After uploading this video earlier today, it really got me thinking how much I’d love to be back in college. No, I wouldn’t trade anything to travel back in time — I like movin’ ahead! — but I get the...
Two steps forward and a half step back to see if we’re going in the right direction and bringing forward things that can help us leap into tomorrow. That’s how we’re celebrating the June 24 anniversary of our Intel Insiders...
Many eyes are turning to Taipei for this week’s Computex, the largest IT trade show in Asia that runs from June 2-6. Every year, this is where new mobile technologies are unveiled, and this year I’m looking for the latest...

What a month for wireless broadband news...and it's only just after St. Patrick's Day. The press sure loves a controversy, and within the last 20 days or so, we've seen a slew of news ranging from LTE planning some 30...
Well, nothing really unless you are drinking a cold one and surfing the Internet using a WiMax connection somewhere in Baltimore or Portland. Really though, you have to check out this funny ad by Clear; a WiMax service provider that...
Greetings, dear readers! I'm a software developer turned writer/reporter/social media disciple and I write news stories on Intel's intranet. My friends in marketing hooked me up with this featherlight Lenovo ThinkPad X301—with built-in WiMax connectivity—to give WiMax a shot and...
WiMax was something I really tuned into during the noisy tech bliss that is CES. Maybe because the demonstrations were better compared with what I saw at [CES 2008](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akr-OnVF4fc), or maybe because the high speed wireless technology is really...
I got my hands on an Acer AirOne netbook to our engineers added the Intel Link 5150 Wi-Fi-/WiMAX chip. I'd seen Centrino 2 laptops with WiMAX and I followed the launch of WiMAX service now available in Baltimore and...
If you're like me, you're trying to stay on top of what's happening at CES right now from your cube in the office. Somehow its just not quite the same as being in the middle of the action in Vegas....
This week in Portland, Clear launched it's WiMAX service. A few months ago, XOHM launched it's WiMAX service in Baltimore, MD. With these two companies merging, WiMAX service should be pretty interesting to watch in 2009. As part of the...

I've been living in the era of Mobility 1.0. I connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi. I use it at home, at Intel, and on the road. Wi-Fi is great stuff, but a Wi-Fi hotspot is like an oasis in...
Yup, you heard it right. The RJ45 Ethernet cable is standing on its last legs and it's just a matter of time before they will be piling up at the local recycling houses. Not sure what an RJ45 is? Well,...
I'm still semi-delirious from my trip to Baltimore for the WiMax launch this week. The buzz has been building around WiMax for years and on Wednesday, we finally got to see it in action as the citizens of the city...
