The pub. At the pizza joint. Inside the cafe. These days, it’s not so uncommon to find yourself hanging out next to a couple of IT pros talking code or swapping computer manageability and security horror stories.
Well, at least it’s like that here in Silicon Valley. In technology-crazy regions around the world, IT and tech-savvy experts are a sizable population. They might be your neighbor, dad, mom, husband or wife!

Hardware. It is a great word. Hardware. It brings forth thoughts of strength, of metal and stone, of a solid foundation. Security is a word that seems to go naturally with the word hardware. After all, wouldn’t you want your security to be hardware based?

Intel has launched a new advertising campaign - moving away from the ‘Multiply’ ads with cool and funky dancers to something a bit more processor specific. These ‘Centrino Duo’ ads feature charming and debonair little processors (with British accents) chatting and singing inside what looks like a Willy Wonka designed fab. One IT industry expert told us that these new ads are as cool as the old ‘Bunnyman’ commercials. The ads are fun, and straight to the point: Great computing starts with Intel inside.

And it will live longer too - Intel’s announced move to 65nm NOR Flash to will allow support for longer product life cycles - which in the embedded market is vital.
NOR Flash it a type of Flash memory the can execute programs directly from the Flash - this makes it particularly suitable as a type of memory in devices that do processing such as cell phones etc… NAND Flash on the other had behaves a bit more like a general storage medium - which is why you will find it in larger quantities in places like your iPod.
65nm Flash basically means faster, better, denser, cheaper in more products such as mobile phones and as well as other comsumer electronics devices one doesn’t normally associate with Flash consumption such as printers, DVD players and TV’s.
Expect to see such fantastic Flash in products next year.

Who said computers are boring, beige boxes that are kept under the table? Mobile computing is in its infancy and the power of mobility is yet to be experienced in a big way. The fact that you can carry a dual core processor PC with you anywhere you go, and connect wherever you are with other PCs or the web, opens tremendous opportunity for usage innovation. Many end user and markets are yet to use the power of mobile PCs.

Intel has launched new drivers for its G965 integrated graphics chipset. But what does this mean?
Traditionally, integrated graphics have been the weaklings of the graphics world – sure there are a lot of them sold, but traditionally they have been practically useless for 3D gaming. Until now that is - G965 has grown some muscle…

Just a quick post to say that we are going to be moving all new ‘Views@Intel’ content from the ‘Views’ blog into the ‘Technology’ blog to streamline things a bit - so head over here for all your usual tech news, info and loveliness.
Reminder to the millions of you who have RSS’ed (ok, both of you) to update your readers.

PS: For those of you who are not geeky enough to understand the title of the blog, I suggest you investigate the 4th book in Douglas Adam’s trilogy: Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
