Cappuccino PC, Round 3
Simon (S2) writes "do you remember the cappuccino pc? There is a new release of it called Mocha.
The Mocha P4 PC size advantage makes it ideal for places where space is at a premium or for those who work in several fixed locations at once and want to be able to access the same data everywhere. Mocha P4 is a PC that is so flexible, efficient, compact and portable technically knocks down all existing desk top PCs. Choosing a big and bulky inappropriate PC has become an obsolete way of thinking. The over all technology of other mini-book PCs around is still far from our achievement today. Take advantage of the new breed PC of tomorrow and experience the next generation way of computing."
Slashdot is just cunt and pasting press releases, and posting them as stories now?
Lame.
"PC of tomorrow", indeed.
Choosing a big and bulky inappropriate PC has become an obsolete way of thinking.
Back in my day, all we had was inappropriate PCs. They'd show up for dinner in shorts, and make lewd comments about the hostess.
Seriously though, there was a time when choosing an inappropriate PC was, er, appropriate? Don't marketing people take English classes anymore?
How much does it cost to have my ad ran as a /. Story?
Get a free ipod.
I have seen reviews of these things that say that we should all throw away our full towers and buy one of these instead.
Like hell.
My A/V PC has 5 PCI devices and 4 IDE devices, my 3D workstation has 5 PCI back plates used up (various extenders from other cards) and 3 actual PCI slots in use, along with a mere 3 IDE devices (it is going to get a CDRW so make that 4 IDE devices soon now), and;
oh yah;
each one of my steel full muthafucking tower cases?
Doubles.
As
A stepladder.
BIZZOOOOOOTCH!

God, these "Slashvertisements" are getting pretty bad.
See the latest in innovation! Totally changes the way you work, and even think about working! Far superior to unsightly cabinets of dusty electronics, and for a price that is astounding! If you decide to keep it, we'll refund half the purchase price. This is so revolutionary that it makes the PC obsolete. Stop by, and you'll get a free onion!
Why don't you have it on ThinkGeek yet? Still selling the old stale cappucino there.... Methinks the marketroids didn't plan this well, and instead are just annoying would-be-news-readers.
I write code.
