8x is a pretty damn fast write speed for a 2MB buffer. I know Plextor have introduced a whole bunch of buffer under-run stuff, but I for one would be happier with a bit more. (especially since my hard drive is so horribly fragmented....)
8MB wouldn't (shouldn't?) be out of the question for a top of the line product such as this.
COPA makes criminals of many individuals using the internet for legitimate purposes such as providing information on anatomy... What about sex toys, dildos et al? IMHO, a picture of a dildo (on it's own...) isn't porn (well, at least, looking at a picture of a dildo in its packaging box doesn't float my boat); are purveyors of such goods criminals? Would such a site require age verification?
an hour to install XP w/ SP1 slipstreamed.. and an hour to install the 50 updates
This is a total pain in the arse for small OEM's like myself - updating your master technician computer with all the latest patches is an eleven-step process per patch. Many of these steps involve such things as:
Using Notepad, edit
\Opktools\Lang\JPN\SKU\Pro\x86\i386\Dosnet.i nf
an d
REN Q308387_WXP_SP1_X86_JPN.EXE Q308387.EXE
Here's hoping Microsoft include a "Windows Update" for OEM Pre-installs...
...after I was done, the boxes were only really suitable for servers/firewalls/routers...
I'm not totally convinced of this even... For example, why would you want a complete GCC compiler on a router or firewall ? At least with a RedHat or other distro, you can install a minimal system with iptables, no compiler or source code hanging around.
The kind of photolithography used here is based on very thick photoresists (for example, epon SU-8). If you're forming waveguide structures using these materials (i.e. patterning a channel and coating it with gold to form a guide), side-wall and top surface quality are of great importance for low-loss operation - you can't tolerate rough or wobbly waveguides.... So, Using inkjets, you'd have to figure out a way of building up multiple layers of ink or whatever to produce your pattern and also aligning each layer over the top of a previous one to pretty good accuracy.
Also, bear in mind the inkjet process is pretty much 2 dimensional - so building an antenna (ideally 3d) would pose a whole set of new problems.
Plus, I can certainly see a need to talk on the phone while looking something up -- which you can't do with an integrated unit unless you put it in speakerphone mode (or carry a plug-in earpiece/microphone).
Just a small point; Surely you'd be carrying an earpiece (or earpieces) and microphone anyhow for the MP3 playback functionality...?
Are there any tweaks/optimizations in the kernel for the xscale processor? It appears pocketpc 2002 from microsoft can't take advantage of the extra power; here's hoping linux can....
I would have like to see Tom measuring the performance of these PSU's with a UPS attached upstream. Surely the quality of the mains voltage (lack of spikes, brownouts etc) would have a measurable effect on the resulting performance of the PSU... Anyone care to comment?

Bring back RiscOS!! It did full display antialiasing over 15 years ago... Looked great on CGA displays, wasn't bloatware and ran on a 486 equivalent processor without much trouble.
Sounds to me like a vibrational mode of the water molecule: One big heavy oxygen atom with two hydrogen atoms as pendulums. They vibrate 180 degrees out of phase. It doesn't seem logical to me that they could oscillate in phase...
