Sorry I don't have any sympathy for LulzSec or whatever their name (Geeze at least get a cooler name or they are bunch of high school drop outs).

Well key is How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read. A fun book by Pierre Bayard.

When it comes to desktop, laptop and server chips, Intel's pretty much got a lock on the market but everyone can see the writing on the wall: mobile chips and architectures are the future of computing thanks to the popularity of smartphones, but Intel doesn't have anything to offer in that regard.

Server market is a different ball game. Xeon are only in the low end server. IBM has lead in middle and high end servers with their P and Z systems. P and Z chips are custom designed for IBM systems only.

Agreed. Not exactly, but this comic says it as well. http://abstrusegoose.com/291

I got notification from them as well but it went to the SPAM folder. Sorry.

There are many patents on random number generator. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=random+number+generator+patent&btnG=Google+Search

If it is matter of core-war, IBM's latest Power7 also has 8 cores. It is actually based on 45nm technology compared to Intel's latest 32nm. What makes Power7 exciting is that it has on-die 32MB L3 cache. They achieved this by introducing eDRAM (embedded DRAM) in the technology. Both Nehalem-EX and Power7 are targeting low-end server market, so it should be interesting battle.

But can it the same place twice ?
