If you find this interesting, you may be interested in previous discussions:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2842632 : 46 days ago, 10 comments

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3009276 : yesterday, 4 comments

It has been submitted many more times, mostly with no significant discussion, from many different sources:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2307972 : 193 days ago,

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2757047 : 68 days ago,

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2816556 : 53 days ago,

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2994086 : 5 days ago,

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3004324 : 3 days ago.

Clearly a story that hackers gravitate towards, although it's interesting how little discussion it engenders.

It is an interesting concept, however perhaps it is so lo-tech that it needs no discussion.
