Veoh is My New Favorite Video Site

Here’s an interview with the CEO of Veoh from Beet.TV This is quickly becoming my favorite video site. Love the quality of the video and the ability to publish once and syndicate to several other video site accounts (Google, YouTube) plus this blog. I’m still learning the ropes. In fact, I embedded their widget and it’s not quite working right…yet.

Terascale Research Paving Future For Moore’s Law

Leaping from mega to giga to tera hertz started off being about speed, but then things took a right turn and we now find that computer “performance” is taking on new meaning. Speed and the ability to multitask are what we see when we get a new computer. But just as important — at least to today’s chip designers, software developers and researchers — is efficiency. Doing things faster, more things at the same time and conserving battery life or electricity are the cornerstones of every novel idea that goes into making the most complex things ever created by man…the computer processor.

Here’s a video I shot of my buddy Sean Koehl at Research@Intel Day 2007 as he swiftly describing some crazy complex research Intel is doing to ready the world for a day when computer processors will have 10s to 100s of brain cores in a single chip.

In addition to his five day jobs working in the corporate technology group, Sean is also an editor and contributor to the newly released Intel Reseach blog.

iPhone Phenom in Palo Alto — Jeremiah’s Video Walk & Talk

I hear the Doors’ Jim Morrison singing:  Ride the snake…  This is one doozy of a handycam take on the crazy line of people waiting to get their hands on the latest rock start — the Apple iPhone.  Here’s Jeremiah Owyang’s MOS – was there an end to that line?

Intel Deep Inside Second Life — Get Yo Jetpack On!!

Following up on an earlier post, after the previews and opening of Intel’s latest build out in Second Life.  This may be one of the very first places inside Second Life that lets you go underground.  One thing’s for sure — getting an Intel jet pack sounds as cool as what got me first interested in Second Life last year:  the guy who sold vending machines for a small cut of the action and space to sell his special zoomer rollerskates!

Jeremiah Owyang got his jetpack on and started a very good discussion on his blog.  Here something from Mad Young Thing and from Millions of Us, who helped Introduce Intel to Second Life in October 2006 and continues.

Research Day: Intel CTO Justin Rattner on Weird, Far Reaching Science

Intel CTO may have the coooolest, most interesting job in technology. Intel’s first ever CTO was Pat Gelsinger, who is a valcano of passion for technology and a real fireball of inspiration. Justin moves fast, but he has a way of putting you back in your seat in marvel. Justin seems to empower and celebrate people around the world. Intel’s Research efforts took a big turn at around the year 2000. The company does math, and the math showed it it needed to expand R&D at an even faster clip. The challenge was on…the result was creative and bold. The company embrased an open research approach where it worked closely with Universities around the world. It went to where the people and brains are around the world. The Intel researchers I’ve met over the past seven years are everyday people, from every part of the world, but a step beyond.

This is a great conversation between PodTech’s Jason Lopez and Justin. The two have talked a half a dozen time in the past few years. They have good chemistry — must have something to do with the subject…research!

Justine also kicked off the new Research@Intel blog with an interesting, “we’re learning” approach.
