Got any old iMacs laying around?

| something that will run OS X? A few can be upgraded, but OS X is really made
| for something a bit, well, snappier. Instead of wishing for them to die,
| though, why not just install Ubuntu on them?

Will 'netbooks' crush laptop sales?
,----[ Quote ]
| Advanced Micro Devices has no immediate plans to release a processor designed
| for low-cost laptops, sometimes called netbooks, saying its not yet clear
| whether or not growing shipments of these devices will cannibalize sales of
| mainstream laptops.
|
| Some low-end netbook models use an existing AMD Geode processor, but the
| company hasn't announced a specific processor aimed at this product segment,
| apart from general plans to release chips based on a low-power architecture
| called Bobcat in 2010.

Intel rebrands Centrino Atom
,----[ Quote ]
| It's dropped an Atom bomb, and there are expected to be many casualties.
| Probably the brand manager for the Centrino Atom will be one of the worst
| affected by the fallout.
|
| Intel capitulated on this Centrino brand after just five months, opting
| instead to use just the Atom brand across this part of its product line.

Intel & Microsoft Killed the $100 Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| The article points that the stand taken by Intel and Microsoft is similar to
| the stand by large drug companies who, instead of working for the illnesses
| that plague the poor, (such as malaria) choose to focus on low-volume,
| high-margin drugs for cancer, heart ailments and diabetes.
