Etrema is now trying to secure a major retailer to sell a $300 portable version called the Presenter, aimed at business travelers, that can plug into laptops and give any room a top-quality sound system for presentations. A toy version, the Soundbug, is available for $20 from Amazon and OfficeDepot.com. Despite the poorer sound quality, teenage boys seem to like it.
At least it will give Final Fantasy fans time to play more of the MMORPG, Final Fantasy XI. Since it's online and requires the use of a hard drive, there should be enough extra content to keep gamers happy until FF XII comes out in the US, probably in 2005.
For $200, I really can't see this becoming a hot product. The average consumer would rather buy a $200 Palm or Pocket PC. They are just as pocketable as Citizen's concept (unless you have really small pants) plus they have color screens and multimedia capabilities.
Maybe you've never seen this thermal paste roundup. All of the pastes were applied correctly, and there was a difference of 5.5c at idle and 13c at load between the highest and lowest performing pastes rewiewed.
Intel's next generation of desktop chips supposedly put out 100+ watts of heat. This thermal paste would certainly help to cool that. Since Intel puts thermal speaders on all of thier chips, the extra pressure needed to make the carbon black paste efficient wouldn't crush the core.
In case you didn't know, the hotter a processor gets, the less stable it is. It counts, especially when overclocking. Just because the processor isn't reaching the 80c temperatures that it takes to kill it doesn't mean that its fine. Besides, its much cheaper to buy thermal paste to get 2-5 degrees lower than it is to buy a new heatsink. That 2-5 degrees cooler would leave more overhead for stability.

I'm still using my good old Micron mouse pad from 1986, the year I was born.
Just be on the Mozilla side.
Why do you need to take apart the hard drive? Just smack it with a sledge hammer a few times and throw it in a lake.
Buy stock in Oracle Short-sell stock in SCO
PocketScumm is a pretty cool project. Nothing beats having Sam and Max in your pocket ;)
Now all we need is a Battlefield 1492 mod...

With about 1 ghz of total processing power, it's also a portable heater.
