Transmeta -- Efficient Computing and more...

Torvalds becomes a Transmeta Fellow and goes 
to OSDL.org; Transmeta's China venture makes
the news; Transmeta becomes a topic on Slashdot 
thanks to an up-tick in the processor markets.

I like Transmeta's street address.
3990 Freedom Circle

Speaking of Fellows... Ken Thompson,
the creator of Unix, is a Fellow at
privately-held Entrisphere.

Not that it means anything, but both Transmeta and 
Entrisphere are located in Santa Clara, CA; i.e., 
for a short period of time, Santa Clara was home 
to the creator of Unix and the creator of Linux.

Torvalds has gone to Beaverton, Oregon (or there
abouts).  My expectation is that he will like Oregon.
Transmeta -- thanks to making Torvalds a Fellow -- 
enables Linus to maintain a Silicon Valley connection.
