Valmet Automotive announces plans to build Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid {Engadget}
Jul 16th 2008 11:00PM If I understand things correctly, the car will go for about $80K. Not too bad I guess.... still way higher than anything I can afford. But it's nice to know that it's not like 300K or something. Green needs to get cheaper!

The design looks nice.

Mar 7th 2008 3:48PM What part of "made in Canada" did you not understand? Of course it can play hockey! (at $200m+ it better, anyways)
MacBook Air patent is mocking you {Engadget}

Ok, I'll admit my reply was a bit condescending, sorry. It's late, and I jumped (http://www.xkcd.com/386/ :p )
My point was that thought the Eee might have "low" specs, it is far from being under-performing as you were hinting.
You have to admit though that your post "highlighting" the Eee shortcomings in relation to the Air. Again, sorry for namecalling you a "fanboy", that was harsh on my part :p

Just because the "speed" of the processor is slower than the Air, doesn't mean that it's nerfed. The Eee Can run Half-Life 2 at a decent FPS, all for $350.

And yes, the Eee has been "hackintoshed".

Do some research next time. It's a dead give away of fanboyism when you don't.
HP's new UMPC 2133 hotness to run VIA, not Penryn? {Engadget}
Feb 20th 2008 12:39PM From what I've read, Via's Isaiah can run Crysis.
I think that sums it all up in terms of performance questions :)

Feb 20th 2008 12:36PM yeah, and you can grab an 8 Gig Eee for $500 today. If you wait some months I bet Assus will eventually come out with a 16Gig for 500 (6 months or less? who knows)

Amtek intros the iTablet T221 UMPC {Engadget}
Dec 18th 2007 12:42PM A bit of digging led me to this link: http://online.farandsoft.com/shop/detalle.asp?ida=500100372 (8th post down from original link)
Unfortunately it's way out of my league.... 1552,5 € --> $2,238.08 USD
Looks nice though (but I was hoping for sub-500!)
