Or is this another cool thing that stays in Japan and eventually trickles down to the U.S.?
What is that suppose to mean? Unless your a die-hard game fan drewling over the latest Playstation model, Japan doesn't really produce any 'cool' toys.
I bet that most of Sony's innovative products are developed right here in the U.S.
Why does every piece of hardware listed on/. have a 'might run linux' rumor attached to it. If a rumor really exists, provide a link to it to show us that it's not just another vapor-linux story.
Reality is, when I buy a piece of equipment which has mostly proprietary hardware in it, I want the OS to be made FOR that piece of hardware. Not something like Linux hacked-to-the-hills to run on it.
I wish all you Script Kiddies would grow up a little bit. You have no idea how the whole stock market work. Unlike in your 'Play World', there are rules in the real world so problems don't happen as often. If you've paying attention to the BeOS IPO, you'll notice that it's stock peeked and has now returned to almost the same price it opened at a week ago. This means a bunch of people earned a lot of money, it also means a lot of people have lost money. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens with RHAT and you all loose your money.
65000000 * 10 = 650000000
Try 65000000* $12.00 = 780000000
