Ummmm, from "Meet the Hollowheads"? 
One of my instructors told me years ago his theory on how electrical gadgets worked, and I can't really dispute his theory, because it always works for me. Electricity is really based upon:
Smoke
Cuz when the smoke escapes, the electrical thingie stops working.

Not necessarily. The problem is, it's so hard to get the magic blue smoke back inside the chip.

This and your earlier statements on how the data is delivered is technically insufficient and more than just a 'wire'. If you are going to be accurate, please include the details on how Name Service works, the TCPIP protocols involved, ethernet packetization, out of order transmission, and in fact how about the various ethernet hardware layers and their protocols. Oh and the various firewall checks and router handshaking and even the NAT translations (redundant, I know) that need to happen just to get onto the network. And that is just the tip of the iceberg on what really goes on.

Tubes? Now you tell me. I thought it was a bunch of tin cans strung together. Oh well, learn something new everyday
LOL

Don't think its ever coming out !
Really? When has B&N not delivered on an update for the NOOK or NOOKcolor? B&N has put out every update it said it would. There is no reason to believe it will fail to release this one.
None of these complaints are new, though I realize they feel that way to some. If you take a little bit of time to scroll back through the NOOK boards, you will see identical conversations happened at every update. The world was about to end every time an update was expected, but it never did. The updates all came when they were ready and life went on. The same will happen in this case.
Until the next update, anyway. 
Oh I have smoked quite a few in past years and Yea it never went back in. No inhaling as the saying goes.
Though on another note I have smoked quite a few transformers and other electrical things over that past few years and when you see the magic blue black smoke you Usually go OH Crap, just a little more explicit.
