Agreed; live-streaming, or even posting pictures, might be going a bit too far. Most people I know get weird on camera, and that won't help these guys solve the issue. I still want to know their process, but anything more than a few paragraphs in an email is asking for way too much.

I think they are aware of how much this means to us, and how difficult it is to wait on their results. But I think they also have to consider what's best for the troubleshooting process. That's why they are spending only one weekend on it. It's Thursday, Monday is the soonest we can expect a summary of the tests (but not the conclusions, I give them another week for that). We've done all the speculation we can do (some of us with less knowledge than others, ahem, me); let's rest our minds and keyboards and wait.
