Intel Launching 'Merom' Notebook Processor

Hans Pecheston writes "Merom, Intel's notebook processor, will be joining in the festivities at their upcoming launch event. This chip will continue to use the Core 2 Duo brand and should display additional improvements in performance and power consumption over the current chips. Intel has already begun to ship Merom processors to its PC customers and systems with Merom should begin to appear around the end of August."

Is Athlon (a.k.a. "Athalon") any better?

For girls:

        * Soon after the libidinal shift to the penis, the child develops her first sexual impulses towards her mother.
        * The girl realizes that she is physically not equipped to have a sexual relationship with her mother, as she has a clitoris and vagina, rather than a penis.
        * She desires a penis, and the power that it represents. This is described as penis envy. She sees the solution as obtaining her father's penis.
        * The girl blames her mother for her apparent castration (what she sees as punishment by the mother for being attracted to the father) assisting a shift in the focus of her sexual impulses from her mother to her father.
        * She develops a sexual desire for her father.
        * Sexual desire for her father leads to the desire to replace, and eliminate her mother.
        * The girl identifies with her mother so that she might learn to mimic her, and thus replace her.
        * The child anticipates that both aforementioned desires will incur punishment (by the principle of lex talionis)
        * The girl employs the defence mechanism of displacement to shift the object of her sexual desires from her father to men in general.

Slashdot: shiny new theme,

[Jerk City Troll]

But increased irrelevance. I am sure I am not alone in noticing that Slashdot stories are fewer in number and of substantially less interest these days. Most of the articles are pointless product releases and a great many others make us yawn. Very few actually present worth giving some attention. I suspect this is due to other sites like Digg and Reddit serving as more effective news aggregators. Anyone else care to share any observations (aside from “Slashdot is dying” trolls)?
