[Arm-netbook] Intel at CES

[ryan]

I'd like to point out that Ars Technica, Gizmodo and Tech Republic also 
reported on Intel's Compute Card with no mention of other similar 
projects...

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/01/intels-compute-card-is-a-pc-that-can-fit-in-your-wallet/

http://www.techrepublic.com/article/ces-2017-how-the-tiny-intel-compute-card-could-revolutionize-iot-device-management/

http://gizmodo.com/intels-incredibly-tiny-compute-card-could-soon-run-your-1790826525


I was originally going to suggest that maybe Intel independently came up 
with the same idea, but then I saw just how eerily-similar the 
promotional images and pitches were to EOMA68 and now I can tell its 
clearly copying us...
