I think Transmeta's product is pretty good. There is some value in what they are doing, battery life aside. It makes alot more sense to have code do what hardware is currently doing on Intel chips.
I know Intel has chips similar to Transmeta's, but not as good as (from what I've heard from impartial sources).
I think the speed issue is moot, because past about 300k (my current computer at work), you're not talking about HUGE differentials.
What is interesting is the heat issue. I hate the heat my work laptop generates, and loved using the Transmeta one...much cooler.

As for the SSB/Citicorp deal - I agree. Why was that allowed to pass through unhindered when they are KILLING AOL/TWX? Seems odd to me. The combination of those two companies has created a behemoth that is manipulating markets in unbelievable ways. They will be broken up, eventually, I think.
I think that SSB was the purchaser this AM of the 1mm shares...it wouldn't surprise me. That's how they are making the money back on the merger.....
