The specs that you mentioned are quite close to the old Toshiba Portege 1740ct. I recall that it came with a much smaller hard drive (6 or 10 gigs), but everything else is the same, including the crappy 4 meg trident cyblade video card. I dont recall battery life. Ran debian quite nicely though. Ironically, used 1740s are probably selling for less than $500 on the internet right now.
From the article it seems that they want to release both movies in the same year, does that seem a bit too much Matrix (if there is such a thing) in one year for the general (read: non-geek) public?
It would be interesting to see how this would be integrated with our current set of home devices. Right now it appears the cost is a bit too much for the average geek.
Ebay requires you to register a credit card to create a new account. If I recall, this was to stop people creating accounts for shill bidding, which still is a big problem. Though, if you happen to create a boatload of fake accounts there isn't anything to prevent them from posting positive feedback.
