The Latest Transmeta Rumor

Today's Transmeta rumor is from Red Herring. Their story gives more details than the c't article we pointed to earlier this week, but is still full of unattributed info. Supposedly Transmeta's "real" Web site will debut with ruffles and flourishes Monday evening when Linus Torvalds gives his Comdex keynote speech, and all these little advance leaks are supposed to pique our curiosity about what he's going to say. Okay, mine's piqued. How about yours?

Zen PR

[adimarco]

Regardless of what product Transmeta eventually produces (assuming they actually do produce a product someday), you must admit they have a brilliant, practically Zen approach to Public Relations.

It doesn't matter if their product turns out to be vaporware, or the second coming of Christ in the form of a microprocessor, they've got us all so worked up over it that Linus could just walk up to the podium and eat a bowl of cereal at Comdex and we'd provide days of analysis and discussion on what we thought his body language revealed. Fscking *brilliant* :)

In a world becoming increasingly accustomed to ridiculous amounts of needless information on simply *everything* they've distinguished themselves from the pack in the only way possible: by providing no information whatsoever.

(Note that by [not] distinguishing themselves in this way, they've actually created a higher information density...)

I'm simply in awe, and undoubtedly waiting just as eagerly as the rest of you...
