Thank you for the info! But I also think that this will not get a lot of coverage, if I need to learn this address from a comment in HN.. Hope it does somehow..

This looks great, even on mobile! Would you mind sharing the shop software you use?

That is my major concern. I live in a fairly new average sized house in Germany with a modern heating system (heating pump) and pay about 1200€/year for heating. If I knew for sure that they exist in 15 years I would really consider it.

Maybe they mean the ability to obtain a 50Mbps connection?

Nikon anounced yesterday the "NIKKOR 24-85mm VR" Lens for FX (full frame) with a suggested retail price of $599.95. http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses...

Yeah...it seems like, Nikon released this zoom for that exact market, http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/06/14/Nikon-Nikkor-24-85mm...
