$600 phones Smartphones get cheaper and cheaper. Last year it was the $300 Nexus 4, now it's the $180 Moto G. And that's for mid-tier phones; the low end of Android goes very low.

$1 of income per unique visitor per month is much too high to be a good number to plan with. If your site doesn't have a natural commercial interest you're going to be selling adds at a rate that corresponds to maybe a $0.01-$1 C

Any stats on power consumption? Over 5 years the difference between a drive that uses 6 Watts and one that uses 7 is 44kWh or about $5. Double that to include cooling costs and saving a Watt should be worth something like $10 to you, so a

I think percentage points is the right metric here. Spending a lot of money to cut down the frequency of a rare occurrence doesn't make sense, even if you can cut it down by 100x.

Nope; if you have a device in people's houses you basically have to configure them to pull. NATs and other connectivity tricks mean they can reliably initiate communication with you but not the other way around.

The Hyperloop, if it were possible, would have about three times the current capacity of the Acela. At an 80min round trip running 20hr a day that's 15 trips per pod per day. So we have 40x28x15 = 16,800 daily round trips. The Acela h
