Fujitsu to ffer Windows 7 Upgrades but Not for Free
PC World
Microsoft has scheduled a news conference in Tokyo on that day. The company is one of Japan’s biggest PC vendors and also has a sizable business in Europe. Several other PC makers around the world have also confirmed they will take part in the voucher program including Hewlett-Packard and Taiwan’s Acer Asustek Computer Gigabyte Technology Micro-Star International (MSI) and Shuttle. The companies are levying a charge on users because they have to pay Microsoft to include upgrade coupons with PCs. The coupons will cost the PC makers between US$9 and $15 to include with PCs although end-users will likely be charged a higher price one Taiwanese company said. The PC industry needs all the help it can get right now.
High Tech’s Great Leap Backward
Wall Street Journal
In essence bureaucrats in China want the world’s computer makers to make it easier for their Thought Police to block access to news and information from the outside world and to punish citizens for the sites they visit and the views they express online. The pressure is on companies such as Dell Hewlett-Packard and Apple plus Lenovo which bought IBM’s PC business and whose largest shareholder is the Chinese government. The computer companies have kept a low profile relying on trade associations to lobby Beijing to reconsider the regulations. Technologists would prefer just to be in the business of business but politics is a fact of business life in China. (And even Chinese people who don’t care about blocked information about Tiananmen or anonymity online will object if their new computers have kludgy software that is prone to crashing operating systems. )Yet when the interests of foreign businesses coincide with the interests of the Chinese people the kowtow may not be the only corporate option.

Intel expanding beyond its core

Intel also gave the work a higher-profile name Thursday with Chief Technology fficer announcing that the Corporate Technology Group now is called Intel Labs. The group’s role is to evaluate not just what works but to find out what doesn’t before Intel invests a lot of money in that area Rattner said. Power-efficient Atom systemsIntel rules the roost for PC processors but it’s an also-ran when it comes to cell phones and other mobile devices in part because its x86 processors consume more power than rivals including those of the ARM lineage. Intel’s Atom chips are the company’s current attempt to crack the market and the next-generation “Moorestown” processor boasts lower energy consumption requirements. “I’ve been doing this about 15 years now. We’ve had advancements but never the magic doubling of battery life” said Paul Diefenbaugh principal engineerAt the research day Intel showed off technology that lets a Moorestown system use less power by using a more aggressive version of existing power-saving idea sending a computer into somnolent states as deeply and frequently as possible. “We realized the problem was really about the platform” Diefenbaugh said because saving small amounts of power in the processor was futile when something like a USB controller chip was consuming more power and keeping the system from entering a low-power idle mode.
