New Web-Based Netbook From Litl — Based On Clutter, Uncluttered 109
cananian writes "The webbook company of Gnome's own Havoc Pennington (with a healthy dose of ex-Nokia and ex-OLPC engineers) finally shed its secrecy today, with a new web site and an article in the WSJ. Technical specs on the hardware were found by Engadget last week, and now comes a bit more information on the software behind the UI. Most of the client software is written in JavaScript with GTK/Clutter bindings, and the UI has some superficial similarities to Pentagram's designs for OLPC's Sugar."

This product will be awesome for one simple reason:
The founder is named Havoc Pennington [wikipedia.org]
Seriously! That's a Bad-assed name. That's like halfway from what you might expect Duke Nukem to name his dog or child.
I'll buy one, just so I can claim I have a Havoc machine.

Really? Why?
It looks like a regular Atom netbook... Why pay $700.00USD when you can get a netbook with similar specs for half that price...
Dude, it's a joke.
Litl is going to be huge. Get it? Little? Huge! Ha. Haha.
Heh....
...Okay, you're right. I totally get why you missed that.
That wasn't so much 'whoosh' as 'wha-atever'.

With that weight, it's more of a netbrick than a netbook.

First of all, it’s light—as light as 3 pounds of feathers
Wow, and that's how much pounds of plastic?
