A close look at the new antitrust allegations against Intel

Intel has been fighting a vicious antitrust battle in Europe for years, is battling AMD in US court, and now New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has opened up an American front in the Intel war by filing an antitrust suit against the chipmaker. The allegations in the suit will be old hat to veteran PC market watchers, because there’s almost nothing in the 87-page filing that Intel hasn’t been accused of at least once over the past decade, either openly as part of the EU proceedings, in the course of AMD’s antitrust lawsuit, or discretely in the form of gossip at industry conferences. The complaint itself is actually a good read—it’s not dry at all, and it provides a great introduction to how the PC market actually works for those who don’t follow it.

Are new rumors of an NVIDIA x86 CPU plausible?

It’s the NVIDIA rumor that won’t die: no, not the one where the GPU maker buys tiny VIA, but the other one, where it jumps feet-first into competition with both Intel and AMD by producing an x86 processor of its own. The idea has cropped up again in an analyst note from Doug Freedman of Broadpoint AmTech, in which Freedman claims that NVIDIA has been hiring former Transmeta engineers to work on a secret x86 processor that will appear sooner rather than later. In the note seen by the EE Times , Freedman emphasizes that NVIDIA not will take on Intel’s Core i5/i7 lineup

Starbucks Makes It Harder to Get Free Wi-Fi (Revised)

Starbucks is revising its stored-value affinity card programs, making it easier harder to get free Wi-Fi: I’ve noted before that Starbucks doesn’t offer free Wi-Fi in the sense that an indie coffeeshop with an open access point does, nor like airports that provide Wi-Fi at no cost. Rather, Starbucks ties two consecutive hours per day of no-cost Wi-Fi to purchases made using a stored-value card

Intel Microserver latest to crowded physicalization party

Our recent look at the idea of using ARM processors to pack large numbers of low-power, high-density Web servers into very little physical space generated quite a bit of interest, and it seems that a lot of people are thinking along these lines. Indeed, every time we cover the so-called ” physicalization ” fad—i.e., placing multiple tiny systems in a rack unit, instead of running multiple virtual machines on a single 1U system—we get a fresh wave of feedback on just how seriously datacenter builders are taking this idea.

Atheros Offers Family of Three-Stream Chips

Atheros announced its 2010 family of three-stream, high-data-rate and rate-over-range chips: The AR9300 XSPAN line up has a three-stream, 3×3 format for up to 450 Mbps raw (300 Mbps TCP/IP) 802.11n traffic. But speed is critical only at close distances: the chips have been designed to keep data rates high as devices move further and further from an access point. Pen Li, senior product marketing manager at Atheros, explained that the company’s goal with what it’s calling SST3 technology is to “maintain signal reliability across the entire link.” To that end, it’s employing four features.

Performance Evaluation of Efficient and Reliable Routing Protocols for Fixed-Power Sensor Networks

ABSTRACT A Fixed–power wireless sensor networks are cost effective and prevalent, and they are facing lots of problems like RF interference, node failure from environmental noise and energy constraints. A routing protocol for Fixed – power wireless sensor networks must overcome these problems. Because it have to achieve reliability, energy efficiency and scalability in message delivery

Security Challenge and Defense in VoIP Infrastructures

ABSTRACT Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has become a popular alternative to traditional public-switched telephone network (PSTN) networks that provides advantages of low cost and flexible advanced “digital” features. The flexibility of the VoIP system and the convergence of voice and data networks brings with it additional security risks.

BBC Watchdog on Wireless Security

Caught an interesting piece on BBC Watchdog last Thursday (makes a change from dodgy rogue traders). The programme discussed the security implications of using wireless networks in Coffee Shops like Starbucks, and provided scary demonstrations of how hackers can “sniff” unencrypted wireless traffic, hack your mail boxes, and masquarade on Facebook as you! Needless to say a “celebrity” had to be wheeled out in the form of Rav Wilding pin up, former copper and star of BBC Crimewatch , and more recently Strictly Come Dancing . The anonymous hacker duly “did the business” and hacked into Rav’s Gmail account.

Data Loss Strikes Again!

A couple more stories have emerged on Data Loss that you may or may not have come across over the past few weeks. The first was from a few days ago, advising that Zurich Insurance in South Africa were backing up to Tapes and they lost one of them. This tape held over 1 million documents, over 50,000 related to UK policy holders who have been informed of the loss! Article at: http://www.insurancetimes.co.uk/story.asp?source=itbreakingnews&storycode=380957 The second headline shows once again the security risks & flaws using Cloud based Systems

Computer Science Buskers? (Error Detection)

This video is a slightly different take on the card trick from the Error detection activity from csunplugged.org – it’s a humorous approach to the serious question can we communicate Computer Science concepts to the general public, especially in a situation where we must catch their attention first?

Chinese iPhone Lacks Wi-Fi

It was earlier rumored that any iPhone releases in China would lack Wi-Fi; that’s turned out to be true: I wrote back on 15 July 2009 , in addressing what was a rumor at the time, why Apple couldn’t release a Wi-Fi-enabled iPhone in China, because Apple would have to include WAPI, a proprietary government-backed non-disclosed Wi-Fi security spec. To use WAPI, non-Chinese firms have to partner with one of several in-country companies that are controlled by the military or government or both. The AP notes, “Unicom’s iPhones lack WiFi because it was temporarily banned by Beijing, which was promoting a rival Chinese system, according to BDA.
