Second Netbook Wave Begins

nerdyH writes "Asus is taking pre-orders for a netbook based on Intel's second-generation platform, the secret-shrouded N280/GN40 chipset. Early product specs confirm that the second wave of netbooks are likely to offer faster graphics and lower power use, along with room for much, much larger batteries. The N280 apparently integrates the northbridge and CPU, meaning that the GPU moves to 45nm process technology, the FSB gets replaced by an on-chip interconnect, and overall board real-estate drops to a third of what it was previously — hence the ability to stuff an 8,700mAh battery into a 3-lb. device. The right shift key is slightly bigger, too, though still no trackpoint pointer (guess I'll keep waiting)."

    Why not go with the more controllable clit mouse. Much more pleasurable to use - for both the user and the computer.

    Newsflash.
    The naked lady on your notebook's desktop background? Not real - just a picture.
    Also - clit mouse? Not real clitoris.
    Neither your computer nor the woman in the photo feel anything when you fondle it.

    It is just you... being perverted in a very sad way at your place of occupation.
