Why haven't I never thought about emulating the server on the client. Thanks for the idea!
The only downside is that playon.tv doesn't support HD content on XBMC.

Requiring a running server is IMHO against the idea of having a HTPC.
Does playon.tv support HD content from Netflix?

IMHO, the best solution might be a a new round of massive discounts after Windows 8.1 is released. This applies also elsewhere than just China. The only solution to get people to adopt Windows 8 is to get them to upgrade from Windows 7 and a really cheap price like $19.99 is the only option for MS.

Defy XT does have an "official" update to ICS but it was only released in China. There is a guide how to flash it to your phone as well. Obviously I am not responsible if anything goes wrong.

Taking a rapid CRP test from a patient should give your wife and other GP's the argument against/for antibiotics. CRP 10 = no antibiotics.

I've been toying with the idea lately. Create a Kickstarter-type website where companies could ask certain amount of money for a game/program and if the goal is reached they will release the source.

I bought a desktop for our nursing station at work. The requirement was: "as cheap as possible" so I got them a basic HP desktop with Windows 7 and Office Starter. Add to that Windows Live Mail and Powerpoint Viewer and everything works perfectly and looks like a regular office PC.
Nursing home where I work at the moment has a extremely tight budget and the money we have goes to taking care of the patients.

I would recommend HD7770 as it consumes a lot less power compared to HD5770/6770 and the cheapest ones cost around $110 - $120.
