They should look into some resources able to make/redesign/re-architect their site to have ALL offered services available for more than a few hours at a time. From downtime of days, to on-and-off access through their mobile apps, to services unavailable at all hours of the day, via their "standard" web presence ... how much of this will Hadoop address?!?

+1 (or +n)!!! - absolutely the most network-security-sysadmin friendly smartphone. SSH client, Cisco compatible VPN client (try to do that reliably in Android!), nmap, metasploit, wireshark, etc - you name it - it's there ... I had this smartphone for over a year and the only drawback to it is lack of support for the so-called 4G in the T-Mobile market in the US.

I'd rather have a Smartsoldier for Every Phone

Link-in with whom it may make sense, professionally only (Linkedin = mostly professional social network, vs. Facebook, Twitter, Socialedian, FriendFeed, Myspace, etc.) but definitely do NOT link with coworkers - it would make no sense (although I work in a company where almost all office employees have linked w/each other, to the point that no one can handle the internal "social noise").

I wonder if this would be as costly as my last one ... before, during and after divorce ?!?

You don't need a 6600GT, but its not because its lacking a TV tuner. A lot of people that build an HTPC for Tivo-like functionality (and are demanding a full ATX board in the first place) intend to use standalone hardware-encoding cards like the Hauppauge PVR150 card. The 6600GT is a fine card for gaming, possibly overkill for HTPC duty unless you're outputting to a HDTV and using it to decode DVDs.

I had a Geforce 4 Ti4200 in my HTPC until the fan on it died recently (for the 3rd time). I picked up a GF5200 to replace it, and haven't notice a great deal of improvement in DVD playback (I get an occasional jitter).
