I have no idea why it excites me so much that they now have these for the 1000H.

Most big buildings will have a public restroom with a biohazard sharps disposal bucket in it. I'd be a little too skeeved to pick them up off the street, personally.

Had fun. Still think porn store interviews are a good idea.

Actually it's profoundly common to find chips that can overclock, especially 200 mhz. You can sneeze and overclock a modern desktop processor that much. With better cooling, you can overclock a modern notebook processor to stratospheric levels. It has to do with reliability, power consumption, and yield. I'd bet that some of these Atoms could run at 2Ghz or more, but they can't consistently manufacture those parts enough to want to warranty them at that speed, and they run cooler at 1.6 than they do at 1.8.

Brad Linder Right. What surprises me isn't the fact that you can overclock the device...
it's the fact that two of the first manufacturers to include the chip in
their machines are including a hardware button that will do it for you.
Typically you need to install software or go into the BIOS to overclock a
CPU.

in Adobe AIR for Linux Released on Tombuntu
I'm using Hardy, and it popped up prompts to install for me as well. I highly recommend "Twhirl" if you use Twitter. Just remember to turn off the "hide on minimize" or it will minimize and never ever come back. The textures were a little wonky the first time I ran it too, but now it has transparency and looks nice.
