    lol @ hank —

    while this article proved completely uninteresting to the likes of me, a many-times-a-day reader of hackaday, hackszine and makezine blogs, this mass exposure to DIY culture could begin the downfall of the death grip certain companies (namely those named after fruit) have on the consumer electronics market.
