Lenovo S12 First Netbook to Use NVIDIA's Ion Chipset
NVIDIA's Ion is finally in an actual netbook, the (as we expected) Lenovo S12 netbook which will ship in August. The Ion chipset combines an Intel Atom CPU with NVIDIA's GeForce 9400 GPU, creating a netbook that while still netbook-ish will provide enough CPU / GPU power to be reasonably multimedia-savvy and also capable of playing a decent number of video games.

What would a Twitter TV show look like?
IF you just can’t get enough of Twitter on the web, in the news, on your phone, on Rove and on Oprah and in the conversations you have at the water cooler, then you’re in luck.
Soon, according to reports, you’ll be able to watch a whole show dedicated to it as well.
The Associated Press today reported the website had teamed up with a production company to “bring the immediacy of Twitter to the TV screen”.
The show would apparently be unscripted and would pit contestants against each other to track down celebrities. Presumably, the task will be something a bit harder than finding them and clicking “Follow”.
News of the show led to the usual outrage on Twitter, where thousands of users added their thoughts under the #notwittertv tag — the more hysterical of them claiming that the site was now officially “dead”.*
Mashable tried to calm things down by reporting there was no official Twitter TV show, but instead made it worse:
“Biz Stone has confirmed that Twitter has signed a contract with production company Reveille and Brillstein for a TV show, but emphasises that this is not an ‘official’ Twitter show — it’s a non-exclusive contract and multiple companies are currently working on TV projects related to Twitter.” (my emphasis)
Does this mean we could see not only a new show, but a whole new genre of Twitter television? A primetime showdown between Twitter Idol and Australia’s Got Twitter? Lord help us.
* Twitter, if you are to believe its users, has died and continued to exist so many times it makes cats look weak.
