That was a great article.

I love the idea of the heartbeat feature. Is that a real feature of the iwatch?

You'd think, but most consumer equipment is abandonware and the firmware isn't updated once a newer model is out.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it looks like if you could install a system font on a computer then you could create a unique fingerprint for that computer that is detectable by any website?

I am uniquely identifiable out of the 3.7 million samples because of my system fonts.

I have a boxee and I'd been thinking about how to implement this for a while.

It seems like it should be possible to have a box act as a web server proxy where it mirrors a web page to several displays.

It would be pretty slick if you could get a simple http proxy to support screen mirroring like this, because then it wouldn't matter what combination of set top box / phone / tablet you have... you could mirror anything.

except for the fact that you couldn't tell up from down in the dark because it was symetrical.

It was really annoying when you went to pause, and instead turned netflix on.

xbox 360 media player was never able to handle mkv files (unless there's been an update in the 2 years that I've had my 360 powered down)

There was also that xbox 360 dashboard update that downgraded the playback quality of avi files.
