You just wait, mister “I have a low UID so I think I’m oblivious to corporate death camps”.

Let’s see how much you’re laughing when you’re vaporized a giant shiny death ray made from thousands of AOL/TW CDs. You think it’ll never happen, but it’s already begun.

PalmInfocenter: Motorola Unveils 200 MHz Dragonball-ARM Chip

Motorola has announced two new DragonBall microprocessor products — the DragonBall MX1 and DragonBall Super VZ.

The DragonBall MX1, the first ARM core-based DragonBall microprocessor, offers speeds up to 200 MHz. Also, it provides the first on-chip Bluetooth ready applications processor announced from a major semiconductor supplier. While Palm hasn’t yet specified which company will make the processors in its OS 5.0 devices expected next year, the MX1 is a prime candidate.

And you broke Rule #5: keep your pie hole shut!

big guy and rusty the boy robot rocks.

hmm, i think i have a copy of original limited series somewhere. i should go looking for that sometime…

weezer’s site is actually useful, and it gets updated. what a concept. oh, they have some pretty well encoded asf’s (windows media v8). much better than microsofts last gen encoding. (see farmclub for an example of that ickiness).
