NVIDIA to buy significant stake in VIA?

Intel threatens AMD with termination of x86 license within 60 days

I guess both parties will work out a new licensing agreement - Intel will no doubt be happy to avoid any serious anti-trust accusations, and a new agreement could be another lucrative stream of revenue for them. I doubt AMD will want to have their foundry project thrown into doubt at this delicate time, especially as they are struggling to find their feet in response to Intel's well executed Core 2 strategy. Could be a win/win for both sides AND their respective lawyers!

.. I guess the price is high as they are selling to a niche market - they have to recoup their costs on a small volume of sales. I imagine R&D will be a significant cost as the device is unique? Good luck to them - its an innovative device! :)

Pogue's perspective: megapixel numbers don't matter

Nov 23rd 2006 5:26AM on Engadget

Just playing devils advocate here folks ;=)

The test is flawed because it was not double blinded. Shrugging off the one person who got it right as probably down to luck is just the testers opinion and not based on any evidence.

Sure, there may be little difference at the end of the day in visual quality, but it doesn't give much credibility to the result if the tester is biased and shows this in almost discrediting the one person (a "photography professor") who got it right!

What's needed is a proper test conducted independently without influence from those who have an agenda either way.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
