A "DS ripoff"?! DS = Dual Screen right? I can count. One screen. Why is it a ripoff? Because the bloody thing has a hinge and closes? Like a laptop? A cellphone? What about those stupid things girls (and cross dressers) use to powder their noses? It's got a hinge. Maybe this is a ripoff of the things girls (and cross dressers) use to powder their noses! Oh, and Crysis is a ripoff of Halo is a ripoff of Goldeneye 64 is a ripoff of Doom because it was the first first person shooter? Did I mention Doom is a ripoff of World War II? That had guns too. Look at the stats of the machine. Look at what it does, allows emulation, and open development, and OS support, and notice... IT IS NOTHING LIKE A DS! I am not interested in a DS, if someone gave one to me for free, I'd just sell it on craigslist or something. Pandora, I want. I want it bad! Are you blind and dumb? A “DS ripoff”?!

Sat, 31 Jan 2009 21:40:51 +0000 http://www.crunchgear.com/?p=68908#comment-976773 [...] Windows 7 has proven to be an excellent scaler, as it seems to run excellently not just on top-end hardware but on hardware so outdated as to be laughable. This U560 UMPC, which I’m sure is an excellent little machine for playing King’s Quest IV on, actually worked quite well with 7 despite only sporting a 600MHz Atom A100 processor. I’m beginning if I’ll be able to run 7 on my GP2X or Pandora!
