Nice to know we're helping the seven SPE's

(Special Processing Elements, I believe - the 7 of 8 of the massed cell chips).

""In terms of supporting developers on their use of the Cell processor, Sony is forming an alliance with chipmaker Transmeta Corporation, a company renowned for its software emulation technology and it x86-compatible, software-based microprocessors. Transmeta will be offering an SPE optimizer and software that will allow developers to effectively program for the Cell processor and its seven SPEs. The tools will allow Statistical Process Control (SPC) simulation on PCs, and it will also let programmers debug and tune their programs with runtime info. Transmeta's tools will be shipped to developers in Q4 2005. ""

RE: "The highly regarded and vacant post of board archivist is hereby filled"..... er - sort of for this week (I'm off work).. Nice if someone made it a regular thing to provide a digest of articles on the board for investors who don't want to weigh through all kinds of stuff everday to find them. That with some witty repartee, some cartoons, also, or am I asking for too much. Oh yah, plus an ascending stock price.
