Intel is developing its own take on the mini-tablet, with a new ultra-mobile PC platform to be announced at this week's Intel Developer Forum in Beijing. The big surprise? It's based on Linux. In the meantime, Intel announced new details of its forthcoming Santa Rosa PC platform, including a significant revision of the Core 2 Duo chip.

That's a good reason. I've also been planning a nifty AppleTV mod that involves replacing the HDD with a CF card and using it as an LTSP client with cachefs on the CF to speed access its NFS volumes on the terminal server. But this is caching a network resource, where flash should be a strong performer.
Flash caches are also popular amongst the SPCR crowd, since the sound of a hard drive spinning up is enough to make them cry. They like to hear the sound of their own digestive system over their computer.
