If they put it as a MIME part that could be marked for spam filters to ignore...
What they COULD do is put a "Google AdWords Newsletter" based on the content of all mails recieved via POP3... My spam filter could eat it, and I wouldn't have to worry about anything. However, my spam filter WOULD eat it...
I'm thinking Bayesian filters will just learn to ignore GMail AdWords (Google, please put something like ---Begin Advertisement--- and ---End Advertisement--- to not screw our spam filters, and make sure the filters won't parse anything in between them...)
One advantage to POP is that I can access it with a cell phone with something like mail2web.com. I can't go to gmail.google.com/wml, and check my mail there (actually, there is something there, but it's just the regular Google WAP search).
Heh... SoftHome, FWIW, injected ad e-mails in the e-mail (until, that is, they put annoying ass banners for diet pills and Russian brides in the webmail) - web or POP. I could EASILY block the spam when it came through Opera (the simplest spam filters can catch these), but on the webmail, I HAD to read them before it let me delete them (IIRC, the checkbox to move or delete was greyed out).
With older versions of Firefox, I can actually make it ID as Firecrotch/0.10 (Firefox/0.10 polymorph) (all of this is IIRC, except the fact that Firesomething exists).
I RTFA'd, but I didn't see anything about a mic. My guess is a Skype client wouldn't be that hard, but isn't Skype closed source? It'd be a little harder, then, but not bad.
Will someone have to create a "port" of the Super Game Boy to the DS, and more like a Game Boy Color emu?
Actually, an ARM is capable enough - why not just a GameShark-like device that has a GBC emulator, and runs on the DS (or would it be cheaper to just make it for the GBA - it won't be used on it, but less complex coding for the DS?)

I'd rather grab a Toshiba Libretto 110CT, and throw in a WiFi card;-) About the same size, and a (cramped) full laptop KB to boot.
This is actually a clone of the NES hardware in one chip. From what I've heard, it's about 98% compatible with the NES. You'll see some stuff like sprites not rendered quite right, sound slightly off, etc., etc.
"Desktop replacement" means just that - it can replace a desktop. This means it has to have a big screen, and have enough horsepower to do what desktops do.
OK, I'll give you that... (the 3150, which WAS available when you were looking, couldn't burn DVDs, and the 3200 wasn't available until mid-2004)
Averatec is known for making cheap laptops, and have been doing it for a while now (they got a bad reputation for short spacebars when they were Sotec, though, so they lengthened the spacebars and changed their name). I also heard some rumor that Toshiba uses them to make laptops, which is a good sign (if true). Most reviews of their laptops (esp. 3200 series) are good.
Well, many companies make them, it's just they cost $1000+, because they're "industrial grade".
Myself, I carry a mouse with my 8lb laptop. This is a cheap retractable mini-mouse (I paid $13). It works great, and doesn't take up much space (unlike the Dell/Logitech basic optical mouse that came with it - important when there's a bulky power adaptor in there too).
You think? A P-M can do pretty damn well against a P4 or A64, and it's a LOT lower power, which means less thickness necessary, less weight necessary, less power consumption, less heat. You can have your big (wide, deep) laptop, but it doesn't have to be thick (observe 17" PBG4s).
I hate my Dell 8lb budget DTR (Uninspiron 1100). P4, of course, and the fan is on the bottom, so the laptop has to be unbalanced to not choke the CPU and chipset (in fact, I let the laptop sit slightly off of my desk, as I've had (on desks) chipset-related crashes while playing games (damn i845) - there's also it doesn't fit on my desk right, but...)
I would LOVE a P-M in this. Hell, I'd love it if they just made a Socket 478 P-M without SpeedStep (no BIOS support in this), and I'd replace the P4 with it. This thing is a backbreaker (the P-M wouldn't help with that, though), and lasts about 2.5 hours just typing (no WiFi, no games, no nothing), and about 1-1.5 hours with WiFi and some UT:GOTY (I wouldn't dream of running 2K3 or 2K4 on this).
Actually, mobile Pentiums (at least the M) have whatever you can push through the MSR. x86-Secret did just that in one of their P-M mobo reviews (although they didn't push a HIGHER than normal multiplier through, unlike what the DFI 855GME-MGF can do). Yep, these are unlocked, and Intel can't do a thing about it without removing SpeedStep.
Hmm... this benchmark is a bit odd. They got 96.8FPS at 640x480 with the 2.8PM. They got 87.8 with the A64 4000 (Asus A8V).
Now, with the EXACT SAME VIDEO CARD, and with the same amount and type of RAM, PCStats (hey, it was the first thing I found when googling for A64 4000+ OC reviews) got 110FPS on an NF3, and 108.7GPS on a VIA chipset, both at stock. OCed (to 2.72GHz, from 2.4), they got 117.1 on the VIA.
FWIW, most laptops aren't made by the companies that claim to make them, especially when it's a whiteboxer, like LinuxCertified. (as for big companies, Alienware is a major manufacturer that does this (they use Clevo laptops), and I believe Dell does, too) When I saw this site, I wondered who made them, to know who to avoid (it sounded pretty crappy to me).
Eh... I think that the P-M, slightly overvolted, and cranked up to 2.8GHz (perfectly stable, with only a northbridge HSF) can beat an A64 4000+ at Doom 3.

My guess is it wouldn't be too hard, except there's no mic.
I'd rather see a web browser, myself. It's got integrated WiFi, and it's got a touchscreen (I'm thinking PictoChat-like OSK).

Eh, I think I can find those CPUs new, and cheap ;-)
;-)
Granted, no mobos (I can't find a Slot 1 mobo on DumpingGoods, or a Socket 7 mobo on Newegg), but I found the CPUs
Actually, it'll crawl. IIRC, the people who did that said it took longer than FIVE MINUTES to render a My Computer window ;-)!

That WOULD be legal, unless Novatek used Nintendo IP in creating the NT6578 (the chip in those things).

Your laptop was $350, and had all that? I found something that had all that, and weighs 4.5lbs to boot.

Well, there's this, and a $200 CPU can OC to just over A64 3400+ levels in Doom 3 (640x480, LQ).

Just wait till the 8th, and you can even get a desktop Pentium M board in the US.
I saw the Offtopic mod, and I have this to say:
The parent to my post said: "I think the Pentium M would be better if you don't do anything serious with your laptop (or play Doom 3)."
I was providing evidence that a P-M could do Doom 3 even better than an A64 (granted, when overclocked - how far does an A64 4000+ OC, though?)
