redletterdave writes "Dell is reportedly working on a project codenamed 'Ophelia,' a USB-sized self-contained computer that provides access to virtually every major operating system from the Mac OS, to Windows, to Google's Chrome OS, to cloud-based solutions from Citrix and Dell all via the cloud. Powered by Android, Ophelia works just like a USB port: Just plug it into any flat panel monitor or TV, and boom, you have a computer. Ophelia connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi, and can connect to keyboards and other peripherals over Bluetooth. Not only is the computer portable and power-efficient, but to make it truly accessible, Dell plans to sell the device for just $50."

Home Automation

Remember if YOU set up a HA system, only YOU will know how to fix, repair, update, modify it. Do not expect anyone else to know what it is, does, works, connections, power, programming, etc. This is for YOUR edification only while you live there! Do NOT expect it to add to the sale price of the house. You could provide all the documentation in the world, and unless the new owner can have a professional come in and certify, sanctify, purify and bless it, it's worthless. Nobody but you knows how it works nor how to fix it. The new owner, unless he is some weirdo hacker looking for a challenge will probably rip it out.
