Anyone join any mining pools lately now that prices are increasing? I figured there would be a pretty serious drop after the 50 to 25 drop, but there seems to be some dedicated miners still out there. Looks like brand new FPGA boxes are coming out for it as well.

Not FPGA, but ASIC. Mining with a GPU is fairly useless now unless you've a warehouse of them and free power.
Good point. I imagine those up North may get some use as they can double as heating (if the area's small), but besides that, it does seem like a waste of time and electricity at this point.
