It's All About The Pentiums, Baby!
News Not that I'm a big Weird Al fan or anything -- for that matter, who is? How come Intel couldn't come up with a little "Weird Al Inside"? I was disappointed that Intel didn't have Weird Al on hand to belt out his Intel-based song parody to developers.

"♬ Service Pack 3 Done Give Me The Blues♬♬"
Blog Way too freaking weird! I stupidly went at it again. This time I installed all the idiotic updates and security patches to bring the SP2 machine that wouldn't update to SP3 to SP2 up-to-date. In other words I took the RED PILL.

Atom Power - Part 2
Blog What's really weird is that the CPU chip is really not that remarkable. Had some time today to re-assess what I had learned yesterday about the Atom. The most astounding item might be that Intel has done an about-face in attitude and discovered...
