The ASIC miners are going to basically make other forms of mining obsolete.

Once there's a ton of those on the market, it'll increase the difficulty so much that only people who have the ASICs will be able to get a reasonable hourly rate.

Once the ASICs are out, will solo mining itself be obsolete? I know BFL's mini rig can get up to 1.5 T-hash/s... Am I right in assuming that machine will be the only thing worth solo mining with, or does the increase in difficulty have no effect on solo mining?

I've ordered a jalapeno and am considering the BFL single. Would either of those yield any BTC solo mining or should I just stick to pools?

I have been trying to use coinbase as an e-wallet, but it has become totally unreliable.  I tried to send some bitcoins to a friend, and the transaction has been pending for 2 days. There is no way to cancel it, so my friend and I are stuck waiting to complete the transaction. This has happened on my last two transactions.  Unacceptable. Whatever the problem is, I hope they fix it soon.

Coinbase in general seems to be consistently overloaded. I've tried to buy BTC from them on several occasions, but not once have I succeeded due to the 24 hour rolling limit.

It's great to see bitcoin getting more and more recognition from these major news outlets, even if the coverage tends to be on the skeptical side.
