[PC World's Techlog] Would You Buy a "Windows Mini" PC?: its about the same size as a MINI Cooper and it's cheaper. Yeah, MINI Coopers are sporty BMW-built machines with a Tiger of an engine and easy handling (at a lower price than a typical BMW), but heck, a Geo has windows - yeah it breaks down often and is ugly, but who cares so long as the sticker price is a little less and its made by the largest company in the industry (its very important to buy from the biggest you know - don't want to be left with no spare parts or no roads to drive on - as I'm sure that BMW will). Apples and Oranges you say?... it could be apples and lemons as far as I'm concerned - it's fruit and I don't know the difference.
[injun #576871 (eng_version)] Intel Preps Mac Mini Look-Alike?: Several small companies already offer Windows PCs that are similar in size to the Mac mini, but these are relatively expensive, niche products, hardly flying off store shelves at the Mac mini's estimated rate of around 40,000 a month. The cheapest of them sell for around $600, but a system comparable to the Mac mini would cost closer to $900. Appearances matter too, of course. While the Mac mini attracts adjectives like "sleek," "cool" and "sexy," its current lineup of Windows-based competitors could most politely be described as "compact."

[Deafjohnca3NintendoBest] PC: The launch of the 945G chip set also brings several new technologies, such as virtualization, system management, and high-definition audio, to both consumer and business users. Intel today launched the Professional Business Platform, with its Pentium 4 600 series processors, the 945G and 945P chip sets, and the Intel Pro/1000 Network Adapter, as its first desktop platform modeled on the success of its Centrino notebook PC platform. The 945G chip set features integrated graphics, while the 945P chip set is designed for use with a third-party graphics card.
[Bill Cara: Capital Markets & Social Equity] Week #21 (2005-05-28) in Review: As to Intel, that sale was for a different reason. The INTC “story” this week was that Apple were thinking of switching to Intel chips. In addition to the extreme Over-bought condition of INTC, with stochastic indicators bouncing off 100 for the STO and in the 90 range for RSI, there is a doubt in my mind that Apple would actually commit to the costs of switching to a new technology. And I don’t think Intel is so hard done-by that they are going to give it away free.

[Oncomputerstips.blogspot.com] On Computers Tips: I do not know why Intel is not blowing its horn about Pentium D? Maybe they are miffed at the less than stellar reviews of the dual-core 860 HT chip against arch-rival AMD. My take is dual core is great for power users -- like those who follow On Computers -- who want the much better (e.g., less hour glass) performance that only comes from having two CPUs ready to handle the juggling from all the processes we have going all the time.

[Emea.windowsitpro.com] News Flash: WSJ Confirms WinInfo Report About Apple on Intel: Although neither company corroborated the report, "The Wall Street Journal" noted that it has multiple sources for the story (as, incidentally, I did for mine). "Two industry executives with knowledge of recent discussions between the companies said Apple will agree to use Intel chips," the story reads. "One of the two industry executives said Apple isn't likely to market OS X for other PCs. Besides hurting its own hardware business, such a path would put Apple in more direct competition with Microsoft, whose application programs are important to the success of the Macintosh.
