AthlonXP Released

Just because AMD says it stands for eXtended Performance doesn't mean they aren't trying to feed off of the Windows XP hype. After all, they could have called it the Athlon EP and it would have stood for the same thing.

Is that a rhetorical question? Coming in the same quarter as the Windows XP release, it seems the ties there are obvious. They want to stick with the name recognition of the Athlon, while simultaneously capitalizing on the release of Windows XP. XP, as we all know, will be the primary OS that consumers will be getting (whether by choice or not), and now they'll have an "XP" processor to go with it.
This camera was the only way the world was able to see the departure of the crew of the US intelligence plane from China. The Chinese would not allow broadcasting, and a several ton van with a sat. uplink could not be smuggled close enough to film the departure. However, these small video phones fit the bill nicely. These should enable footage to be filmed under similar circumstances in the future that would otherwise go unreported or lack effective visuals.

You mean like all those other companies that will go out of business shortly because they support Windows only? Oh, good, see you later MS.
I agree they may go out of business soon, but not because they are supporting Windows only.

Maybe you should invest in one of these:
