Noticed this...

...after the "news" broke, but on articles published much earlier in the year: Search for the Acer "Timeline" series of notebooks and you'll find that 2009's models include a... "Pentium Pro"!?

Not sure how this is going to work out for them when reviews are panning the performance (albeit by comparing GHz; shorely a 1.6GHz Atom is much more numbery than a 1.3GHz... whatever these are) and searches by clueless users will find benchmarks for ten year old chips.

Still feels like Pentium 4 is still haunting us.

Hmm..

Pentium SU2700? Catchy.

I think they should have named it the Pentium LX4050DXG-VTSX-R1 instead. That way I'd remember it the next time I shop for a PC.

I think they shoudl have named it the Pentium SUX2700. Now, that would have been really memorble.

@ Lameass - They are BOT's? That's what they do.. and being BOT's they don't really care about being "hip" or "cool" as you say. Use the internet much?

What a bunch of retards

Typing a bunch of stupid shit that makes no sense does not make you cool or hip. You just end up looking like a fucking moron.

??????

I am used to Drashek's crazy nonsense, but now we have a new mentalist to confuse my brain on a hot day? Who the hell is this sotz4totz nutbag?

I can't cope with trying to read those comments - I have already forgotten what the article was about. I'm going for a nice cold beer, calm me down a bit.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
