Touchscreen Netbooks To Shine At CES 2009

Posted by timothy on from the touchscreen-sans-tablet-seems-a-waste dept.

i4u writes "The new generation of netbooks debuting at CES 2009 will add touch and have twistable screens to use them in tablet or notebook style. Intel is set to introduce a new Classmate netbook with a twistable screen and touchscreen at the CES 2009. Back in October Asus said it was planning to introduce touchscreen Asus Eee netbooks in early 2009. Asus is exhibiting at the CES Unveiled pre-show that takes place on January 6th. Expect the Asus Eee Touch to be unveiled then. Gigabyte has outrun all of them with the Intel Atom-powered M912V that has been on the market for a while. Adding a touchscreen is rather easy. More difficult is to offer a touch-optimized UI. Let's see what the netbook vendors are going to invest on the software side."

    The air in my house was hot and humid when I came home from work. A distinctive scent of onion musk was in the air and I figured that my wife had just cooked me a Mexican meal.

    How sweet of her!

    But, suddenly, I heard strange noises coming from down the hallway, from my bedroom. I heard the faint sound of female sighs and moans mixed in with a vibrant, low groaning much like that of a large dog or perhaps an ape.

    I walked down the hall and noticed that the farther I went, the stickier and stinkier the air became. The noises became louder and I was able to hear that it was my wife who was doing the moaning.

    A nervous sick feeling tightened my stomach into a huge knot as my brain was unable to comprehend what my senses were telling me.

    I entered into a trancelike state, stoically finishing the eternal journey down the lonely, hot hall before twisting open the doorknob and when I opened the door I saw...no, God, no...my beloved, pure-as-snow wife was FUCKING A GODDAMN
