I think this is funny. I remember networks used to run over coax, but then that wasn't good enough so it was all changed to cat5 cable.
If this is meant for older homes that don't want to add new wire, wouldn't the existing coax cable already be being used for cable TV/stelite etc?? Just a thought.
Why not just get a wireless box and add wireless to each machine, I think it would be cheaper. Most ISP's will give you a wireless router when you order service.
I don't think it's the manufacturers that will dislike this, as this will make phones cheaper as they can discontinue supplying a new adapter with each new phone since they will all be the same. It's the provider that's the problem. Verizon already change software and disable functions so they can charge for services that should be included already
So how long before passenger airline engines are replaced with more environment friendly ones? I find it hard to believe that there has been no advances in basic engine design in decades. You'd think by now someone could have come up with something. I'll stop now before I get into conspiracy theories
I'm all for saving energy, especially when lights are on 24 hours per day. You would think they would have used less lights since they seem brighter, and that way they could have used even less electricity.
I wonder if they are including all local HD channels in their listing. We have 3 to 5 here in Atlanta, I'm sure every other city does too, so 10 cities is 30-50 channels
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!"
