I think it's also interest to note that Dave Taylor, of id software fame
(Doom, Quake), is now at Transmeta.

His previous company, crack.com folded up business a few weeks ago, and in
the process, released all their source code for their last game, Golgotha.
Interesting news on its own.

But this might give some clues into why Dave joined Transmeta;

and
http://www.crack.com/about/ddt/faq-0.1.0

The FAQ reads curiously like the patent in several spots.

A telling Pinky FAQ snippet;

> Q. This will never beat Intel processors.
>
> A. Linux will never beat Windows.
