"Watch Blu-ray movies and HD movie trailers, or clean up jerky, dim cell phone videos for internet streaming. This is the perfect PC for today's consumers," Vivoli added.
Decoding Blu-ray's DRM with Atom N270 that also has to run the OS at the same time?! I don't think is good idea and it would be bad user experience.

I'm not sure that either one CAN'T do Blu-Ray, as long as they have the 9400 doing the heavy lifting. They can both do 1080p content with no problem, it might depend on the software player being used. I've heard that the Atom couldn't cope with some versions of PowerDVD for BR playback used for testing.

How do you figure?

This conversation is stupid. For you to develop a tumor, you have to have a multitude of misfortunes occur. First you have to have radiation of substantial energy (I doubt that the energy of a WiFi signal counts) that can penetrate the layer of dead skin cells and keratin just to get to your mitotic (actively dividing) cells to cause damage. Second, the radiation would have to cause a mutation in an exon to actually elicit an effect. Since over 99% of our DNA comprises introns (junk DNA that does not code for anything), this is highly unlikely. Third, we have enzymes whose sole responsibility it is to monitor for DNA damage due to radiation and so these enzymes would have to fail in order for the damage to go unrepaired. Finally, uncorrected DNA damage that leads to cancer is usually stopped by apoptosis (programmed cell death). For the cell not to kill itself, there would have to be a problem in its apoptotic pathway. You are more likely to die by choking on your next slice of pizza than from the added radiation of a WiFi device. Are you going to stop eating pizza?
