Linux Computer in USB Key Form-Factor 149
PMBjornerud writes "A start-up located in the French Alps near Grenoble is readying a tiny ARM-based Linux single-board computer (SBC) in a USB key form-factor.

The story is worth a read- it's very strange. Personally I think this guy is just vying to replace Tony Snow at the White House.
