Commodore - Back In The Hardware Biz At Last?

Aphrika writes "Commodore is back in the hardware business [via current owners Tulip Computers] and this time they're taking on... Apple? Due for release in August are three MP3 players; the eVic, fPet and mPet. The eVic is a 20GB (hence the name) hard drive-based player, while the mPet and fPet are closer to the Muvo/iRiver styled flash players. They'll also be hoping you pay a visit to the Commodore World Music Store once in a while to stock up on tunes..." We also recently mentioned Commodore's 'TV Game' and ROM-store projects over at Slashdot Games.

    pb (10:16:31 PM): geeking out, in parallel
    pb (10:16:55 PM): me, ubu, and Captain_Tenille are actually *getting shit done* re: vector space searching
    pb (10:17:10 PM): dailykos just started using it, k5 should soon follow
    pb (10:17:37 PM): and in a couple of days I'm going on vacation, heading up to Maine
    [Me] (10:18:09 PM): to see rusty?
    pb (10:18:26 PM): not primarily, but he mentioned that maybe we could get together
    pb (10:18:32 PM): my family has an old summer home up there
    [Me] (10:18:48 PM): go see him and his wife and take pics
    pb (10:18:52 PM): haha
    pb (10:18:54 PM): now now...
    [Me] (10:19:21 PM): would you ever fuck his wife is she snuck into your guest room at night and said she wanted your cock?
    pb (10:19:31 PM): of course, if I was one of those fuckers who went everywhere with a digital camera, I probably would
    pb (10:19:44 PM): probably not, sadly
    [Me] (10:19:57 PM): fuckin pussy. be a man and fuck her
    pb (10:20:04 PM): no dude, I've seen pictures
    [Me] (10:20:31 PM): are you saying she's ugly
    pb (10:20:39 PM): she's just not my type
    pb (10:21:00 PM): I'm sure she'd never do that anyhow, because she's with Rusty, and therefore they're probably both goody little two-shoes
    [Me] (10:21:42 PM): so basically you're saying that if she weren't fat and ugly and if she weren't a dweeb, you'd fuck her and cum inside her pussy?
    pb (10:21:53 PM): maybe
    [Me] (10:22:06 PM): is your girl ugly?
    pb (10:22:10 PM): no
    pb (10:22:26 PM): I guess I'm just loyal like that too :-)
    [Me] (10:23:48 PM): i'm getting at this -> who's less ugly, your bitch or rusty's bitch?
    pb (10:24:01 PM): beats me
    pb (10:24:06 PM): I guess rusty's bitch is just plain
    [Me] (10:24:26 PM): do you think he cums on her face like in pornos?
    pb (10:24:39 PM): I think he asks for permission
    [Me] (10:24:59 PM): do you do that to your girl?
    pb (10:25:11 PM): no comment :-)
    [Me] (10:25:54 PM): do you think rusty puts his penis into her pussy?
    [Me] (10:26:00 PM): (correction: ass)
    pb (10:26:03 PM): I would expect so... ah
    pb (10:26:10 PM): who knows dude
    pb (10:26:17 PM): is this what you do in your free time?
    [Me] (10:26:17 PM): do you put it in your girl's asshole?
    [Me] (10:27:06 PM): (i have done it, it's awesome and nothing to be ashamed of, so be honest)
    pb (10:27:14 PM): heh, I have too
    [Me] (10:27:56 PM): it's a little bit tight and they wince sometimes but if you relax and make them relax it works out, though it feels a bit faggity and you probably get AIDS
    pb (10:28:04 PM): haha
    [Me] (10:28:59 PM): i know you are a strong proponent of open source....
    pb (10:29:11 PM): I suppose I am
    [Me] (10:29:15 PM): do you feel that men who use linux/open source are at least slightly more prone to be homosexual?
    pb (10:29:29 PM): ... than the general population?
    [Me] (10:29:37 PM): and be honest here, considering the effeminate and weak limp wrist nature of many of our linux friends
    pb (10:29:38 PM): maybe.
    pb (10:29:56 PM): but to answer that one honestly, it's tricky
    pb (10:30:04 PM): maybe they're just more likely to *admit it*
    [Me] (10:30:08 PM): many linux friends of mine have lisps, are very weak (would have been killed in NAZi germany), and don't have girlfriends
    pb (10:30:12 PM): haha
    [Me] (10:31:04 PM): would you ever kiss a man?
    pb (10:31:19 PM): sure, but I don't think I'd ever want to
    [Me] (10:32:12 PM): if a man swept you off your feet and treated you like a woman but like a queen and bought you gifts and kissed you and loved you and took care of you, could you possibly imagine feeling love for him as well and letting him continue owning your body?
    pb (10:32:51 PM): ugh
    [Me] (10:33:00 PM): be open minded please
    pb (10:33:00 PM): I doubt it, that would be weird
    [Me] (10:33:21 PM): you know, a man like rusty or rob malda...they have a lot of money...
    pb (10:33:26 PM): haha

  3. Your Sig by pommiekiwifruit · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Richard Pearse (Otage, NZ) flew before the Wright Bros with a powered heavier than air plane (heck Lilienthal was earlier with a hang-glider). Their achievement was in claiming a controlled flight, since Pearse crashed into a hedge. Of course, they were flying on a beach (Kitty Hawk IIRC) with a convenient lack of hedges :-) Pearse's plane looks surprisingly modern (like an ultralight) but perhaps was ahead of the material technology of the time.

    Of course, like Microsoft, they were much better at commercialising the technology than their rivals.
