moved my htpc to raspberry pi - couple of my answers to my own questions

Basically, there is no _practical_ WoL for the Raspberry Pi. It seem technically possible, at least they say that the NIC+USB chip HW supports it, but nobody f...ing needs it, so no project cares to make it. Everybody seem so happy about having a device consuming 5W max that leaving it on all the time seem more than normal even if it does productive work just a fraction of the time. Ok, let the time solve this, I'm happy too :)

Btw, there is WoL functionality for XBMC and their mobile remote. So, guys using it on the HW consuming tens of watts of energy, I encourage to try and to use it!

Cool feature of XBMC, Apple's AirPlay protocol, doesn't seem to work stable on Raspbmc. First, I was surprised by the functionality, you can't put the screen on the screen, you can just share photos, videos, music. Second, video is _very_ unstable and there are screen stretching issues which doesn't seem trivial to solve, you need to really dig into configuring the thing. I do not recommend it for now.

Btw, I had 1 Raspbmc crash since start, it just stopped to play internet radio once without obvious reason.

Otherwise, I'm still very happy with it.

Tieu: "It's time for mobile to grow up. In 2014 publishers will discover that they need to go all in for mobile. It is not enough to just have an Android app or an iOS app or to be optimized for the mobile web. Designing for a single device is not going to fly. Publishers need to offer mobile to consumers on every device so that readers can engage when and where they please. People today are digital omnivores, and publishers need to feed their appetites across the varying mobile outlets."
