New Transmeta Chip: "Efficeon"

Posted by michael on Tuesday August 12, 2003 @05:32AM from the let-the-jokes-begin dept.

ddtstudio writes "Oh, "Astro" was such a friendly name -- but it probably had trademark issues. So the alphabet blender came up with "Efficeon" instead. This eWeek story gives the lowdown on what Transmeta is doing apres Linus. There's also a writeup on ExtremeTech."

Dear Rummy,
Thank you for contacting us.
I'm gonna say it plain and simple. Where'd you pinch the hooch? Is some blind tiger jerking suds on the side?
Since Wildcat is on teh spoke, it will cost $699 for year-long hosting service on goatse.cx or tubgirl.com, either 'State side or in Soviet Russia. Just be careful about allowing copyrighted works from being posted, as you may be subject to DMCA litigation. Please refrain from "sharing" music files as well, since it would be highly likely that the RIAA would seek legal action against both you and your new web host. Please know that customer support is currently unavailable as we move our offices to Bangaledesh, India.
I might also suggest that you protect your new M$ Windows 2003 Server (SCO Unix intellectual property leased and paid for) server with a firewall, and block TCP port 135. Your Front Page extensions have been installed for you.
Thank you,
Mao

What happened to Linus? Is he not working at Transmeta anymore? Did something happen while was asleep?

I can just see some dot com survivor dude barreling down the freeway at 75 mph in his 4000 pound SUV, bragging on his cell phone about how energy efficent his new notebook is, thanks to the new Efficeon wonder chip.
