It takes a bit of courage for me to read below an article or blog post, and it doesn’t even have to be my own writing for me to feel a little queasy. Digital discourse can get nasty, especially when it is anonymous...

Journalism has become less black and white today. From healthcare reform to progress in Afghanistan, commentators on cable news and blogs have refracted “the truth” into many shades of gray...

Your smartphone will have access to massive computing power if Intel's Clone Cloud finds a place in the sky...

The spread of applications and web services into 'the cloud' creates huge opportunities for mobile operators - if they can become the companies that host their users' data and apps on their vast servers, accessed across the internet from phones as well as PCs...

Each year, Intel invites the media to an event in Silicon Valley that’s a bit like a high school science fair. Hard news is scarce, but one gleans tidbits about some long-term directions in the computer industry...

We will not talk about clouds in the sky that shower rain but clouds that deliver a super computing power on the internet. Users do not need any sort of expertise or control over the technology or the support structure for that technology...

We love our mobile phones, especially our smart phones, and we've come to think of them as "mini" computers in our pocket. However, the nature of the phones' hardware still limits them when it comes to sheer processing power...

The problem with mobile phones is that everyone wants them to work like a regular computer despite lesser hardware specs. At least that is what Allan Knies of Berkeley thinks – and I agree. That is a problem that can be solved, if Byung-Gon Chun, Petros Maniatis and “the cloud” have anything to say about it...

Byung-Gon Chun, a research scientist at Intel Research Berkeley, seems to have come up with a very interesting solution for an ever increasing problem in the world of Smartphones. With consumers wanting more and more performance-wise out of their devices while still wanting good battery life, the relatively weak processors our devices are stuck with can often be a limitation...

The problem with mobile phones, says Allan Knies, associate director of Intel Research at Berkeley, is that everyone wants them to perform like a regular computer, despite their relatively paltry hardware...

Intel is best known for making CPUs, but its research division continues to bring new ways for users to interact with data on the Web...

Last week at Intel Research Berkeley’s open house, Sylvia Ratnasamy was able to speak with Geek.com on a new technology called RouteBricks...

Gaming may lead the way to a new technology era: the 3rd rebirth of computing, when incompatibility between devices, games and platforms will become a distant memory. Instead, the private cloud will funnel resources to smartclients -- more than thin clients but less than PCs. Intel's CloneCloud project could help make this idea a reality...

Yesterday, Intel Research Berkeley held its 2009 open house with some truly amazing people on hand to demonstrate their latest ideas and wares...

Being at the right place with a camera phone can make anyone an amateur reporter nowadays. How about turning cellphone users into amateur scientists?
