A question about : Have computers stopped getting faster?

This has certainly been my experience. Has the exponential increasing speed of computers - at least at a practical level - been just hype? I've always assumed the hardware was getting faster, but the software designers were developing more bells and whistles to slow it down. However this New Scientist article suggests the hardware might not in practice be much improved!

A question about : Can Kodi access MS OneDrive to play movies?

Hi all,

I just got setup with MS OneDrive's unlimited storage as part of Office 365.
I was thinking of grabbing one of the new Rasberry Pis and putting Kodi on it, but wanted to know if, instead of storing movies locally, they could instead be stored and streamed to Kodi, from the cloud... Is this possible?
