They're just gearing up to tell us about how the Pineview dual core processor is so much more power efficient and better in every way. #inteldualcoreatom330
Considering the amount of power it uses, I'm pretty sure it's more an issue of it not being cooled enough than "it's just way too hot". Adequate cooling would probably not make it into a netbook anymore. #inteldualcoreatom330
One has to question how effectively the device could be used by the visually impaired. It looks like it has a text based menu system (though presumably it could read menu options aloud) and those controls don't look like they have braille on them. Plus there's the question of how well blind people can aim a camera at a page for effective text capture. Lets just hope they tested all those factors. #intelreaderebooktexttospeech
My hope is that maybe, somewhere, deep inside the bowels of Apple, a team of rogue developers are creating a super-secret Snow Leopard install disc that you can use to dual-boot your PC legally, and for that reason they're trying to close the Atom support so they can sell it in a sanctioned version. #apple
Speaking of merciless gods, what does it take for Giz to bequeath unto me a star? I'm unemployed and will remain so unless I have such an honor to put on my resume.
@TJ: First rule of star club is don't beg for stardom. When it happens, it happens, until then, enjoy Giz and try not to be a douche or troll (not saying you are, just that that helps in the path to stardom). That or steal OMG Ponies! account. #apple
Apple will eventually lock out Atom, or any other processor they don't currently use in a product, just like they're locking out Palm from using iTunes.
Apple is a hardware business and if something might reduce sales of that hardware, they're gonna have to put the hurt on. *SMACK* #apple
@zer0zen: Palm is nowhere near the same as the Atom processor. Palm tries to break into Apple's proprietary software, whereas Intel simply makes the procs for other computers. Hackintosh systems have been around for a long time, and many of them use the same exact processors that Apple uses. #apple
@Kaiser-Machead: The essence of a Hackintosh is taking Apple's OS and running it on non-Apple hardware, which Apple specifically does not want because it cuts them out of a potential hardware sale. Palm bustin' into iTunes is the same deal because a Pre getting into the iTunes world means non-Apple hardware gets into the ecosystem which can reduce iPod/iPhone sales. Apple wants to protect their walled garden at all costs.
Basically, don't mess with Apple's hardware sales or they'll come a knockin'!#apple
The video reminds me of all the times I tried to put Linux partitions on my Mac drives and use a boot loader. Works for a while, only a little while. Eventually you'll do something to kill it.
I've recently become a fan of VM's for alternative OS's. So much easier to experiment with. Doesn't help with the Mac OS though, sorry. #apple

Ahh well, I love Giz too much to be bitter. I'll just go drink a bottle of Morgan and cry myself to sleep.
...and to think I was willing to shamefully prostitute myself for that star. #apple
