The decision to use shipping containers I know is not new. But it's f-ing brilliant.

You might as well refuse to install acrobat reader, quicktime, and a dozen others. Have fun with that.

What actually requires silverlight? The only sites I've seen so far are the link in this thread and the xbox website, but that doesn't even require it.

That's pretty intense. I like how they said to cool them they used to have to attach a fire hose, now it's just a garden hose.

Reminds me of iRobot, just waiting for a bunch of robots to jump out and fuck everyone up.
