I am really interested in the possibilities offered via Odroid-XU3. It is possibly the first general-use ARM machine using the big.LITTLE (this one is 4x 2GHz Cortex-A15 and 4x 1.4 GHz Cortex-A7 in one package) design which I have seen for public sale. Previous examples I have seen (other users of Exynos5 SoC) have not been easily adapted for uses beyond their specific deployments.

Unfortunately, I am having trouble finding a concise answer to some questions I have regarding how the scheduler even manages this situation (since schedulers have historically assumed homogeneous computational resources): (thread on Odroid forums). This seems like a really fascinating technical challenge so it would be interesting to hear more details of how this solution has been approached.

Seems like an impressive system but I do still hope we will start seeing these kinds of machines built with more memory, in the near future. 2G is a little on the tight side (of course, wanting to use one of these as a primary home system is probably an unusual use-case, anyway).

I am having trouble finding information explaining what this feature does. The UI makes it sound almost like it is connected to the submission flow but also seems to come across more like a minimalist blogging system.

Is it both: a blogging system which can be easily promoted to a front-page story, if others find it insightful?

If anyone can point me to some authoritative information, that would really help.
