teh toilet won't have a transparent door, so no, nobody will see you while you're in there
What you see is just a concept drawing/movie, in reality toilet cabin will have a proper enclosure with a door and forced ventilation (exhaust fan), same goes for shower cabin.
Yea, I remember receiving the similar letter from Echostar a long time ago for buying a SmartCard programmer (to test teh smartcard authorization feature in Win2k) from an online store which was later raided by the police and then closed permanently... Just threw the letter into garbage and never heard from EchoStar again.
"not great"? Compared to what, the same model with pure gasoline engine? By looking at EPA's data I'd have to disagree - the current 2008 Cayenne with smallest engine gets a 16MPG average (and 14MPG in city cycle):

Such thing will work properly, you'll just have to read teh instructions more carefully where there will be said (in a very tiny, barely visible print) something like "for best results, use detergent" or "in order for the magic process of separating ions to work properly, you must add our "special secret formula" every time you use your machine (obviously the "secret formula" will be a generic, unlabeled detergent)" :-P
The HQV ("Hollywood Quality Video") chip that this player will have is made by Silicon Optix company, it is their registered trademark, Samsung has nothing to do with it (other than putting it in a couple of their players).
Yes, the PSU itself is NOT being cooled by water, it simply has a radiator inside which is used to cool CPU. The whole thing is pretty dumb from an engineering point of view - the already warm air from inside of the case is passing through that radiator and then (being heated up even more by the radiator) is passing over the PSU's components. That will significantly shorten the life of PSU's components and might cause the PSU to simply shut down due to overheating (if you have a pretty hot CPU and a hot room with no A/C).
There is free information on internet??? No way!!! Wow!!!111 I'm really shocked!!111
LOLz, what a pathetic article... Microsoft (just like ANY manufacturer/assembler of non-necessary goods) has a right to charge ANY price for this HDD unit - $100, $180, or even $300, regardless of how much it really costs them to manufacture/assemble it, because it's their own product (well, not HDD itself but the whole assembled unit, with its plastic enclosure and whatever else is inside) and they don't break any laws (by charging whatever price they want to for this non-necessary product), so whether YOU think you're "getting ripped off" or not is absolutely irrelevant. You don't like it - don't buy it, as simple as that. Seriously, it's as pathetic and as useless as complaining about, say, Alienware charging $4,000 for their custom PC even though you can, for example, buy same exact parts that this particular Alienware PC has from some online shop for $2,000 less and assemble them into a working PC all by yourself.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
