You good gerbils may have shown me the light. So if I were to purchase a Nexus 5 I could use it on any network off contract (Cricket, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc...) on a month-to-month basis? I'm in Boston and Sprint looks to have good coverage and a $50 /mo unlimited data plan. I've been using Verizon ...

It would be a no-brainer for me IFF it had an sd slot. Until unlimited data is ubiquitous I feel this is a necessity. I currently have a Motorola Droid Razr M with a 64 GB sd card. I no longer need to carry around an Ipod - it's all in the phone. You might say just use wifi, however I frequently tak...
Biggest risk seems whether the merchant will be familiar/comfortable/willing to accept it. It doesn't really look like a normal credit card. Sure, it is technologically a step backwards compared to NFC (I'm assuming that's what you mean by "tap your wallet"), but it requires no additional...
I know a few people ordering this thing. It seems like there are a lot of flaws and too many unknowns at this point. Does anyone see regular, everyday transactions going in this direction vs. something like google wallet or some other NFC phone technology?

Can anyone make a suggestion for/against using ECC memory with a ZFS FreeNAS build? I've read some strongly cautionary posts from people saying ECC is basically required...?
I actually bought a 64GB Sandisk microSD for my phone that went belly-up after six months. On the plus side their RMA service is pretty good so I got a new one within a week or so.
Actually what is the problem with plugging in a USB drive? Just the unsightly nature of a stick outside the case? You can always get something internal and tape the stick inside the case. That and it would be nice for the box to be fully contained. Also worried about accidents with a USB stick stic...
I suggest using FreeNAS and ZFS. I built a low end AMD system (A4-5300, Gigabyte GA-F2A85XM-D3H, 8GB RAM) plus 3 2TB WD Green drives late last year, and it's been rock solid ever since. I admit that I don't have power usage statistics for it, but I've had no problems just using an old flash drive f...
You're doing it wrong. Spend a little bit more for a good Synology NAS. You'll get much more compact device, with unbeatable power consumption and very good built-in management tools (as well as mobile apps). John - I was looking at the pre-built Synology boxes and they come with good reviews. I'm ...
