You could always hook your raid array up to your network to access stuff.

The latest Samsung TV's play all sorts of video. I have a UE46C8000 and it plays every video file on my NTFS hard drive, .avi's, mp4's and mkv's alike, with subtitle support also.

Transitional metal bands more likely.

The pirate bay is down/up so often is it worth reporting everytime? If it was going to go down for an extended period then yes, but its barely been 24hrs.

Paying $4000 for a hard drive is one thing, but how fast is it? Slapping what I assume to be a ton of chips together wont make for an impressive benchmark. If I had the cash to blow on this sort of thing I would rather raid together a bunch of and small fast ssd's than 1 big one.

What happens when someone breaks the security on the device/ technology? A thief would be able to get into your house and rob everything, make an escape in your car, and then empty your bank account all for cracking just 4 numbers. I think I'll stick to the old manual lock and key thank you.

Slashdot requires a mouse over for links to work properly, touching links on my Win 7 tablet (using Firefox) simply highlights links (such as comments, more stories etc), a second touch 'click' is required on almost everything on Slashdot. So yes, Slashdot, to me at least, is an abomination.

I only hope that they roll out to the places even virgin media doesn't reach. There is nothing worse than living in a house which only option is a flaky 1mb connection thanks to the ancient BT copper wiring :/

My win 7 tablet works perfectly for multi-touch interface, and scrolling is just a matter of dragging your finger anywhere on the screen, just like the iphone/ipod touch. Also right clicking is easy to pull off in win 7, you put a finger on what you want, then tap with a second finger nearby.

The only problem I find with the using the win 7 interface is the circle toggles when your in some settings window, too small a target to hit, although how often one goes into control panel is up for debate.

Possibly it won't get mainstream, but as it is DisplayPort seems a lot more feature packed and advantageous over what firewire was over usb. I reckon its got a good chance of breaking through, but I don't see it happening anytime in the next 2 years though. I'm all for a 1-cable-that-does-everything deal so I may be a little bit blindly optimistic.
