Transmeta Powered High-End Portable?

NETHED writes: "CNet is running a story on the oQo (Very flash heavy) ultra portable computer. 'Along with Windows XP, it will come with a 5800 Crusoe processor from Transmeta, a 10GB hard drive, 256MB of memory, connection ports for FireWire and USB (universal serial bus), and wireless networking connections through either WiFi or Bluetooth.' Sounds like a winner, considering they want it to cost LESS than 1000USD. Now, only if this didn't sound like vaporware."

Well, thank God you save your submissions. Maybe you can ask the refs for an instant replay call.

BTW, I noticed your plan:

Before I leave civilian life in August, I am going to launch my own competitive endeavour to counter /.'s totalitarian control of the media. Basically, it will consist of a /. like site where people can submit stories, and others can then comment on them. However, the placement and popularity of a topic will be up to the readership, as every viewer will get to either vote yeah or neigh to a particular piece or comment, allowing the readership to determine the popularity of a storey

Not to belabor the obvious, but have you looked at k5? Scoop might be a good basis for you.

"Totalitarian control of the media", though? Maybe you need to get out more. AOL/Time-Warner/God Inc. might have some "totalitarian control", but the people who read Slashdot are just a bunch of riff-raff goofing around to impress ourselves. It's like a cable-access channel, without the production values -- Wayne and Garth on a budget.
