Open Firmware does not work on Intel processors. I believe it only works on Sparc and Power processors.

I've seen Tommy's internal operations (I interviewed with them a couple of times), and they have to be just about the most clueless fashion company in dealing with technology out there.
They've had so much turnover that they've switched platforms on average about once every 6 months, and somehow they continue to choose worse solutions.
Good god people, it's not that hard, eluxury does it, polo.com does it, what makes Tommy's opinion so worthwhile when it's their own fault they can't suceed?
This is Sci-Fi fluff, and this researcher knows it. It'd be one thing if this prof. was anywhere near reality, but he isn't. Sure mobile factories are inevitable, but technology isn't anywhere near this level today, as I believe this guy is proposing. I'm offended at his "press release" since he isn't releasing anything, much less an original idea.
