A company called Anchor Free is touting its software HotSpot Shield to the Chinese as a way of being able to access websites like YouTube and other sites blocked in China, using VPN routing.

AMD set to rain on Intel's Larrabee parade

PostTime : Tuesday, 01 April 2008 | Posted by : artfish | Author : Mike

YOU WOULDN'T think that an Intel Developer Forum would be the place to find out about AMD's Thunderstorm project, would you?
AMD doesn't even want to talk to the INQ any more, so we were surprised to bump into a bus driver here in Shanghai who seemed to know more about Intel's plans than your average road pilot.
The roadmap is this. AMD's Thunderstorm project, first published on my bog a few weeks ago, will put paid to Intel's Larrabee's plans by being released before the e...

Intel marshalls troops for lunch extravaganza

PostTime : Tuesday, 01 April 2008 | Posted by : artfish | Author : Mike

A BEVY OF lasses was engaged by Intel to make sure we all knew where we were going for lunch.
The media needs telling where to go and what to do and so it was quite easy to follow the signs and be treated to demonstrations of things like wireless HDTV, some of which don't seem to be quite ready.
We all did as we were told, and dutifully trooped around watching carefully as the staff adjusted the hemlines of the tables in case a guest should drink too much orange juice and t...

PostTime : Tuesday, 01 April 2008 | Posted by : artfish | Author : Mike

ANDREW CHEN is a senior guy at Intel's R&D division and told us that he wants to explain vectors that will help "chip away" obstacles to every day sensing and receiving.
There are three pillars to this - Intel wants great people, wants to openly collaborate with boffins, and have expertise that spans sociology and other soft sciences.
Not media studies, we notice he didn't say. Chen said Intel had a deep introspective look at what was happening, sort of contem...

INTEL CHINA'S MD told us today in fluent Mandarin that in last 20 years the firm has just growed and growed like topsy.

China unblocks BBC news website

PostTime : Wednesday, 26 March 2008 | Posted by : artfish | Author : Artfish

CHINA APPEARS TO be taking accusations of its media censorship to heart, and is now trying to show the world that it will allow some tiny measure of freedom if it has to. The BBC reports that people in China are now able to access the BBC News website which has long been blocked by Beijing.
China’s Communist lackeys are usually very strict when it comes to muzzling foreign news sites, but it seems they are letting the BBC off the hook as Beeb staff posted in China report that they c...
