[HH] Whirlpools, Maelstroms, and Maytags with Android's Sticks and Chips

[John Abreau]

Brian was going through a list of websites fairly fast to display various hardware. 
I was trying to look up the hardware quickly enough, and since I had connected 
to the irc session earlier to see if it was live, I figured it was a good place to paste
the links for future reference. 

Kurt and Brian, can you guys send me your slides to post on the BLU website?
