiring people that have been working on the Google project, they are sadly mistaken if they think they can beat Google too the punch.
seriously, this is a news story, use the fucking words they fucking wrote you fucking fucks. worse yet, they were used in quotes meaning it's literally a misquote.
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
