By Bobbie Johnson, September 29 2008
The concept of using web-based programs like Google’s Gmail is “worse than stupidity”, according to a leading advocate of free software. Cloud computing – where IT power is delivered over the internet as you need it, rather than drawn from a desktop computer – has gained currency in recent years. Large internet and technology companies including Google, Microsoft and Amazon are pushing forward their plans to deliver information and software over the net. But Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation and creator of the computer operating system GNU, said that cloud computing was simply a trap aimed at forcing more people to buy into locked, proprietary systems that would cost them more and more over time. “It’s stupidity. It’s worse than stupidity: it’s a marketing hype campaign,” he told The Guardian. “Somebody is saying this is inevitable – and whenever you hear somebody saying that, it’s very likely to be a set of businesses campaigning to make it true.” The 55-year-old New Yorker said that computer users should be keen to keep their information in their own hands, rather than hand it over to a third party. His comments echo those made last week by Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, who criticised the rash of cloud computing announcements as “fashion-driven” and “complete gibberish”.

Atom buster
By INQUIRER Newsdesk: Monday, 29 September 2008
A BUNCH OF CHIP firms have banded together in a move that should get mighty Intel a bit hot under the collar. It’s called the Common Platform and the firms involved are IBM, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing, Samsung Electronics and ARM. And their aim is to develop a 32nm and 28nm Systems-on-a-Chip design “platform” based on high-k metal-gate (HKMG) technology. ARM is particularly miffed with Intel and its hype of the wee Atom chip. The firm designs chips which have tipped up in close to a billion mobile devices and many of these are capable of accessing the Interweb. Intel has been running a smear campaign against ARM without naming the outfit directly. But when Intel says “the Internet runs on our architecture,” it basically means “ARM has to faff about a bit to get Flash working on its devices.” So, getting on the front foot, ARM has announced it will develop and license a design platform of physical intellectual property including logic, memory and interface products for the Common Platform technology in alliance with its new mates IBM, Chartered and Samsung.

NVIDIA and ATI would each pay $850,000 to settle price fixing allegations
By Shane McGlaun – September 29, 2008
NVIDIA has offered to settle some of the pending lawsuits against it out of court. The suits in question that NVIDIA is trying to settle stem from allegations of price fixing in the GPU market. NVIDIA filed an 8-K form that outlines the settlement offer to close the litigation against it out of court. The agreement to settle claims from the class action suit that alleged NVIDIA and ATI conspired to fix pricing for their respective GPUs to inflate and stabilize GPU prices. Settlement of the claims will have NVIDIA paying $850,000 into a fund for the class with ATI/AMD providing a matching $850,000 contribution. While NVIDIA filed the 8-K form outlining and making its intent to settle the claims public, no official statement has come from AMD on the proposed settlement. Courts still need to approve the class action suit before the case is over. The settlement with the class waiting for approval by the courts does not obligate NVIDIA to pay for the plaintiffs’ attorney fees, costs, or any other payments besides the $850,000.

With all the talk of cellular handsets and multi-function devices these days, it’s hard to believe that there is still even a market for land lines or VOIP services but of course you know better than that. What’s perhaps more interesting than just plain old VOIP telephony and video services like Skype, would be the ability to provide access and functionality for a host of all the various media types; voice, video, text, photos, and interenet services. This is obviously what any traditional Telephony company has to compete with, when you consider the potential for the iPhone, Google’s Android platform and other up-and-comers. It seems the folks at OpenPeak have had their eye on the proverbial ball for quite some time now and today they’ve announced they’re putting a little extra muscle behind their product with Intel’s new low power Atom processor under the hood.

AMD is working to reduce the time and effort needed to produce GPU accelerated applications by increasing the ease-of-programming for developers, offering broader hardware and software support, and increasing the stability and overall maturity of the Stream SDK. The improved user’s guide increases usability for developers, lowering the barrier to entry for stream programming, and allows for wide adoption of the AMD Stream SDK. Moving forward, AMD firmly believes that the key to mainstream adoption of stream processing is through easier, more efficient programming tools, and is fully committed to supporting the development and implementation industry standards. AMD Stream SDK 1.2 benefits software developers looking to leverage the most sophisticated parallel processors inside a GPU to address a wide range of scientific, business and consumer computing applications.
