SFist Tech Roundup: Mysterious Origami

As for us, we're just confused by the marketing. Early teaser ads (which have since been removed from the internets) showed the predictable groups of young, attractive hipsters exchanging pictures and e-mail and music while out in the desert or lounging by a pool. Intel's vision, however, is straight out of "The Flintstones." A woman asks her husband for permission to buy a dress; he's all pissed off that she interrupted his Water Buffalo meeting and demands she provide links to show how much it costs. Some dude is looking at soft-core porn in a doctor's office when his boss e-mails him to scrawl some notes on a car ad. A helpless woman gets lost in the city (you know those women drivers!) and needs a computer to point out the door that's right in front of her. We expected a little pterodactyl to pop out of the thing and say, "It's a living!"
