agperson··on Strike Date Set for 60k Film and Television Workers
I read the headline as "strike data set" and was really interested to see what industry data IASTE was releasing to help justify the strike to the public and build support. Alas.
agperson··on Amazon Elastic File System – Production-Ready in Three Regions
Glad to finally see this in production, wish it was available across VPC peering, VPNs, etc.
agperson··on Show HN: Endorfyn: Everything You Like
Initial impression of the site before I even get to the product is a bit confusing -- top tagline is awkwardly phrased and doesn't really convey to me what the service does.

Second Google hit seems to do a better job of explaining the service, granted, not in one sentence: http://www.andreasrandow.com/work/endorfyn/

agperson··on Google to Acquire Nest
Argh, I was just about to buy some Nest Protects, but I don't want Google sensors built into my house.
agperson··on WTF, Amazon. What The (Price) Fix?
Are you taking into account tax/VAT on the logged-in vs incognito views?
agperson··on The worst visualization I've ever seen (CNBC on the oil spill)
We're going to need a bigger cow...
agperson··on Here's why you should not buy a Drobo
I have also had a ReadyNAS (NV+) for some time and have been extremely satisfied with it. The device does not come cheap, and it isn't silent, but it is very capable, offers decent performance, and lets you access your data in a wide variety of ways (NFS, Rsync, AFP, CIFS, etc). It is relatively open as well, including allowing full root SSH login, and has various software add-ons as well.

Until an equivalent OEM product comes along that supports something like ZFS, the ReadyNAS is probably one of the best options available.
