For the Future
04/06/2005 06:16 PMMany of you know of the Tom’s Hardware Guide Web site. I can
always look to them for interesting content. In this case I wanted to
pick out a particular bit of information for further examination. The
part I’m going to quote is - The possibility exists, cited
Gelsinger, for processor performance to improve across the board, over
the next four years, by a factor of 10 - “stunning performance
through parallelism.”…

The Past, Present and Future of Web
Services, part 1
The Past, Present and Future of Web
Services, part 1
09/30/2002 01:53 PMWeb services are somewhere around the crest of their hype cycle and
currently the darling of the prevalent media. This cresting is like
that of other technologies in that it precedes full development and
maturity. Web services, an undoubtedly important technology regardless
of media interest, have a good deal of development ahead of them.
Those who find success using Web services will be those who understand
the technology fundamentally: its motivations, the reasons why some
components are winning out over others, and the likely course of
maturity.
For this reason, I start with the history of Web services. This is no
mere nostalgic side-trip: the business and technical environment into
which Web services was conceived, and the various players that have
waxed and waned in prominence in their history to date are likely to
have a strong effect on the future of Web services. You can already
see this happening with developments such as the emerging role of
Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards
(OASIS) as incubator of security, workflow and transaction standards
for Web services. OASIS was once seen as the very opposition to
mainstream Web services. -- Uche Ogbuji

“Intel is trying to make the case that a collection of chips
is worth more than the sum of its parts. The chipmaker presented its
argument in several ways on Tuesday. For one, Intel said it has seen a
benefit in marketing several chips together, as it has done with
Centrino, its bundle of technology for wireless notebook PCs. Speaking
at the Intel Developer Forum here, Intel President Paul Otellini said

