Neuros LINK Mixes Quiet, Aesthetics, and Ubuntu
jonniee writes with a link to Dr. Dobb's Journal's look at a rather cool living-room-suitable media-centric computer from Neuros (presented as being suitable mostly for developers and serious hobbyists for now), excerpting: "The Neuros LINK is essentially a quiet x86 PC running Ubuntu Linux with an ATI graphics card delivering video via VGA, DVI, and HDMI output. ... What makes the LINK such a compelling platform for these folks and Linux/open source developers in general is the recognition that a real business entity is stepping forward to spend the money necessary to market and commercialize what tech enthusiasts have been doing for years."
Somebody up more!
If they went with Nvidia they could have had lower price, better Linux performance, better drivers and importantly VDPAU (video accelleration, drops CPU usage by 90%).
Yes, but does it twitter?
Can anyone tell me if Congress has any oversight over Obama's 30+ overlords? Doesn't it seem like a bad idea to have a bunch of former industry executives and lobbyists staffing all of these overlord positions, helping to draft health care takeover and auto bail-out legislation (and many other things), and to have all of their activities protected by executive privilege? I know it's not exactly Haliburton, but I thought we were promised a new era of Hope and Change. Pathetically bleating about "teh shrub" and some sort of equivalence is irrelevant. What we were promised by Obama was a new era of Hope and Change, transparency, and kicking the lobbyists out of Washington, D.C. The oil and banking lobbyists might have been kicked out, but Big Pharma and Big Union moved right in!
