Transmeta Astro Processor

simpl3x writes "Apparently, Transmeta's next generation processor was demonstrated to some folks the other day at Comdex. Tom's Hardware was at the demo and they had this to say: "The new Transmeta Astro was faster in every demo that we saw than the Pentium 4m 1.8GHz chip that was in the Sony GRX." Cnet had some information on the processor also . I just ordered a tablet to play with, though I ordered the Fujitsu which has a P3m (the Compaq has a bad screen according to the reviews). I certainly wish that something like this were available, and i do hope that the manufacturing goes smoothly. Mo options, mo better."

    I was watching porn, on the laptop
    and it was like "oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh"
    And then, like, half of my penis was scorched
    And I was like ... nhu?
    I *burned* my penis
    It was a really good penis
    And then I had to put some ointment on it fast
    and now it doesn't work so good
    It's kind of ... a bummer
