Yep, the Teapot is one of the highlights of the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. Possibly the most exciting teapot I've ever seen! https://goo.gl/phot

Yep, the Teapot is one of the highlights of the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. Possibly the most exciting teapot I've ever seen! https://goo.gl/photos/quo8W9BE75VQqkmr6 https://goo.gl/photos/quo8W9BE75VQqkmr6 Other highlights include the working Babbage Engine, with a rather good lecture. Antihighlights include the otherwise excellent display on the history of integrated circuits, sponsored by Intel, which doesn't mention ARM in any way anywhere... The museum's totally worth a look if you're there.

The Babbage Engine was great, and has now moved on: http://www.mv-voice.com/news/2016/01/29/computer-museum-bids-farewell-to-babbage-engine http://www.mv-voice.com/news/2016/01/29/computer-museum-bids...

Do they have a life-size wax figure of Lena Söderberg [1]? If not, someone should donate the money for one. [1] http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~chuck/lennapg/lenna.shtml http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~chuck/lennapg/lenna.shtml

  Perhaps just a display copy of the original magazine?

To be "fair" (?), the opposite of Intel in this context isn't ARM but the sum total of IC fabs and designs done outside Intel, of which ARM is a small part.

In the precursor Boston Computer Museum, they had the Newell teapot on a turntable, with a computer display next to it showing a rotating computer graphic version turning at the same speed. I thought it was a pretty clever display.
