Jolene Jonas, an Intel employee in Oregon, has been listing her company email (jolene.jonas@intel.com) on various webpages relating to the activities and transactions of the Oregon Democratic Party, as the contact email address. While nothing should prevent an Intel employee from using her free time to pursue her political affiliations, use of company email address for this purpose should be expressly prohibited at Intel. Are there any Intel Freepers here that can raise this issue within the company? In addition to the State party webpage, she also lists her email address on the Columbia (Ore.) County Democratic Central committee webpage:...

It's time to retire your "Intel Inside" jokes and start coming up with some "Leap Ahead" humor. Intel is changing its branding campaign after 14 years. Intel leaked word of the new brand to the Wall Street Journal, disclosing that it will adopt the "Leap Ahead" theme at next week's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Along with changing the familiar "Intel Inside" line, Intel will nix the use of the dropped "e" long used in the depiction of the company's name. (You can see the new logos here.) One thing that won't change with the re-branding exercise is...

2006 Ahoy! The interminable in pursuit of the meaningless By: Thursday 29 December 2005, 10:26 2006 WILL BE quite the interesting year on the desktop CPU front, with the year starting out firmly in AMD's grasp, and ending in Intel's. If both sides execute on their CPU roadmaps, and that is a huge if we believe it will be a fight to the end with Intel having the lead by at least a hair when all is said and done. Let's look at the players in some detail. On the one hand we have Intel with the Pentium line of...

Appleinsider claims that according to "reliable sources", Apple has contracted out the motherboard design for the next-generation PowerMac to Intel. According to the rumor site, Apple has its current resources spread so far across the planned Intel iMacs, PowerBooks, iBooks and Mac minis that outsourcing the PowerMac motherboard design may help them keep a targeted ship date of the 3rd quarter of 2006 for the next-generation PowerMac. The design is expected to take place within the Intel Apple-Group which was quietly formed in November. Outsourcing PowerMac motherboard design to Intel may have some interesting consequences regarding control and exclusivity of...

A four-core chip home server system will be able to deliver one billion floating-point operations per second, apparently. Move up to a 32-core chip - in, say, a blade server module - and you'd get 32 gigaflops of processing power, while a 64-core slab of silicon inside a rack-mount unit doing graphics work would churn out two teraflops, according to Kutaragi's presentation foils... Kutaragi likened a single Cell chip to IBM's 32-node RS/6000-based chess supercomputer Deep Blue. The exponential scaling rate suggests Cell really doesn't come into its own until you use lots of them together.

Ex-secretary of State predicts a gradual reduction in troops to start in 2006, but says there will be a military presence for a long time. LONDON — Former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said in an interview to be broadcast today that the United States would have a military presence in Iraq for years, although a gradual withdrawal probably would start in 2006. In the interview with the British Broadcasting Corp., Powell said a massive, rapid pullout would be a "tragic He also said U.S. intelligence services had not revealed their doubts to the Bush administration about the reliability...

A few months after 9/11, President Bush authorized the National Security Agency (NSA) to eavesdrop on Americans and others in the US without having to obtain the court warrants normally required in these situations, according to government officials. The New York Times reports that as a result, the NSA has monitored the international phone calls and e-mails of "hundreds, perhaps thousands" of people living in the United States. Before Sept. 11, 2001, the NSA limited its spying in the US to foreign embassies and missions and obtained court orders for such investigations. Officials say the government still seeks warrants for...

Former justice department prosecutor and intelligence expert John Loftus says that Israel is unable to thwart Iran's nuclear projects through military action – but that there is an alternative. "Israel only has a few option and striking back is not one of 'em," Loftus told Israel National Radio's Tovia Singer. "The F-16-IL version that Israel possesses only has a combat radius of about 2,200 kilometers and you would need about 3,000 to hit the hard targets in Iran. Iran saw what [Israel] did to the Osarik reactor in Iraq and have spread their nuclear development stuff all over the country...

Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has packed his government with former security and intelligence officials responsible for serious human rights abuses, including the killing of thousands of dissidents in Iranian jails, a leading human rights group said yesterday. After Mr Ahmadinejad caused renewed international outrage by calling the Nazi Holocaust of Jews a "myth", a report by Human Rights Watch, based in New York, took aim at his hardline cabinet - in particular the new interior minister, Mustafa Pour-Mohammadi. Mr Pour-Mohammadi, a notorious former deputy intelligence minister, held the post from 1987 to 1999 at a time when his agents...

Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL) could unveil a Macintosh computer running on Intel Corp. (INTC) chips as early as the first quarter of 2006, according to American Technology Research. Shaw Wu, an analyst at American Technology, said in a research report issued Dec. 9 that one of Apple's computers, based on Intel's architecture, could be available in the first quarter, ahead of expectations. "We believe products that will likely move to Intel first include current PowerPC G4-based Macs, including PowerBook, iBook and Mac mini, and its Xserver G5 enterprise server, arguably weaker members of its product line that would benefit...

MI5 brings to light the faceless figures who built the service By Sean Rayment, Defence Correspondent(Filed: 11/12/2005)They were the shadowy spy chiefs who worked in secret to protect Britain from its enemies. But now MI5 has released photographs of all its spymasters on its website.The pictures were published last week on the orders of Eliza Manningham-Buller, the current director-general, as part of her drive towards greater openness. Captain Vernon Kell It is the first time all of the spy chiefs' photographs and biographical details have been released together: most have never been made public at all.Until 1993, the...

Intel plans to unfurl a prototype transistor this week that could help Moore's Law -- and the semiconductor industry as a whole -- continue to advance in the next decade. The transistor, designed by Intel and Britain's QinetiQ, is similar in structure to a traditional transistor in that it comes with a source (the place where electrons start) and a drain (their final destination) connected by a channel. A gate controls the flow of electrons across the channel; acutely controlling this flow from the source and drain determines the ones and zeros of computing. But, unlike in traditional transistors, the...

The chip giant wants to use new materials for building chips that would boost processing speed by 50 percent. December 6, 2005 Intel said Tuesday it’s developing a transistor technology that could increase processing speed by 50 percent while using one-tenth the power needed by transistors in an Intel chip on the market today. The chip, which would use new materials allowing electronics to travel faster through transistors, may become the foundation for chips a decade from now, the world’s largest chip maker said. The company plans to detail its research in a conference in Washington, D.C., Wednesday. Researchers at...

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 2005--Intel Corporation today announced development of a new, ultra-fast, yet very low power prototype transistor using new materials that could form the basis of its microprocessors and other logic products beginning in the second half of the next decade. Intel and QinetiQ researchers have jointly demonstrated an enhancement-mode transistor using indium antimonide (chemical symbol: InSb) to conduct electrical current. Transistors control the flow of information/electrical current inside a chip. The prototype transistor is much faster and consumes less power than previously announced transistors. Intel anticipates using this new material to complement silicon, further extending Moore's...
