In the race to build a better server microchip, Intel, Sun and IBM are the likely leaders of a pack that also includes AMD, Fujitsu, MIPS and HP. IBM's Power4 and Intel's x86, especially Xeon, have an especially bright future, say chip industry analysts, while HP's Alpha is being characterized as a business failure.

The 64-bit microprocessors coming down the pike from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices may one day help PC servers rival the power of Unix boxes and may transform the PC desktop. But experts do not expect users to adopt these new processors right away, and in the short term, businesses may not want to make the switch, either.

"The presence of unwanted or unknown animal species in food, can have a range of effects from benign to deathly serious and is of great concern for public health, economic, religious and legal reasons. Manufacturers and consumers alike have been unable to examine the composition of food at a molecular level. However, for the first time, the bioMérieux FoodExpert-ID Array is being used to detect DNA sequences specific to an animal, allowing species composition to be determined, safeguarding the purity and authenticity of food products."

The origins of the term "inside baseball" are in one writer's view of sports reporting during the 1980s. He's Bill James, now a famous scholar of baseball. The arguments he made then explain why the term migrated so easily to politics. The inside, said James, is a hall of mirrors.

A Desktop That Will End The Desktop Wars

A Desktop That Will End The Desktop Wars 01/19/2004 01:46 AM
The problem why there are so many battles and wars on the desktop is primarily due to lack of standards. Most of the desktop models rolled-out nowadays contain vendor specific implementation that is usable within the vendor definition. As a result, no interconnection between dissimilar environments (brandwise) exists. One can see some interfaces that work while others are only available on one, missing on another.

Bye bye rat race

Bye bye rat race 06/19/2004 07:39 PM

I have decided to quit my job, and start my own company. I've learnt a lot working on information architectures for enterprise portals here in the US, but the time has come to move on.

I have many plans, I'll talk about those later. But first, this summer, I am going to spend a few months traveling. I love to travel, but being in the rat race for the past 5 years has meant I haven't seen as much of the world as I wanted to. So that's gonna change. India's first on the list. I only have two months this summer, but it's better than nothing.

Meanwhile, if you want to discuss a project you think I might be interested in, or are looking for an information architecture consultant, get in touch.

I plan to mix consulting with creating my own projects. Exciting times!

E conomics and Race: "Twenty-seven-year-old Harvard economist Roland Fryer grew up poor and black, in a family that was falling apart. His mother abandoned him. His father drank heavily and beat him. Fryer sold drugs and carried a gun. Then, at age 15, after he got pulled over by the police and then let go, he decided he wanted something different."

The race and the swift

The race and the swift 08/27/2004 02:13 PM
It feels more than a little surreal, rejoining the news after a week off the grid. I seem to have returned to an alternate universe in which the Democrats' war-hero candidate has been put on the defensive by the Republicans' Guard-duty-shirking president thanks to a patently false television ad. The economy wheezes on, the situation in Iraq continues to deteriorate, but -- thanks to deft work by the Bush family smear machine -- the top political story is, what did or didn't happen on a Vietnamese river three decades ago?

No one should question for a second the effectiveness of this Bush tactic. It is precisely what has worked for Bush campaigns past (vide Dukakis/Willie Horton, or the anti-McCain blitz in South Carolina 2000), and there is every sign it is working again.

Josh Marshall accurately, I think, identifies the (crudely but aptly labeled) "bitch-slap" psychodynamics of the Swift Boat Veterans story: Facts are nearly irrelevant here; this is about punching John Kerry and seeing whether he punches back, and how hard. If he fails to punch back, he's exposed as a sissy who's not tough enough to defend America. If he does fight back, the Bushies simply point at him -- as they have already begun to -- and claim that he's lost it, he's "wild-eyed" and unreliable and unfit to be president.

It's exactly what every Democratic strategist knew was coming. It's cunning, and inevitable, and low. And I think the only answer for the Kerry campaign is to call Bush out, directly, on its lowness. The trouble, of course, is that as long as you're responding to fraudulent Swift Boat Veteran ads you're allowing Bush to dominate the agenda. You need to punch back hard, and only then move on.

George Bush is acting like a latter-day Joseph McCarthy -- albeit one smart enough to use shadowy surrogates for his dirty work and retain semi-plausible deniability. So the best way to stop him, I'm convinced, is to stand up and call out his campaign's slime for what it is. (The new Kerry TV ad, "Old Tricks," begins to take on this job.)

McCarthyism was stopped dead in its tracks on June 9, 1954, exactly half a century ago, when a lawyer named Joseph Welch turned on the Red-baiting senator with a withering, "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?" Welch had finally said out loud what a lot of people had long been thinking about McCarthy.

Today's media-saturated environment is different; nothing is left unsaid for very long, and what matters is what gets repeated most often. Still, it seems to me that John Kerry's best plan is to find and deploy the 2004 equivalent of Welch's retort. Have you no decency, George Bush, at long last?

The Humanoid Race

The Humanoid Race 07/02/2004 11:28 AM
This month's issue of Wired Magazine includes a feature about robotics for which I was one of several contributors:

Consider the progress of just the past 15 years. There are now robots that can get around on two legs, participate in simple conversations, and manipulate objects in rudimentary ways. Of course, we don't yet have a bot that can navigate downtown Manhattan, tie its shoelaces, or even tell a chair from a desk. MIT's Cynthia Breazeal holds out hope that within five years, robots will cross a critical threshold, becoming partners rather than tools - in other words, we'll have friends, not appliances. And while there are a number of extremely complex problems to solve before we can make something as advanced as Sonny, the star of I, Robot, we're getting there, one piece at a time. To find out where the state of the art lies, Wired surveyed the projects that might one day add up to an android just like the rest of us.
