If Casio need a goog worker they should check out Andy Glew. Phew! What merits, well received from a benevolent Google cache here

Career Goals
Get onto the Ubiquitous/Pervasive/Portable/Wearable/PDA bandwagon!
I am more and more persuaded that the desktop PC is becoming obsolete (although it may be a useful cash cow), and that computing will become ubiquitous: people will carry their personal computing devices with them at all times, interfacing to ubiquitous I/O devices.
I want to get involved! Ways that I could contribute:

Develop high performance low-power microprocessors for use in mobile (PDA & wearable) form factors.
Many people believe that advanced microarchitecture and low power are mutually exclusive. I do not! Rather, I believe that advanced microarchitectures will be essential for obtaining high performance in low power microprocessors.
To help build the first low-power microprocessor that applies leading edge microarchitecture techniques (such as dynamic execution, out-of-order, implicit multithreading, or static dataflow)
Develop advanced microarchitectures for low power
Charge recovery logic
User interface software development for pen based applications for large wall-mounted blackboard I/O devices. Hardware prototyping as necessary (although it's the software that matters most)
System software development: disconnectable filesystems, databases, version control, personal information management (PIMs).
Miscellaneous
Challenging hardware/software development.
To design the next generation of high-performance microprocessor, going beyond out-of-order dynamic execution and instruction level parallelism towards meso-scale parallelism.
To apply the technical management concepts that can create a "Breakthrough System" for creative work like Computer Architecture; to recreate Thomas Edison's "Invention Factory" in the modern world.
To apply agile programming methodologies like eXtreme Programming to Computer Architecture (including pairing & unit testing) in order to develop microprocessors better, quicker, and with less project risk.
Skills
Performance Tuning and Analysis
Both hardware and software.
I can make anything run faster!
Hardware
High-performance computer architecture, especially out-of-order microarchitectures.
Parallel processors
Synchronization
Cache and Bus Protocols
Memory Consistency Models
Super-scalar Processors
Behavioural and structural modelling in RTLs (register transfer languages) such as iHDL (Intel Hardware Description Language).
Computer arithmetic, particularly redundant forms to increase performance.
Systems software issues, especially OS and Virtual Machines.
Software
OS: UNIX System V and BSD 4.3 kernel. Some NT, LINUX, + FreeBSD kernel. Device drivers.
Programming Languages: C, C++, LISP, Perl used regularly. Familiar with many others.
Assembly Languages: 680x0, 88K, 80x86, Gould PN and NP, MIPS R2000, PowerPC, Alpha.
Environments: super-micro to mini-super.
Databases: author of Perl-SQL
User Interface: natural datatypes: handwriting, speech, video
Timeline: Education and Employment
I have interleaved and overlapped education and employment throughout my career:

July 2002-date: Computer Architect, AMD.
January 1991-June 2002: Computer Architect, Intel.
August 1996-June 2000: Graduate Student, University of Wisconsin:
did not complete Ph.D. (CS).
September 1987 - January 1991: MS (EE), University of Illinois.
December 1985-November 1989: UNIX kernel programmer,
OS developer, Performance Analyst. Gould CS

And as a slashdotting attempt to punish Google for suing people, here's a regarding the Star Ballz lawsuit.

I found this site which has some relevant information.

And to even out the sarcasm, pretty well.

Or how about Evil Empire!

Google vs MSN

Unfortunately, news-googling on SGI and Linux only gives low-key results; i.e. nothing like Reuters, AP, Bloombergs, or NY Times.
