Who cares it has no 'proper' storage when SD cards, USB flash drives and CD-R writers are so cheap these days.
Go out, do a whole load of stuff, fill the flash memory. Connect to your network at home and dump it all out or put it all on a CD. Machine is ready for next time you need it.
Surely they could have got Paris to model that thing on a beach?

We haven't yet determined what our target platforms will be. If you're a mobile device or software-stack developer, your insight and support will be very helpful in determining which configurations we can and should support in our initial efforts."
Sounds like they are being pretty open-minded about what the new app will run on.
"Skynet is far to sain for there R&D." argh, my eyes are bleeding... Skynet is far too sane for their R&D!
Tis a fair comment - but given the US history of shooting their own troops, why does it come as a surprise that an automated system for shooting their own troops might be in development?
Where were you looking for documentation?
Support for ATI does seem to be a bit lacking - though I understand that is because ATI haven't written workable drivers. Nvidia on the other hand have embraced the Linux market and installing Ubuntu on my 20" widescreen machine posed no issues at all. I'm not a hard-core Linux junkie but I managed with very liitle effort on my part.
As an aside - last time I rebuilt my games machine (XP), it took me ages to get off 640x480 on my 26" TFT television as XP set it as default and I had to fight tooth an nail to get wireless networking up and running. To me OS issues are just swings and roundabouts - XP has it's advantages ove Mac/Linux and vice-versa.
