[LUGSB] tonidoplug

[Ehtesh Choudhury]

Did someone say "plug and play?" Hehe.

Although, I don't see too much of a distinction between plug computers,
routers, and even the WD tv Live units. Heat issues aside, if this could
connect/broadcast wirelessly or had a video card, what would make it
different from a router or a WD tv Live player? I guess it's low power
consumption?

Just wondering.
