As is the case with most press releases (or "feature article" as this document is called) there is an absolute and complete lack of any useful details.
I have had several discussions with people in the chip industry who have seen many "press releases" for products that have not even been designed! The main purpose is to feel out the market. Without knowledge of the industry it's impossible to say whether the product is a complete/feasible/affordable solution.
Are there any Slashdotters who are familiar with the industry and can comment on this release?
Oddly, I don't see many Swedes or Finns , good socialists they are, lining up at our borders or dying to get into our country. Perhaps socialism isn't as evil as it's made out to be, or capitalism as good as it's made out to be?
Off topic, but..
Socialism is evil. Capitalism is good. Whenever I hear people espousing these types of comments, I run as fast as I can...which unfortunately is pretty slow.
There are definitely good arguments that can be made for capitalism, but one thing seems sure: extra rules are needed beyond pure capitalism. We have to make sure that we are achieving the goal of capitalism which is the creation and distribution of wealth. Who cares if this is done through capitalism, communism, or dadaism, if the end goals are being met. It seems to me that too many people see capitalism or communism or even democracy, as ends themselves rather than means to ends that can be modified and tinkered with.
