@mike_311: $199. Netflix support is supposed to come in a future software update. The box is linux-based so you'll see both linux and this get Netflix support at around the same time.

@S1MPD1DDY: NHL has GameCenter. Lets you watch simultaneous broadcasts, replays, and highlights. Haven't been able to get it to work on my PS3 yet, though. There's an Android app which can be had for free if you do some Googling.

If the NHL GameCenter site worked on my PS3 then I'd ditch cable. Even faking a desktop browser agent string doesn't help. It loads but won't stream anything.

@vsound: MP3s used to not be able to be played by anything, either. But in the end, you're right, the adoption will never be as widespread.

Any chart that has a Twitter feed block, p-values, and potentially deals with the flow of millions of dollars is why the Internet is awesome.

@vsound: Clearly no one has introduced you to FLAC.

Fragmentation [frag·men·ta·tion] (noun):

I leave mine on by choice for three reasons:

@helfrez: Fragmentation is a synonym for "works on more than one hardware platform" :)

@marc_unwired: Because then Gizmodo would be out of a job.!

i must resist the urge to subtly advertise my WAKKA WALLPAPER for ANDROID phones. it would be very un-starred-like of me to try and take any post that remotely looks like PAC MAN and connect it to my FREE LIVE WALLPAPER. it's a good thing i read gizmodo's comment guidelines first...

@Ridley: A guy at work has one. I thought he brought in his new LCD TV the first time he showed it to me.

@Subliminal Bukkake: But then they couldn't get you to double dip!

Cue iPhone 4 on Verizon rumors in -235432, -235433, -235434...

I prefer aliasing it as `lsd`.

@kaminskinyc: And when they do fail, you're stuck with drives using a proprietary redundancy format that only another Drobo can read. At least with ZFS and RAID the implementation is standardizes allowing any computer to read the data on those drives should their original supporting hardware fail.

Also worth mentioning with ZFS is pooling. I can have two HDDs in a RAID1 (mirror) and three in a RAID5 (raidz1) and have them all appear as a single device. I can expand storage volume by adding pools. I can expand storage by replacing drives in a pool one by one.

@ups: Depends on the hardware and/or software. A lot of the desktop software that comes with these hardware RAID controllers will automatically begin repairing a degraded array if a new drive is detected. With most you will need to boot into the RAID controllers BIOS and perform recovery from there. If you're using…

@Steven Smith: I've always always always wanted the SNES Donkey Kong franchise updated to modern graphics standards. Exact same physics and collision engine but with some beautiful full 1080p graphics.

Please tell me that the leading image is a bastardization wholly unrelated to this story and only included to emphasize the suck.
