AMD’s Puma Platform Officially Pounces, But Can It Pwn?
11:15PM Wilson Rothman | Today AMD officialised its Puma notebook platform—AMD Turion X2 Ultra dual-core mobile processors with ATI Radeon HD 3000 graphics—”for superior 3D performance and HD image quality, with industry-leading wireless for greater throughput and range.” As we’ve noted in the past, it’s a consumer-grade laptop play, and performance-wise it’s aimed a bit lower than the upcoming but delayed Centrino 2 from Intel.

Still it’s good AMD’s finally getting it out the door, fighting the good fight. [TG Daily] More »

iPod + Nike’s Fat, Moldy Grandpa: Apple II Pumas
3:40AM Matt Buchanan | Before iPod + Nike, there was Apple II + Puma. The built-in pedometer in these 1980s clodhoppers look like a recipe for some cracklin’ good shin splints, if you ask me. After pounding the pavement, you download the time and distance to the Apple II via its game port to track your progress, along with your knees’ crippling descent into being cartilage-free. I think they didn’t take off because they lacked that crucial Walkman hookup. Hit the jump for a closer view. More »
