    Yet Another App Store. This Time, It’s Intel

    Posted on January 8, 2010 | No Comments
    Intel CEO Paul Otellini at CES announced an app store for applications on netbooks. The store is called AppUp Center, and it's a place where users can purchase programs that cater to a netbooks’ unique screen size and mobility. Intel AppUp center launched today for Windows and will support Moblin-based open source operating systems and a number of runtime environments later this year. The first set of apps are now available for download, for free or to purchase, and more will be added as they are validated. App categories include entertainment, business, games, education, health and social media. Additionally, Acer, ASUS, Dell and Samsung have announced plans to collaborate with Intel on their own app stores.

    Oh noes! Snow Leopard update will de-Hackintosh Atom Hackintoshes

    Posted on November 2, 2009 | No Comments
    If you've installed OS X onto laptop with an Intel Atom processor, do not update your version of Snow Leopard until further notice. Rumor has it that Apple has removed Atom support from 10.6.2. This means your Hackintosh will fail unless you mess around with the kernel.

    Preview: Snow Leopard (10A432)

    scaled105579_boxWe're a few weeks away from the official release of Snow Leopard and I'm here to tell you things are really heating up in the realm of Exchange Support, OpenCL, and being able to click on an icon to make all of its windows appear. Sorry. I'm just a crank. Every time Apple comes out with a new version of OS X I expect bells, whistles, and dancing dogs. This is an incremental upgrade, as we described it back at WWDC, and it's a strong one. However, it's not nearly as exciting at first blush - at least visually - but it does give countless IT guys some serious tentpole action especially considering built-in Exchange support. This review is based on the purported Gold Master, 10A432, the version that will be shipped to stores world-wide this September. It may or not be the official final version but I've been using versions of Snow Leopard for about two months now.

  • Why Intel’s Processors Aren’t Big on Cellphones

    Why Intel’s Processors Aren’t Big on Cellphones

    Posted on July 5, 2009 | No Comments
    Under the hood of most netbooks lies a tiny Intel Atom chip. Intel’s low-power processor has fast become the silicon of choice for tiny computers — but not cellphone makers. Until last week’s Nokia-Intel partnership, most handset makers showed almost no interest in the world’s biggest maker of PC processors. Meanwhile, Intel rival ARM, whose chips [...]

    Intel: We’re trying to reduce redundant redundancy

    Posted on June 18, 2009 | No Comments
    intel-logoIn my youth, all those long years ago, I kept up with hardware -- specifically CPUs -- a lot more than I do now. Of course, it was easy when there was only the 486, 486DX, 486SX and 486SLC CPUs to keep track of. Now we have a mind numbing array of CPUs and codenames: Core, Core 2, Core 2 Duo, Celeron, Atom, Xeon, Conroe, Kentsfield, Yorkfield, Lions and Tigers and Bears oh my! Intel recognizes that they're confusing customers with all of these nonsense words, and they're working to streamline the product line.
