As a heads up, like the commenter on your blog mentioned, you can write to `/dev/rdisk?` to speed up your transfer. You can also view dd's progress by using pv (available in Homebrew) like: `pv /path/to/image.iso | sudo dd of=/dev/rdisk? bs=?M`

That aside, interesting article. All these new ultra-cheap computers are exciting.