Part I: Intel as enemy
Part I: Intel as enemy
06/05/2005 11:20 PMAs Apple fans, we are no strangers to imitation. Whenever something
new exits the doors of Cupertino’s laboratories, it’s only a matter of
time — usually five or six months — until a similar looking but
inferior product hits shelves, aimed at either Windows users or, in
the case of the iPod, bargain-hunters.
But this week's copycat of the Mac mini by AOpen is perhaps worst of
all.
It's been known for some time that an Intel-commissioned micro PC has
been in the works since Apple unveiled its breakthrough $499 Mac at
Macworld San Francisco in January. Intel seemed to make no secret of
its attempts to derail whatever inroads the mini had made into its
stranglehold on the market.
So, the Mini PC was born. Or, rather, cloned. (Really. That’s what
it's called.)
But here's the funny part: "AOpen's R&D expertise has progressed from
desktop platforms to small form factor platforms. Now AOpen takes a
giant leap forward to develop consumer and ultra small form factor
platforms," said Tony Yang, marketing director of Aopen, as quoted in
the press release which called the Mini PC "revolutionary" and
"blockbuster."
So R&D (which stands for research and development, in case you didn’t
already know) means taking an existing product and tailoring it for
your own audience, with no significant improvements?
Another square personal computer with a slot-loading drive and a small
footprint is revolutionary? Breakthrough? Last December, perhaps.
But there are a few things worth noting. For one, it's a
square-half-inch smaller than the Mac mini, though AOpen doesn't
plaster "world's smallest personal computer" on its site. Instead, it
calls the Mini PC "the world’s smallest Intel PC platform," adding
almost as an innocent afterthought, "but also smaller than a similar
model on the market."
A similar model? C'mon…
Also, the Mini PC comes standard with Bluetooth and WiFi, and adds an
S-Video and component video (YpbPr) connectors for easy HD setup. And,
while it's not mentioned in the press release, I'm quite sure it will
come with a keyboard and a mouse.
But, surprisingly, Apple seems to have undercut AOpen on price: "The
Pentium M and Windows XP are pretty expensive components. It would be
hard to hit the Mac mini's $499 price point with that combo," said IDC
analyst Roger Kay.
So what's left? A higher-priced clone of the Mac mini with a tired
operating system and a superiority complex? Who's going to buy it?
Apparently, Vincent Cho, VP and GM of Solution Products Business Unit
at AOpen knows. "(B)illions of Win-tel users in the world no longer
have to tolerate the hassle of switching operating systems just to
take advantage of the miniaturized and stylish personal computing
devices."
If people want to switch, they’re going to switch for reasons like
stability and security. Sure, Apple's designs are breathtaking, but I
don’t think there’s much of a market for people who are willing to pay
more for a similar-looking miniature PC just because it runs Windows.
Of course, I could be wrong, and we all could be closet Windows users
just waiting for the right piece of hardware.
Coming tomorrow: Intel as friend, or "I don't think the two — Mac mini
and whatever Intel puts out — are really in the same market; that is,
of course, unless Apple starts running OS X on x86 hardware."
Part II: Intel as friend
Part II: Intel as friend
06/05/2005 11:20 PMIf the reports are to be believed, today, June 5, 2005, will mark the
last full day of Apple Computer Inc. as we know it.
Based on the activity Kevin April's article, "Earth shattering: Apple
to switch to Intel in 2006," has received, there's not much explaining
that needs to follow that statement. But in case you missed it (or the
dozens of related posts), CNET is reporting that Apple will announce a
gradual transition to Intel processors Monday.
Had this story been reported Saturday, my column would have been
filled with doomsday propositions and woe, as I lamented the demise of
a once-great computer company, one of the few which truly thought
differently and consistently gave me a reason to engage my friends in
friendly debate.
I would have predicted the fall of the Mac culture and Web presence,
waved goodbye to the revolution and clenched my iPod fervently in my
left hand while typing with my right.
That, and I might have tendered my resignation.
But now that I've had a few hours to digest this rumor, I see things a
little differently than I did when I first read Spymac's breaking news
Friday night. I've had a chance to put things in perspective.
So, let's assume worst-case scenario, that CNET's report is completely
accurate and Steve Jobs will demo a new Mac with an Intel processor
during Monday's WWDC keynote. Let's say he abandons both IBM and
Motorola, and jumps into the ring with the likes of Dell and Compaq
using Intel's existing technology. And while we're at it, let's say
we'll be able to run Longhorn on all new Macs by 2007.
Is the prospect of a partitioned Mac running Longhorn and OS X
side-by-side really so terrible?
For one, OS X or XI or XII will always be Mac-centric. As the saying
goes, "Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?" Apple knows
this and will find a way to keep its operating system proprietary.
But what if it didn't? What if a shopper on Dell.com was able to
choose between Windows and OS X? Switching software is the same as
switching hardware, right?
If that's the case, however, Apple's family of CPUs are going to
suffer in the sales department. I mean, why buy a $1,499 iMac when a
$399 Dell can run the same virus-free OS just as well?
We could very well be in store for a major shift in strategy by Apple.
It could drop several of its hardware lines and instead focus on
chipping away at Microsoft's 90 percent OS share. Think of sole
desktop and portable lines, with each family having three different
models that satisfy budget and power needs.
And think of all the goodies we'll be able to put inside those
Intel-based machines.
Clearly, Apple has thought all of this through and Steve will ease all
of our concerns on Monday. If Steve did ink a deal with Intel,
however, you have to assume that as soon as he left the offices, Intel
CEO Paul Otellini was on the phone to Bill Gates with the scoop.
And don't think for a second that Gates wasn't in on the deal from day
one.
And also, remember when Otellini, when questioned about security by a
reporter at the D: All Things Digital conference in late May,
responded with, "If you want to fix it tomorrow, maybe you should buy
something else."
This all makes for an eyes-glued-to-the-Internet Monday, and with no
broadcast planned, there's going to be some heavy traffic on whatever
sites are lucky enough to have running updates.
Apple will always be Apple, and there will always be a place for
Spymac and the legions of devoted fans. And there will never be an
"Intel Inside" sticker on the front of anything made by Cupertino’s
laboratories.
The heart and soul of Apple is in its ability to stay one step ahead
of the cutting edge and a change in chip won't change that.
Just think of it as leveling the playing field once and for all.

Intel Has High Hopes for the Future
11/12/2003 01:11 PM Intel's Sean Maloney, general manager of Intel’s Communications
Group, offered a glimpse at what Intel sees for the future of
wireless: While all of Intel's Wi-Fi chips so far have gone into
computers, Maloney thinks in the future they will live in a wide array
of electronics devices in the home. He admits that Intel was late to
wireless and comments that the company has caught up. I certainly
wouldn't agree with that given Intel doesn't even have an 802.11g chip
out yet. Maloney offers the perfect example of how Intel may be torn
about using the hype machine. He notes that Wi-Fi has been overhyped,
which is certainly due in part to Intel's Centrino campaign, but says
that on the other hand, broadband wireless is going to change
everything. Maybe Intel has really high hopes for Wi-Fi but is partly
afraid that the market may not lead to a genuine boom....
