The devastation is horrifying to see, all the videos, pictures... awful. On a tech note, I wonder what kind of effect this will have to pricing and availability of products from our friends in the East. Memory, LCD panels, Blu-ray, Sony, Sharp and others affected already, see here: [url]http://www.channelnews.com.au/Hardware/Industry/P4L9C8M3[/url]
