The Intel Atom is only half of what it should being stuck to all of those full-sized mobile chipsets. I imagine that it must be using atom+poulsbo to achieve it. I think Intel delayed Poulsbo's availabity just so that they may make all previous Atom products obsolete in one sickening blow...the asshats!
On a side note, the dell inspiron mini 9 finally makes no-moving-parts a reality in a mainstream laptop!...I value that more than an increase in battery life--not to say that increased battery life isn't awesome, but we all know that no moving parts is teh hawt, holy grail.
Nehalem is really the realization of what many slashdotters have claimed before......power efficiency - and Intel delivers.
Putting the cringe-worthy PR tone aside (are you connected to intel in any way?), the lowest-clocked 'mainstream desktop' Bloomfield CPU (running at 2.66 GHz, 45nm, quad-core) has a TDP of 130W! Now, efficient or not, that is one hot-and-sweaty processor, making me wonder that if Nehalem truly does have '1.1x~1.25x / 1.2x~2x the single / multi-threaded performance of the latest Penryn ('Yorkfield', 2.66GHz, 45 nm, quad-core, 95W TDP) at the same power level', why wouldn't they let the efficiency gains carry the performance increase of Nehalem for the same TDP?
Look I may or may not be missing something, but I have been reading plenty of (uncomfortably positive, perhaps bankrolled) material on nehalem, yet I can't shake the perception that, with a huge TDP increase, the return of hyperthreading and the cannibalization of L2 cache for L3 cache, Nehalem seems far more Pentium 4 than Penryn.
Even better: how about a strip of heads from a platters center to its perimeter (i.e. radius) --no moving read head! Taking into account that the density of the read heads would be insufficient for the number of tracks, simply stager the heads (my diagram). Surely this is feasible?!
...wouldn't it be possible to multiply a hdds thoughput by adding multiple heads per platter? Actually come to think of it are all platters read/write in a RAID0 fashion?
Why don't we just accept that many hypothetical dystopians will die from exploring decrepit old waste storage facilities, but that we must accept that trial and error will be the only sure way that they learn that the warm glowing cylinders cause pain and death-- Surely the true tragedy would be the annihilation of our very own civilisation.
In fact, recently a crooked Australian cop by the name of Mark Standen working as "NSW Crime Commission investigator" was spied on by way of hacking his computer and recording the webcam output. What was ironic was that the guys job as said investigator meant that he was that he knew (almost) every surveillances tactic in the book! It was a case of a (police anti-corruption) watcher being watched by an inner circle of the same watchers...
The problem isn't that it shut down-- that's fine; the problem is that a software update for a nuclear power plant was actually allowed to produce an unexpected/unplanned event!
Having one hung tab make the others unusable is not cool, in addition ive encountered a few infinite 'yes-no dialogue' loops attacks that force you to either select 'yes', or force quite-- an attack vector that shouldn't have gone past v0.1a IMO.

Of course all of these could be made as addons, but as I have not been able to find such addons, they might as well be built in as they should represent core functionality. My final secret little dream addon is a grammar addon, oh how the net could be a better place;)
...but chanting "change" doesn't rebuild the economy, chanting "change" doesn't fix healthcare, chanting "change" doesn't rebuild civil rights, reduce corruption, increase education levels, reduce poverty, save a family from foreclosure, combat global warming, or turn people away from drugs or crime.
Indeed the lack of any form of extensive debate of specific policy leads me to believe that either US political competitions have degenerated into mere popularity contests, or that the majority of the American people are so disillusioned with their future prospects that mere catchphrases are all that they can hang on to.
Barack Obama has been compared to both JFK and M. L. King, which, as much as it may be a genuine reflection of the inspiration Obama provides, such comparisons all too often result in deep disappointments and furthering democratic apathy for all that bought into it. I really wish it weren't the case, but I think that the US as a whole is on course for big disappointment followed by the sobering reality that things are actually worse than they appeared, and that "change" is often a very bitter pill.
I mean force internet services to make viewable every last piece of info they store about userA--the entire profile. Off of the top of my head I think that would be a good thing to reign-in the googles of the world... It sounds that they seeking something like that in the bill:
requires network operators to make information about the user's access to the internet available to the user

Actually MSI is making the linux version of its 'Wind' notebook with 50% less RAM, 50% less battery and taking away bluetooth!
Needless to say, many are miffed that they would have an unwanted software charge attached just to get the more capable hardware!
MSI announced two versions of the "Wind" UMPC notebook, Windows versions and Linux versions.
They are pulling this scam too by making the linux version with 50% less RAM, 50% less battery and taking away bluetooth!

Independent of this article I was bloody well going to ask for a refund on the unused XP as the precedent is already several years old IIRC. This news just makes my surety to demand it off them go from 50% to 95%.

...Who knows if there's any significant air transport market for airships to fill in this day-and-age, but I thinks it's interesting to speculate whether fixed-wing aircraft would be the dominant air transport technology that it is today had the Hindenburg not gone down. OTOH maybe airships would have been killed of by fixed-wings regardless.
...and on another note, has anyone noticed that 99% of wikipedia's screenshots of windows apps have gone from XP to Vista? It's almost as if something, some...strange force, is trying to convince me that anything less than Vista will get me laughed at...
