Intel reaches for the ’smartphone zone’ with Moorestown-based Atom Z6, comes up shorthanded
Posted on May 5, 2010 | No CommentsWe've seen the future of Intel's mobile platform, and it isn't all roses and sunshine. Three years after the chipmaker told us Moorestown would reduce Atom's energy consumption by a factor of 20, company execs told us earlier today that they've more than reached that goal with the new Z6xx series. Problem is, in the smartphone realm Intel's competitors haven't been sitting idle; according to one of Chipzilla's cantaloupe-and-magenta bar charts, it seems the company has merely caught up in terms of battery life. That's not to say the chips aren't worlds better than previous Atoms -- Intel sees 1.5GHz smartphone processors that slay Snapdragons and up to 1.9GHz in a tablet PC variety -- but 5 hours of web browsing is most decidedly not the 24 hours of productivity Intel previously promised. Besides, who knows: Qualcomm also has a 1.5GHz SoC in the works, though it may not be available by the time Intel's chips ship in the second half of the year.
None of this is to say that Intel won't continue to dominate in the netbook marketplace -- we shudder to think at the potential when combining a nice, chunky battery with Intel's nearly leakproof new chips, and perhaps a small serving of switchable graphics while we're at it. But without a single new MID or smartphone to show us this morning -- Aava Mobile and OpenPeak's offerings seemed unchanged from our previous encounters -- we're not sure if the company's other mobile ambitions have any sway. Not technical enough of a discussion for you? Peruse our gallery for the nitty-gritty.Intel reaches for the 'smartphone zone' with Moorestown-based Atom Z6, comes up shorthanded originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 05 May 2010 02:44:00 EST.

DLO WallDock takes the cables out of iDevice charging
Posted on December 3, 2009 | No Comments
I'll go on record and say that $25 seems like a lot of money for something like this. It's an intriguing idea, though, and might make a good stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift for the Apple fan in your life.

Privacy versus power: smart grids are the new battlefield
Posted on November 19, 2009 | No Comments
I think we can all agree that protecting our own personal privacy is a generally good idea. There are an enormous number of ways that our privacy can be encroached in a given day. Some of them are "for our own good", or "just the cost of doing business" in the modern age. Some of the ways our privacy may be violated are extremely esoteric and not very likely (hard drive activity LEDs, for example! PDF: Information Leakage from Optical Emanations). Generally speaking, what I do in my own home is largely my own business, and not the business of anyone else. But the technology behind so-called "smart grids" for delivering electricity to appliances in a way that maximizes efficiency may leak a lot of personal information about you and your domestic habits.

All those gadgets we’re using? Yeah, we’re draining a whole lot of power these days.
Posted on September 21, 2009 | No CommentsYou know what would be a fun experiment? To go outside and find your electricity meter. All those laptops and netbooks and iPhones and PS3s and speaker docks you've got plugged in are, in fact, drawing power. As such, we're all essentially killing the planet. I don't know about you, but I'm patting myself on the back right now for being so awesome.
