Slashdot Mirror
High School Dropout, Self-Taught Chip Designer
circletimessquare writes "The QVC television shopping network has recently found a hit in its product the C64, which emulates the classic Commodore 64 in a small form factor, a joystick. But the story of the designer of the product is more interesting than the product. Meet Jeri Ellsworth [NYTimes. You know what that means], whose life story emulates the golden age of garage-based computer design. She is proof that the passion of the homebrew electronic hobbyist is still a viable force in an age when well-funded and well-staffed corporate design teams dominate chip design."
Maybe in 20 years she can design a P75. That will show those corparte giants who is boss.
damnit - i really did mean to post as AC ...
Start rolling out the "She is hot" and "I'd like her to play with my joystick" comments.
One more thing, can Slashdot's editors please stop whining about NYT's registration? To read their news for free just for filling in some info seems like a generous trade.
It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains. The stains become a warning
She looks like a conniving elf in the picture. So in Slashdot terms, yes she's hot.
[NYTimes. You know what that means]
That they're just making shit up?
