I'm sure they could do it cheaper anyways. :D

We have been using hafnium oxide instead of silicone to make chip for several years now. Silicone can't handle the tight lattice distances at such small scales anymore.

Intel doesn't exactly have a history of being open and honest, but then again, what major corporation does?

Apple. Oh wait...

IE9beta probably doesn't have the DRM loaded yet which gives it a speed advantage for now. We saw the same giant jumps in speed with Vista and Win7 betas until the DRM was added.

Coshocton County is mostly Amish. So I guess the bishop caught wind of wi-fi's, laptops and generator using Amish and put his foot down shutting down this devil-laden network!

1500mAh may be the high water mark for cell-phones, but certainly not the current high water mark. I know my Roomba vacuum uses 3000mAh batteries and I can even get 4500's if needed. But then carrying about a cellphone with a Roomba battery attached to it would certainly suck.

Just like the smart car, this new design doubles as a coffin too. For a few dollars more you can get the optional sunroof for those that want open casket ceremonies.
