Responding to a question about AMD’s Netbook chip strategy and its response to Intel’s Atom processor, Meyer said: “Clearly the Netbook is a new form factor and new market opportunity and one we’re not participating in right now, today.”

Earlier this month, AMD announced that it was splitting into two companies: one for designing chips (AMD), the other for manufacturing them (The Foundry Company). The latter company will be owned approximately 56 percent by Advanced Techn

The hard drive offerings stay the same: 160GB on the lower-end model and 250GB on the higher-end model. But new upgrades will net you a 320GB drive for $100 or a 128GB solid-state drive for $600.

The old MacBook lineup featured better CPUs.

Less has changed on the inside. The biggest change is the move from the Intel GM965 chipset and integrated GMA X3100

“There have been lots of questions on whether the 40 percent off HP promotion on Black Friday will be restarted,” Microsoft said in the posting. “While we were hoping to be able to do that, we are sorry to report that it will not be restarted.”

While this is bad for bargain hunters, it may end up being worse for Microsoft, which is trying to use the Live Search Cashback program as a way to build awareness and loyalty for its search product.

Microsoft must give developers what they need in order for the Azure strategy to work. Without developers on board, Azure will be dead on arrival.

I am starting to agree that “Software plus services” is the right approach–at least for Microsoft. One of the most overlooked Microsoft assets is Visual Studio, and if Microsoft adds a “cloud deploy” capability into the development environment, all of a sudden, things will start to get interesting.

With these two investments, AT&T expects to reduce its gasoline consumption over the next 10 years by 49 million gallons.

“I would hope they would not seek to go farther than the FCC has already gone,” Harden said.

“Secret ballots we think are inherently important,” he said. “How first contract arbitration manifests itself is very important.”

AT&T will also spend $215 million to replace nearly all of its 7,100 passenger vehicles over th

Having a community-elected board is a major step forward for the project. We now have more than 212 recognized members, which means that contributors who have made significant and sustained contributions to the project, and who have applied for membership, and been approved.

Last week, Novell did a very curious and exceptional thing: it loosened its grip on the OpenSuse community, allowing (and encouraging) its first community-elected and -managed board

But the site is growing so fast and getting so big that it’s going to be expensive no matter how many company parties are catered by pizzerias instead of sushi bars, and the albatross around Facebook’s metaphorical neck is its advertising-dependent business model. As Arrington wrote, Facebook may not be currently in a position where it can keep its bank accounts up to speed with its growth. Everyone’s predicting that ad spending is going to take a nosedive in 2009, and soci

It’s your money, after all. Well, unless you give it all to your vendor.

The reasons, as I wrote on Wednesday, are clear: open source delivers increased flexibility, improved performance, vendor independence, and, yes, cost savings. According to Computerworld UK, London Paper reports saving 66 percent by using an open-source CMS (Drupal). The Gap, meanwhile, dumped Windows for Red Hat offerings to save money and improve platform flexibility.

VMWare’s acquisition of SpringSource this week is a significant development in the history of the Java development platform.

This goes to the vision that has me most excited about the future of cloud computing right now. I think that there are technologies evolving for both public and private clouds that actually give developers and solutions architects just as much control over every element of how their applications are built, deployed, and operated as the
