“msi breaks wind” read all about it. So as soon as it is released we can look forward to all of the toilet humor.

C’mon guys, l would almost rather have an epod or an ipod or an X in the name than all these wheezy, grunty, squealing, genital/fart joke based names.

@ offtopic. l think the “non-hacks” deserve a separate column or a different color. l don’t mind non-hacks as this is pretty much the only site l visit for this kinda stuff, but it is interfering with my head-based filter when l miss a day or 2 l am going back several pages to see the real hacks, it isn’t exactly fun.

I somehow doubt MSI owns Asus, not only based on the fact that I have never even heard it suggested (nor could I even find a wisp of a rumor of such), but also (from WP):

MSI Revenue: NT$74.24 billion (2005)
Asus Revenue: NT$541.8 Billion (2006)

I always thought MSI was small-time compared to Asus, and now I can see that I was right.

@7: That’s great and all, but USD 400-500 (Wind, EEE PC) != USD 900+ (that Japanese thing I never heard of). If I’m willing to spend that kind of scratch, my market choices open up substantially.

Sure, there's still "daily" hacks, but the extra crap is just that, crap. It makes the site fluffed up and extraneous. I’ve been coming here for a long time, and I think it’s almost time to leave.

I've been coming here for a long time because I'm interested in the full write ups for the hacks featured here on the site. These posts about "Mr. Modchip", the Ironkey (it isn't home brew and the post isn't even about hacking it), and the MSI Wind hitting the FCC aren't hacks.
