Mio commented on AMD Promises DirectX 11 in 2009

"@soccer1105: 10 was basically Microsoft wiping the slate clean and coming out with a completely new implementation, ignoring backwards compatibility, and stuffing in features that they wouldn't have been able to do if they merely extended 9. 11 is just an upgrade to 10, not nearly as huge as 10 was to 9."

Mio commented on Silent Alarm Clock Wakes You Up With Good Vibrations, Smooths Roommate Relations

I don't use the clock anymore, but I liked it so much that I have the vibrating disk plugged into a custom built clock (With 802.15.4 support, so it links to a mesh of other appliances and gizmos that I've been slowly building up to be smarter) so that my computer can control it a little more intelligently."
