Oz banker caught porn-surfing on live TV

Bad Porn Shui

porn shui - the art of an internet porn surfer to position him or herself in a manner that not only obscures the provocative computer screen from public view, but also gives the surfer the ability to detect any intrusive dangers immediately.

Massive Over Reaction?

Not sure why everyone is so against this. You need to actually identify the person with some information about them, it took me quite a bit of knowledge of myself to find my number, the kind of knowledge that only someone who knows me would know.

The company then call the user and ask if they want to be connected to the person that requested the call.

Doesn't sound too much of an intrusion at all really does it?

Imagine all those forgotten conquests who want to get back in touch? I'm sure all of your phones will be literally burning........

What's the best NAS-to-TV box?

Popcorn Hour A110

I've read lots of great things about the Popcorn Hour A110. It handles almost all codecs, is upgradable, can be used as a bit torrent client, it can work from an internal hard drive or also access a NAS. If you put an internal hard drive in the Popcorn Hour it will also work as a NAS - the only problem being that it only takes one disk.

Also have you considered looking at the QNAP range of NAS. They seem very comprehensive, two of my friends have them and can't recommend them enough. I'm in the middle of rationalising my home IT and will be implementing a combination of a Popcorn Hour and QNAP NAS with necessary home powerline networking.
