In Germany, Italia and other european countries a price of about 3.76$ per gallon is nowadays normal and accepted. And guess what: We survive it;-) Some politicians claim, that petrol is too expensive, other (the 'green' parties) say, that a price of about 8$ or 9$ per gallon (5 Mark / liter) would be apropriate. So nowadays its a factor of two from USA to Europe. Maybe a factor of two from nowadays to the future would also be accepted.
Look at the specs: - 100~240V 50/60Mhz Auto Swiching AC Adapter Well, I don't get 50 or 60 MegHz out of my wall socket. Maybe the wanted to save the crystal for the processor clock? Handtuch.
As can be read on http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/cp-25.03.00-00 0/ (german only, sorry), Microsoft proposed to lay "parts of their business practices" and "parts of their software" open to the governement. Maybe they think that this would leave enough control to them, to go on comfortably like they did up to now. A governement is controllable, and I think, they can easyly control which parts of their sources they show to whatever gov. organisation.
About Transmetas popularity: My Girlfriend is working at a high level management office (one level beyond the CEO's office) in a^Hthe major semiconductor company in germany (read: Europe). And they _know_ transmeta and are somewhat excited about the idea, the chip, and the company. Alex.

Those gold-caps are afaik just to keep the memory from loosing its bits. Take a flash-memory and you even need no buffering. Alex.
