Intel`s eeePC’s

My buddy works for a US Based OEM, and showed me a sample of one of the products that will be hitting US shores soon. This thing is sweet, super portable. I estimate it weighs less than three pounds, and has a carrying handle. He told me it was designed by Intel and is for education. I got on it to check my email and it was running XP Pro like a champ. When he got up for a minute, I snuck some pics of it and checked out the specs. It has a 900Mhz Celeron, 512 Ram, 40GB HD, 9 Inch screen, wifi, and Ethernet. It seems to be about 7” x 9”x 1.5”. I asked him how much it was going to cost, and he said he didn’t know but would probably be around 400 bucks. Said it should be available in the US by June. At 400 bucks, should kick the eeePC’s ass.

No blu-ray for sony xbox microsoft

ended up turning into outright commitments with Microsoft Microsoft, Sony, the Xbox 360, and Blu-ray. This topic has generated a lot of coverage, particularly since the demise of HD DVD. What originally began with just talks about the futureconfirming support for Blu-ray. That's a big step for Microsoft in and of itself, due to the investment they had in HD DVD. It's been speculated by many that Microsoft was in talks regarding Blu-ray integration into their baby, the 360.



That's not the case, with Microsoft denying they are actually crafting plans to do such. They have stated they are not dealing with Sony or any other Blu-ray Association member regarding this. This means, for the moment, that their support for Blu-ray will be entirely focused on Windows. Why not on the 360, however? It seems like an inevitable step forward they would have to take, and something that can benefit them. With the Wii having incredible sales and the PlayStation 3 picking up slack after such a long incubation period, you'd think they would take every advantage they can in making the console more attractive.

AMD just latest step in Abu Dhabi's tech plans

What does Abu Dhabi want out of Advanced Micro Devices? A way to make money that doesn't involve an oil well.

On Friday, Abu Dhabi's Mubdala Development announced it was buying an 8.1 percent stake in chipmaker AMD for around $700 million. Mubdala is a separate organization but its funded by the government. The emirate, part of the United Arab Emirates, is awash with money thanks to escalating oil prices so it needs to put the money somewhere. But there is also more going on in the deal.

Abu Dhabi, like nearby Dubai and Qatar, has been rapidly increasing its investments in the technology industry as a way to diversify its economic base. Oil is still gushing out of the ground in Abu Dhabi but leaders have acknowledged that fossil fuel supplies will inevitably dwindle. So rather than squander they money on cars and luxury goods, the government (and the investment trusts it owns) is effectively trying to create a version of the white collar economy that exists in North America, Europe and Japan.

The amazing part is the speed with which the emirate is acting. Last year, it set up Masdar, a $250 million clean tech VC fund. It has already invested heavily in HelioVolt, which wants to make copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS) solar cells, as well as Texas LED manufacturer AgiLight.

MIT is getting involved too. America's storied technology university has agreed to help Masdar build an alternative energy graduate school in Abu Dhabi. The school hopes to start admitting students in 2009.

The graduate school in turn will then encourage students and professors to incubate start-ups in the country. Abu Dhabi has a tiny population. Like Qatar, which has set up a university and incubator complex with help of institutions like Cornell and Rolls Royce, Abu Dhabi will likely recruit students and professors from across North Africa and Central Asia as well as from the immigrant communities in the U.S. and Europe.

The large investment in AMD will give investment managers and others in the country a way to study the high tech industry up-close. The country may not go out and build fabs after this one, but clearly there will be people in the country better educated on how things work in Silicon Valley. One of the major complaints among business people and even government officials in the Middle East is that many of the college graduates who come from these countries don't have much practical experience.

Will it work? It's hard to say. Dubai, which has created an Internet business park and opened its doors to chip makers, has only made a small dent in high tech. But like China, these countries aren't exactly democracies, so they can conduct long range planning. And the money is going to continue to flow there for the next several decades.
