The Transmeta home page has a new message on the front end
and in the source of the html.

From the html source:

“Yes, there is a secret message, and this is it: Transmeta’s
policy has been to remain silent about its plans until it had
something to demonstrate to the world.”

“On January 19th, 2000, Transmeta is going to announce and
demonstrate what Crusoe processors can do.”

“Simultaneously, all of the details will go up on this Web site
for everyone on the Internet to see.”

“Crusoe will be cool hardware and software for mobile
applications. Crusoe will be unconventional, which is why we wanted
to let you know in advance to come look at the entire Web site in
January, so that you can get the full story and have access to all
of the real details as soon as they are available.”
