That seems to be the message coming out of Intel in the news today as they’re offering up to US$1m for “designers and manufacturers who can come up with sexier alternatives to the big, beige box” (according to the BBC).
Now, I’ve seen PC’s modded into toasters, remote control cars (ever seen linux run on a toaster).
Now maybe thats not exactly what they’re after. But with over €250,000 given to the winner to help mass-produce the new machine (which has to run on Intel’s Core 2 Duo chips) there’s no doubt to be a wave of interesting entries.
