I missed that one (largely due to the fact that I stopped visiting that site due to pop-up ads which defy some of my blockers). But hey, at least the Mac news world is starting to cover it! For what its worth, I emailed a few of the other ones I expected to see this story covered on and suggest they "get with it." Let's hope they do! @Ed

My MSI Wind, hacked to run OSX, runs an Atom but the Notes client thinks it's a PPC merely because it's not a CoreXDuo. Fail.
