I have a server to download/store my media with 8 external HDs. I bought a cheapo 10 port USB hub and kept buying HDs as they filled up. The player user to be wdtv live but now is Raspberry Pi 2 with OSMC on it, accessing the external drives as a share. No RAID, no expensive NASes, everything works. Cheap, effective.

I use a guillotine for cutting PCBs and since it shears rather than cuts there is pretty much no dust generated.

Why new anything? things are perfect as they are!

Down here in Oz we are already way down the list in terms of speeds, uptake and prices... If Libs and Abott get in power and scrap NBN (they are good at selling public assets off, they have had plenty of practice), we are definitely consigned to being an internet banana republic...

What's the point of a chipset capable of 1080p playback if it cannot drive a 1080p screen? Fair enough you won't have a 1920x1080 resolution screen in your phone or tablet device (not yet) but I for one wouldn't mind being able to connect my new 1080p capable device to a TV or monitor to playback 1080p at proper resolution.

Being reflective or emitting has nothing to do with use of e-ink in e-readers. Main advantage of e-ink displays is that they only draw power when the display is updated, they don't consume any power to maintain the image unlike LCD or OLED displays which makes them a lot more power-efficient. However with every e-ink display having a mechanical component (little ink particles are moved around by electric fields) their refresh rate is relatively slow in comparison to an LCD or OLED which makes them unsuitable as a general purpose computer display. Since e-reader display mostly static content (text, no animation) an e-ink display is perfect for that purpose, offering much lower power consumption.

Yeah... so last century. I wanna see this done in Javascript.

Also reminds me of Twilight or Gloom concept from the Watch trilogy (Nightwatch movie)
