Skynet starts at home.

This last week saw a slew of Apple announcements and rumors. Not only did we see a refreshed Macbook line (*drool*) but there are rumors of new 20 and 24-inch iMacs. It is also rumored that the iPhone is going downmarket - way downmarket. Even further than Best Buy. Yep, all the way down to Wal-Mart. Huh? Somehow I did not think that rednecks were the iPhone's target market.

Those of us with desktops or home media servers in need of a storage boost can now pick up a 1.5 TB drive from Seagate for a paltry $200 US shipped. Since home servers with four bays are fairly easy to get, you could have 6 TB of storage for your home network - enough for over 1200 DVDs (uncompressed). Or you could get enough processing power and RAM to, along with all that storage, start building your very own Skynet. Whatever floats your boat.
