Intel's UMPC's

Intel has recently slipped out the information that they'll be creating UMPC's for the general public by 2008. This is an exciting development for many reasons. Some of which are that Intel plans on using a variant of their 45nm processor designs for their "Penryn" CPU's for their UMPC's. Not to mention that Intel will be emerging into the High-End graphics card market beginning in 2008. So it stands to reason that the UMPC's within a couple years will allow for some decent gaming.

Will Intel's future UMPC attract gamers?

AMD & High-End Graphics Card Pricing

AMD recently implemented a process they call "Automated Precision Manufacturing." While this method of manufacturing is used mostly for their desktop, server, and mobile processor manufacturing; it looks like AMD will be able to apply it to their new 65nm Graphic processing unit processors. The really good news about this "Automated Precision Manufacturing" is how it will affect the pricing of the graphics cards. On their high-end cards, pricing should be reduced by around $150. That would mean some of the best cards for consumers would only cost around $350.

How will this price change affect Nvidia?

Microsoft Sued Over Vista

A woman by the name of Dianne Kelley sued Microsoft for the way they promote Windows Vista. Microsoft told PC vendors which systems could be "Windows Vista Capable" before Vista was officially released. Microsoft did not specify which version of Vista each computer could support; which led to misunderstandings across the board. Most of the machines in question could only support the 32-bit version of Vista while the customers assumed their machines could handle the 64-bit version.

Should Microsoft be sued for their customer's misunderstanding?
