ASML is so interesting. Its like sci-fi that one firm in the Netherlands knows how to make the most complicated machine ever made, and no one else can do it. And it is arguably the most complicated machine ever made. 50,000 times a second,

I was unlucky enough to start exploring using Sonos (as opposed to old Squeezebox) just as this new app thing hit. One weird thing about Sonos is that it seems to be "a home speaker system for homes that dont have any children in them&
