My experience is just the reverse. I use a 2.4GHz single P4 at work, and an 867MHz Powerbook at home. The Powerbook "feels" every bit as fast as the P4, running the same applications (MS-Office, Mozilla, Thunderbird, X-Server...).
There's nothing wrong with making people "better, stronger, faster, smarter" with science, so long as being "better, stronger, faster, smarter" is beneficial to the people being made "better, stronger, faster, smarter"!!
If I was to be made a workaholic, who would benefit? My employer? Certainly. Me? Not a bit. And that's not even considering the long term side-effects and repercussions.
You never calibrated the battery? Well that's the problem, then! I have the same model Powerbook (12" rev A 867MHz non-DVI) and I can CONSISTENTLY get five and a half hours with the backlight one bar above the minimum and processor setting to reduced, even today, though my Powerbook is over a year old. I calibrated the battery first thing when I opened the box, and I always use it on mains power if possible. When I must use the battery, I let it discharge all the way till it goes to sleep before I plug it into the mains again.
In that article they say thet Byte estimates there are only 200 windows ce developers worldwide. I find that hard to believe. I'm a wince developer in India, and considering the companies other than mine that do wince work, I am pretty sure that we must have that number in India itself. And there are a whole lot of WinCE apps out there - SOMEBODY must have developed them. Comments, anybody??

MAC addresses can be spoofed, too...

Well, because it is not an enhancement?
