Instead of an acid bath, have they tried bombarding the cells with slightly-greasy solar radiation?

Then the site is probably all ads anyway and can just be completely avoided. In an entire internet of sites I'm sure we won't miss that one.

TFA already does that. Heat Source->Spreader->tiny air gap with good heat transfer due to being tiny and churned->spinning heatsink/propeller.

I haven't used them, so I can't say what viewing problems they actually have, but searching for Hyundai 3D Monitor Polarization shows that at least some of the Hyundai 3D monitors use Circular Polarization (just like the RealD system at the movies), so tilting your head wouldn't have that problem.

I'm guessing the tarball gets around the "permissions are whiped-out" issue, and as the GP mentions, this is only for moving files from one *nix machine to another (not playing files off of the external drive). Seem pretty straight-forward to me. It just doesn't address the permissions problem when playing files directly off of the drive.

If you want to see the rest of the stats on this and all the other optical mouse sensor chips, check out my Optical Mouse Sensor Review site.

Also, I've seen these mouses pictured in the SetPoint device files for the past few months. I'll add them to my UberOptions mod (to enable all the extra features Logitech dumbed-down) when I get the chance.
