Transmeta Unveiled in November?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the are-we-there-yet dept.

terrified writes "This little blurb on Yahoo news this morning says that Linus is hinting at an announcement from Transmeta at the November Comdex in Las Vegas. " We need to set up some pools: When the secret will be revealed, and maybe some sort of pools for what the secret is. Transmeta employees who leak data to me will be given a cut if I win ;)

  1. Here's my guess by Bob+Ince · · Score: 4

    My guess is they've been slaving away on the technology behind the next generation of gaming, a new breed of interactive fiction with incredible lifelike gameplay.

    Though shadowy contacts with Transmeta's sinister agents I have managed to obtain this transcript, which should hopefully convey some the raw excitement on offer.

    Transmeta Adventure
    An Interactive Next-Generation Gaming Experience
    by Linux Torwald and David Ditzy

    You are in a cave there is BILL GATES here!!!

    What do you want to do now TELL ME!
    > smell bill

    BILL GATES smell of POO!!!

    > shoot bill

    You shoot the BILL GATES with GUN! He disappears in a puff of smoke! Very good!

    (Your score has gone up by two points.)

    > release new software release beating windows

    Yes! You have won!! and You get yoghurt!

    (--end of transcript--)

    Apparently the full version will also feature a section where you have to get the treasure and successfully negotiate a maze of twisty little stock options, all alike. Personally I can't wait.

    (Look, none of us have a clue what's they're doing, so why not fill this article up with off-topic rubbish? Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.)

  2. Comdex Registration Priority Code & info by Mazzella! · · Score: 4

    If you want to go to comdex, first you have to register at Comdex's Website and use the priority code: LINUX (Cool, eh?!) This code will get you into "the exhibits, keynotes, and Millenium Perspectives; the SuperSession; and Sm@rt Solutions." for free... Still $595 for the Linux Business Solutions Expo, but, on Monday, Nov. 15, 6:30pm, Linus Torvalds is giving his keynote...

    Warning, if you don't already have a hotel to stay, be forwarned, the prices around town skyrocket when comdex is in town. Get a hotel room off the strip, like at a Station Hotel/Casio, or a Boyd Hotel/Casino Good L
