May 8th 2008 11:16AM His major problem is that he hard-wires the USB drive to the outlet - why not wire the outlet to a female usb jack - then you can upgrade the drive inside the outlet with ease.

How to enable Time Machine on unsupported volumes {Engadget}
Nov 10th 2007 10:11AM From your link:
"According to information on Roughly Drafted, 'The problem is that integrity cannot be guaranteed — the AirPort acknowledges receipt of the data before it’s actually written, and if power is interrupted, the disk disconnected, yadayadayada in the window between the Airport acknowledging receipt and the data actually getting written out to disk, [then] it’s gone forever with no way to recover it or even realize it’s gone missing.'"
This sounds like the very same issue with the move vs. copy issue that people noticed in Leopard (though it apparently existed prior). To me, it sounds like Apple needs to work on how data is transfered between volumes.

How-To: Introduction to soldering {Hack a Day}
Oct 26th 2007 11:51AM Excellent write-up! It's always nice to see these, even when you have some experience soldering.
The one thing I would say you left off would be the typical wattage iron you would want to use (since I'm honestly not sure). Right now my iron is a crappy one from Radio Shack - I want to get a nicer one, but I don't know quite what I'm looking for.
Also, thanks for the tip cleaner - I've never seen that before! You can pick it up here: http://www.radioshack.com/sm-tip-tinner-cleaner-compound0-5-oz--pi-2062721.html
