Centrino-based Linux Laptops

Posted by michael on from the tux-inside dept.

sebFlyte writes "Intel has lifted its ban on Linux-based laptops carrying its Centrino brand... It obviously makes very little difference technically what name is on the outside of the box, but does this represent a major philosophical shift for the chipmaker, or are they just leaping upon the nearest bandwagon in pursuit of a few extra bucks?"

    I thought i would introduce myself to you as a true believer in the supernatural i feel obliged to share a coupl eof my experiences with you.

    Last Wednesday i was mopping jism off the floor at the office where i work, this is normal as i do the cleaning for the office as well as the accounts! Everyone had gone home for the night, and the place was empty. Except however for the b*gger that slapped a hand on my shoulder! I shot around with my heart in my mouth adn was convince someone from the office would be standing there. There was nobody! The front door, which is the only access to the place is a wooden door with reinforced steel and cannot be opened and shut quietly! So it leads me to believe that there was a prescence with me that day. Then i cam into work today and the lock on my very heavy toilet door is also missing. Now there is only 5 people that work here and neither one of them took the lock. Strange! also the same day that i had the experience with the jizz mopping i took my newphew to a drive through McDonalds whereby i turned off the stereo to speak to the lady in the service box. When i finished speaking to her my stereo started back up and the button wash pushed in. I have to tell you that my newphew was extremely scared.

    Anyway just thought i would share!!
