P4man: What is the advantage of buying a Centrino laptop over a comparable Pentium-M based laptop with a competing 80x.xx WLAN card ?

Intel: It will not be called Centrino, and it will not be an "all intel" solution. It wont be allowed to carry the new flashy pink Centrino logo either.

LOL, I actually have a friend who worked on the Centrino project and he basically told me it was a great big marketing gimmick months ago. I'm sure most people on AT etc. won't be fooled but the general population loves a fun, new name for existing technology!

Where does it say that? If so, you have just justified software piracy.

piracy is NOT comic relief!!!!

It is illegal to to copy snow white and the seven dwarfs unaltered but legal to take a clip of that movie and overlay the actual voices with those from politicians for example.

Depends on your definition of comic relief. One can find it hilarious that they paid $0.20 for a cd and placed a $100+ program on it.

No that's not at all funny, and I agree with you but copying WinXP and selling it for 1$ from a stall in shanghai is completely different to making a satire out of a well known website that does no economic harm whatsoever.

But this is going OT, PM me if you want to discuss further.
