Naw, they are probably trying to take a new stance. Look, like the picked on good guy, sell more software. I don't know it might be a gamble but I think they see it as minimal.
I know I am going to rant and sound quite perturbed....please forgive me.
Ummmm are we still allowed to vote on whether or not crap like this should even be considered!?
I know there are tons of doctors and scientists who grew up tampering with rodents and sometimes people that would say it is a necessary thing.
Come on though....haven't we gone too far in the wrong direction when we start enhancing children. Who of all of you out there actually want to send your son/daughter out to a plastik surgeon!? Let alone monkey around with the very essence of our beings. Oops sorry mr/mrs. braindead....I spliced the wrong gene and your boy is now a girl or vice versa....or, is now some hideous creature which could also be described as Elephant Man jr.
What is our deal, society as a whole, I dont think we care enough to stop crap like this. ABC mentions the possibility, however doesn't offer an e-mail address for a response to this crap.
Enough ranting.....there could be actual benefits from this....however I tend to believe it is more or less a justified frankenstein experiment. 'No I don't mean they are creating Frankenstein' (maybe),what my metaphor is referring to is the fact that these scientists just love to play with life. Things they, to tell you the perfect truth DO NOT even partially understand. Dont believe me?....there is a report on a doctor on TLC this week....who removed a monkeys head and put it on another monkey's body. Supposedly for a brain transplant.....woohoo he restored blood supply to the brain but the monkey can't move anything below the neck.
Now HOW in all hells is that a brain transplant!?!!!@?!?!?!
Am I wrong or are they just getting a lil scarey!?
How bout 1 for each planet....or 2 if ya wanna get real wacky.......then have one way way way out between Pluto and that other thing people like to call planet 'x'-windows.
We could use the excuses of 'education' and early warning system for 'meteors' 'rogue aliens' 'more extensive scientific study'.
One 'big' serious reason AMD will make it with the Athlon. Same reason Linux is getting a 'huge' influx of microsoft junkies.
They are fed up and sick of paying too much for hyped up mediocre products.
I think that anyone that has put a 450 MHZ Intel and a 450 MHZ AMD up against each other has noticed no real difference except for maybe the 300+ dollars.
Likewise....how much does Winblows 95/98 cost brand spankin new!? How bout NT/Server with all the licensing costs!? Then d/load Linux and which one actually has more security/functionality!?
The fat cats have eaten their fill....unless they come out with something absolutely phenomenal......their done. They've been in the same mindset/chipset so long....they know nothing else.
Which is prolly why Intel sited TransMeta as competition.
They know we are tired of the hype and so does TransMeta. So ya know, I hope they do come out with something that blows everyone outta the water. Then, we can respect them not only for what they have accomplished....but also...for giving us the benefit of not being duped yet again by hype.

A thinking chip. It reads, it interprets, it functions. Cross platform, cross lingual. Different material. Should be out soon.

And for all you Linux guru's out there they appear to be running Linux....though which flavor I can't tell.
and they probably do not.
Have they come up with cold processing!?
-More Hype To Come-
Hey take your time as long as they taste good with those super nachos your making! I'd like mine medium rare by the way.
;-)
---mind interface!?---
shhhh it's just me I wont tell noone....
Hell Yes!
I'm sure we'd all love to be working on something so cool and so state of the art that it is shrouded in secrecy.
