    I was all excited about this "insider's look" into the "behind-the-scenes" happenings in the silicone industry, but it looks like this is really just some company that makes computers or something. Man...

    Not even a single supermodel or anything! :(

    doesn't everyone just breakdance in radiation suits all day?

    Initially there were two other focus areas for the R&D team,
    but that was before they decided to get rid of the dancing guys
    in the shiny bunny outfits.

    1)Performance
    2)Power
    3)Integrity
    4)Functionality
    5)Tools and Methods
    6)Originality
    7)Choreography

    is the picture of the 10 GHz ALU test screen here. I just like the way they have the Windows Calculator next to the test screen, in order to check whether 2147483646 + 1 really is equal to 2147483647.

    The types of tests run in the CV labs range from network tests to playing games (which seemed to gather the majority of the CV engineers).

    All I gots to say is how do I become a CV Engineer. Getting payed to "test" the stability of chips during games.

    Uhh, no I dont think 20 hours of straight counter-strike is rigorous enough, we should do at least 20 more, for quality purpouses.

    No, seriously I need a job!

  7. Wireless? by Rufus211 · · Score: 2, Funny
    hrm...I've always been somewhat skeptical of Intel's "wireless" products, and I guess I had good reason to be:
    Intel's campus alone is entirely wired for wireless internet access for their employees.

    You just got to love all those wires for the wireless network =)
