Intel Developing Cellular Internet Chip

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pretty-cool-advancement dept.

yoey writes "Brief article at The Marker states, "The chip will enable laptop users to connect directly to cellular networks without the need of a modem in the same way that PCs in a local network connect with each other. [The] solution will enable laptop users to use cellular communication networks as if they were a local communications network. Intel will thus be able to realize an old company dream - the development of a computer enabling users to be connected, any time and any place, to the Internet."

    It's amazing that any work gets done in Israel at all considering the violence that is escalating over there.

    Also, how do they get clean room facilities when the whole place is covered in dust?

    Now we'll have to listen to politicians and journalists rant on and on about why surfing the Internet and driving shouldn't be allowed at the same time.

    Just when I was hoping those cell phone folks might be shutting up soon.

  8. Stephen King, author, dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
