AMD CEO Dirk Meyer says he doesn't know how anybody could call a bottom - like Intel CEO Paul Ottellini did last week - given the continued lack of visibility and uncertainty in the marketplace. Although Intel is expecting Q2, usually down from Q1, to be flat with Q1 - a forecast implies a very unseasonal uptick - AMD just expects revenues to be down this quarter because of the macro environment, visibility and seasonal weakness.
And to think, had IBM "gone mad" and offered a few more billions, it might have saved itself potential billions and billions and billions of lost revenue.

Gaming has proven to have huge appeal on the iPhone. Because of that, there are a thousands of games in the App Store — which is great for consumers, but it can also be overwhelming. And it can be frustrating for developers who can see their work easily lost in the sea of apps. The iPhone social platform OpenFeint is trying to alleviate some of those problems. And it has rallied some big indie iPhone game developers to the cause.
According to Web visionary and SOA expert Miko Matsumara, there was only one certain result of there being two board factions at Sun Microsystems, one in favor of the IBM deal (the Jonathan Schwartz faction) and the other opposing (the Scott McNealy faction): "Mark my words, Schwartz is toast, IBM deal or no deal," declared Mastumara recently in his 'SOA Thoughts' blog. Now that Oracle has bought Sun instead, will the same apply?

Playing cards are an everyday object used for gambling and game playing the world over. But the familiar deck of cards conceals hidden meanings that have links to secret societies and the occult. Why are there four suits and why hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs? What is the significance of the picture cards? What is the meaning of the symbolism of the Tarot? We look beneath the surface of the playing card and reveal an intriguing journey from their much disputed roots in China, Persia, and Egypt. And we uncover the secrets of card design, investigating rumored Masonic links and the way the design has changed to mirror the cultures and beliefs of the people who used them through the ages. What emerges is an extraordinary story that reveals the mysteries and meanings of the humble playing card--a history that is intimately entwined with the occult, voodoo, and man's fascination with mystical beliefs.
I’ve been in several meetings recently that have hit on the topic of Data.gov. Data.gov will become a repository for all the information the government collects, and that information will be in turn available to anyone who needs it. Pretty positive move, if you ask me. However, the existing data-as-a-service providers that traffic in government data could find that they are soon suffering from relevancy problems.

Modern Web applications are well known for delivering rich UI experience. A lesser known aspect is the use of certain techniques that enable the intelligent processing of information and add value that cannot be delivered by other means. Examples of success stories that are based on these techniques abound, and include household names such as “Google Ad Sense”, Netflix, and Amazon. The "Algorithms of the Intelligent Web" describes what lies beneath these successes and should help you build intelligent behavior in any software application.

Trapped down a dark alley with nowhere else to go, Sun is ready to restart takeover talks with IBM provided IBM puts more starch in its commitment to actually close the deal despite whatever regulatory hurdles it has to vault, according to Bloomberg, which has it from two people "familiar with the matter." There was no mention of price in the wire service story.
How fast should our Java code be to be considered fast? After all, speed is a relative concept. I'll compare the results of CPU performance for the following JVMs: Sun's J2SE 1.4.1, 1.4.0, 1.3.1, and Jikes. These results can be used to make a number of educated decisions such as choosing a JVM, deciding on algorithmic designs, and selecting the right method from the API. They provide an overall assessment of performance that's not custom related since the code used is quite common and drawn directly from Sun's Java APIs.
Well, if rebuffing IBM’s $7 billion offer as too low the weekend before last was a negotiating tactic, then the gambit has blown up in Sun’s face, according CNBC. Following a Bloomberg story saying Sun wanted IBM to come back to the table – a story that made no mention of price – CNBC rustled up its own sources who told the cable channel that IBM had washed its hands of the whole affair.

When migrating existing source code from previous versions of Delphi to Delphi 2009, you may encounter warnings about implicit conversions from AnsiString to Unicode Strings or vice versa (the other way may also have a potential data loss) and while it's easy to ignore these warnings, ignorance comes with a price!
We can visualize resource starvation using an elaborate rendition of the Dining Philosophers Problem. This classic metaphor of resource allocation among processes was first introduced in 1971 by Edsger Dijkstra in his paper “Hierarchical Ordering of Sequential Processes.” It’s been a model and universal method for verifying theories on resource allocation ever since.
