AMD’s Vision vs Intel Inside

Being around since the dark ages of black and white(monochrome) computer monitors, I know quite a bit about computer hardware.  Therefore, AMD’s Vision does not appeal to me.  Although, when it comes to people who know little and/or do not care about the hardware, AMD’s Vision makes sense.

Huw Price on Robert Brandom

By my lights, then, Brandom’s attitude to metaphysics seems excessively irenic.

Flash Fights Back with “We Love Choice” Ad!

Adobe Systems launched a campaign to answer the criticisms set out by Apple CEO’ Steve Jobs on Adobe’s Flash technology. Jobs took a good bashing on Flash in an open letter explaining why Apple won’t let Flash or Flash-derived applications onto the iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. He called Flash a “closed system” and “100% proprietary.” He also criticized Flash for battery power depletion, inability to support multitouch interfaces, security risks, and instability.

3D Effect Continues To Pancake 2D LCD Prices

The roll-out of 3D-capable LCD television continues to pressure prices of older 2D models enough to overwhelm support from any recovery in retail. We’ve previously discussed this effect for 30”-39” LCD sets ( “LCD Prices Fall So Flat They Look Good In 2D ”) as well as 2D Blu-ray players ( “ Blue Light Special On Blu-ray ”); now in a recent press release we’re seeing something very similar for larger models, as captured by the action of the PriceSCAN 46” 1080p LCD Index . That index dropped 2.6% last week, erasing most of a 3.3% rally that occurred three weeks ago as consumer demand showed new signs of life
