Equipped in their concept PC:
Windows XP Pro
Bluetooth
RF Wireless Keyboard and mouse
USB 2.0
ATI low profile Radeon 7500 AGP video card
DVI Interface LCD monitor
The new concept is that of wireless keyboard and mouse, and an 18" flat screen
LCD monitor to top things off. But adding to this, of course, is Intel's
latest processor, the Pentium 4. The whole concept is that of a better working
environment with the best technology too, but mainly to get the job done. The 2001 Concept PC uses Bluetooth technology to connect all the components and uses an RF wireless keyboard and mouse. The concept PC does not skimp on graphics either; utilizing a new ATI Radeon 7500 videocard with DVI output.
Will we see these new PC's on shelves soon? Not likely, as Intel and HP are
introducing new possibilities for PC's to the business and consumer, meaning
great things can come in small packages. Although, HP will be looking into
new ways of introducing a friendly computer to the desk at work/home. It's
a great idea in all, but will it be something the people are looking for?
More than likely. Consumers and businesses are always looking for better
ways to sit at a desk and make life more enjoyable for hard working people,
but not leaving out those who enjoy playing around.
What we don't see often in store bought computers is air flow consideration.
The Concept PC 2001 was built on the idea of better airflow by using aligned
airflow for better thermal performance, and validated in industry leading
low acoustics.
Wow, so here's a computer that is small, fewer cables, flat screen, better
cooling, and greater overall performance with Intel's Pentium 4 processor.
This may be something consumers are looking for, what we don't know as of
yet is the cost. Most of us can assume the same prices for most store bought
computers, with a little added cost for an LCD screen though.
Personally it's something I would not mind seeing on the shelves in the near
future. But as for upgradeability, we can expect the same as any other computer
on the shelves today.

Wow... CompUSA Can Really Have an X-Box Fest Now
on
XBox Released
·
· Score: 1
I was in there this weekend and they had over 15 ft of shelf space dedicated to X-Box controllers. Another 5 ft dedicated to their paltry selection of X-box games. No X-Boxes of course (now they can really party!). They had their X-Box demo displayed front row of the store. I thought "well fine, its dumb to waste that much space, but its new"
Then I noticed they had both their Playstation and Playstation 2 demo machines disabled. WTF? Do you get special discounts from Micro$oft for that? Between that and their checkout monitor video displays and numerous store displays for Windows XP it was just icky.
Well he's right in a limited way. It wouldn't be good for businesses trying to create and maintain monopolies. And it wouldn't be good for those that like to release buggy code that shouldn't even be beta to the public as a finished product. But for everyone else...
I am so relieved that they changed the name. It was a little disturbing that the government had this program called Carnivore that they could use to violate people's privacy online. I feel a lot better now... If I'm going to have my privacy violated I'd much rather the program be called DCS 1000 than Carnivore! After all, it really did sound like some mean nasty program... But with the new name... wow! They do care! It warms my heart.
Slashdot Mirror
N = R * fs * fp * ne * fl * fi * fc * L
R = the rate of formation of stars in the galaxy
fs = the fraction of stars that are suitable suns for planetary systems
fp = the fraction of those stars with planets (thought to be around 1/2)
ne = the number of "earths" per planetary system i.e., planets suitable for liquid water
fl = the fraction of those planets where life develops
fi = the fraction of planets with life where intelligence develops
fc = the fraction of those planets that achieve technology which releases detectable signals into space
L = the lifetime of such communicative civilizations
I read somewhere that he was supposed to be a satyr. Though how big knees = satyr I'm not sure...
