Following the tradition of submarine patents, you should keep your trademark stuck in the middle of the registration process until the new name has been widely adopted by industry and literature. Then you complete the pending registration and claim licensing fees from just about everybody on earth! Grrrrrr-reat!

From the article:
I am conscious to me that it is a rather moved idea to build itself its own CCU but perhaps give it of people, which I can animate by this Website to something something similar or which even my CCU to copy to want. I will make everything available on this side gradually, which is needed for the reproduction of the CCU.
Say that 3 times fast. Go ahead, I dare ya.
The site is short on (understandable) details, but the thing apparently runs at a blistering 5Mhz which happens to be 5Mhz faster than anything I could ever build. Impressive, but I don't think AMD and Intel should be worried just yet. Via... maybe.
