A .Net CPU
An anonymous reader writes "Windows for devices has an article about the .Net CPU. The chip is programmed with a subset of the CLR and runs the same software as the SPOT smart watches. Among other things, "[t]he computer module is implemented in the format of a 32-pin "DIP" (dual inline package) chip, allowing the module to conveniently plug into a standard 32-pin DIP socket. In addition, the ".netcpu CPU Module" integrates 4MB of nonvolatile Flash memory (interfaced via an SPI interface on the SoC). It also provides 24 general purpose digital I/O lines, which are multiplexed with other functions including 8 VTU ports, a USB port, two serial ports, and SPI and I2C interfaces." More information about the product can be found at the .netcpu company website."
They must be very small, but I think I can see them if I look really closely and squint a bit.

Imagine a beowu... oh, wait.
Nothing to see here, move along!
Clippy turns you off.
A drm hardware dream.
http://www.clifford.at/bfcpu/bfcpu.html This piece of hardware is tres cool, as it implements the _complete_ set of Brainf*ck instructions as native instruction set.
A monkey is doing the real work for me.
If so, wake me up when they declare they're going to release CLR under an open source license.
... its called Rotor, released by Microsoft a few years ago and it runs on FreeBSD.....
*riiiiiiing* wake up call
Well, maybe not your definition of open source (no GPL or BSD license but Shared Source) but remember open != free as in beer
