Why? Roughly one day before this came out on slashdot, linuxtoday has a link to a commentary on this "media box" at http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-01 -15-007-20-NW-EM
For US$400 per, I'd say it will make a difference when I use it for space-saving (and cool looking reasons) and hence money-saving reasons when I use it for my customers' co-location needs. Imagine stacking a few of these within a half-rack contract space, for the price of a half-rack.
I don't really know how they do it either. I'm from Singapore, and spent 2 weeks in LA, NY, LA, LV, LA, and most of my trip (stay points and travel vectors) were planned and transacted online, all from hotel/motel rooms, with freewwweb! Their areas may not be as extensive as other stupid-site-which-need-client-download-to-dial ISPs (e.g. try locating a local site in 323 area, holleywood), but at least my linux notebook did real stuff.
If someone knows how they survive (all they wanted was end-users to put home.freewwweb.com as their homepage -- *duh*), do write me.
Nothing new. Back in Singapore, NS has started making the Cyrix's since at least 1.5 years back. Now, they've just concluded their 1st round of retrencement, with a 2nd to follow.
A pal of mine quit the engineering line because he felt the management wasn't going anywhere ever since they started making the chips, and since then they started losing $$$ (my mum's still there).
I personally would like Cyrix to be a 3rd chip available in years to come (along with Intel and AMD), and though such announcements hardly call for attention, here's wishing them all the best as well with their new (if at all) strategies.
