  Branding is not for people. Branding is for cattle. Branding is for slaves. Do you imagine it’s a coincidence that branding is for property?

The Sheeva boxes... they cost $100 and they don't have 802.11 interfaces. That has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Compare with this [disclosure: I work for the company that produces them], which does have an 802.11n radio and sells for the same price. Of course, it doesn't run Linux and the firmware is locked down tighter than even the goddamn iPhone, but hey... are you really going to want to hack your wall wart? Really?
