What eats, shoots, takes all your money and blames it on foreign exchange markets, and leaves?

The PANDORA!

Sorry, Karel asked for it...

It's not the panda who blames the exchange, it's the panda spotters.

(I wrote "panda hunters" first, but, well... a panda ain't much of a hunt, innit?)

Well I don't know of any, but if I went to panda forums, which I don't, I'd sort of expect to find some there. Perhaps they're not widely available yet ?

nah, the forums are very heavily policed, any dissent and the thread is closed/deleted/OP is banned, etc.

That's not true. There are some examples, but generally it's pretty liberal over there. I must say, that you are drifting way off topic in this thread. Not that I care much about that. RX-51 will be much to expensive for me, anyway. And without proper controls, I suppose.

Besides the OS, I wonder if the massive TI layoffs announced last week will affect the release considering they're making the boards for the RX-51.

Doubt it... first off, even if the release is scheduled for Q3 2009 the boards would have been designed and prototyped already, which is usually the part that requires the most "labour" from the manufacturer. Once that's done final mass production is often done by a lot of machinery and very few people (this is in terms of circuit boards and digital components).

Secondly, companies tend to lay off employees from sectors where they feel the employees aren't absolutely necessary for profitability of the business; this typically means administrative staff, customer support, etc production line staff are usually one of the last sectors to get chopped (assuming that you don't have more production line staff than are required in the first place to fulfil orders... aka North American Auto Industry) because they're the ones that are directly responsible for immediate generation of revenue. You cut R&D staff, it'll come back to haunt your profitability in a few months... you cut production staff, it affects your profitability almost immediately.
