There is no such thing as a secure perimeter, especially when the majority of attacks come with in "secure perimeters". Jon Honeyball is an idiot, and PC Pro just dropped another notch. His heavily caveated article doesn't have the common sense that God gave to a goose.
Each and every device that's connected in a network is potentially infected, rogue, and looking for others to maim. Every machine needs to be evaluated separately for its risk profile, as he mentions-- but you simply can't remove device security in the belief that other firewalls or services will do the unerring job of controlling the safety of a network. Run, don't walk, away from the concept of secure perimeters.
That's an interesting book. First, strip away the testosterone, the megalomania, sociopathic leadership, dripping narcissism, and bold quest to become rich out of some perversion of the American Dream, and you might have something: social darwinism and engineers bordering on autism. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
My guess is that Intel will do well for two quarters, then will die by a thousand cuts.... a languid interregnum.
If one considers the litigation that Intel's been under, the DOJ investigations, the settlements, the QA problems, the internal darwinian struggles, you might give a casual observation and say: oh, growing pains.
The problems with Intel amount to near-monopolistic zeal after having an "oil well in the basement" and failure to really spawn many other acquisitions into markets, the way that say, EMC can.
It doesn't help that one of their biggest allies has been sued and settled in 63 international jurisdictions-- Microsoft.
To answer directly: larger picture is a crook having trouble maintaining value, as a result of leadership and management practices. You heard it here: short the stock.
Ok, how about taking five years to do the PA-RISC=>Itanium and developing something that only a mother could love?
The list could go on. Instead, this discussion regards blatant usury for CPUs. There is shame when value propositions are done this way, and the shame is on Intel.
Everyone says you need something with the speed of a PLC or better to do realtime decode. That might be true if you want an inline-box, but an RTOS VM in a desktop hypervisor on a multicore machine ought to have sufficient strength to decode a realtime stream-- buffered correctly. There's enough left-over muscle on most video cards (hint: cell processors) to do it there, on the card, after an OS has buffered it all up. Objectionable aperiodic latencies could be stanched that way, too.
Do you work for these guys? The HDCP master key allows the hole to be created without a "black box". The blackbox is a myth.
And therefore, it's entirely relevant to yet another black spot in Intel's long history of doing things badly, and often for the wrong reasons. That they can make CPUs is unquestionably right, and they do a reasonable job of that when they're not co-opting the competition (think HP) or attempting to destroy them (AMD). They can do that much.
Their other business units have come and gone. And good riddance.
This *IS* Microsoft with a thesis. It's also a sales guy that's losing ground, just as has happened in many countries of the world. He's losing his grip. There's little way for Microsoft to make a PR coup out of this, which makes me wonder why you'd even bring this up.
IMHO, Microsoft's embrace of 'open' is similar to the other embraces that they've made, called The Black Widow Effect. It goes back to things like SQL Server, OS/2-LAN Manager, and other 'partnered' programs that turned into outrageous divorces with big name organizations.
Microsoft serves Microsoft. Make no mistake about this. If it's not invented here, then it needs to be embraced and squeezed to death.
Sadly, there are "Unix" assets. SCO Xenix 1 and 2 and/386 and some other stuff are licensed Unix ports. Not that they work very well. They don't own Unix (as seen in trial by jury, despite SCO's denial), but indeed, they have some licenses. Not that they're worth a plug nickel, but maybe someone might do something with them. Anyone but Larry Ellison.
Didn't say games, didn't say DvDs. Most of the PS/2 items I've seen don't have EULAs that I've seen. I don't usually buy DvD movies, so I'm not sure if there's a EULA or not. As it's not software, a license may or may not prevail anyway. Media is different than software licensing, both in law and in legal protection schemes.
Skype and MagicJack don't have to deal with CALEDA and 911, either. Phone calls over the Internet are largely unregulated, and for good reasons. Toll avoidance is an excellent business model, but other VoIP companies turned out to be fly-by-nights and fraudsters.
In this case, it's Internet access, subsidized with ads. To get access requires billions in capital, and with luck, sufficient ad-views to subsidize the cost. Oh, and the tolerance of inadequate speed, coverage, and services. While such a model might be lovely for fun, most people are blinded by the word FREE and think of open source, and other things that are FREE and useful.
And yes, I get to judge their business plan, just like you do, like the FCC did. Is it none of my business? Then why is it yours? Hijacking a discussion because you don't like the criticism seems inane.
From 1977 to here, I've watched loads of ostensibly interesting products fail for two simple reasons: 1) not enough 2) lack of capitalization. Do you wonder why the US falls so far behind in broadband? It's because the geography to cover it is miserable. This scheme is both underpowered, and vastly under capitalized. Sprint, Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile can't adequately cover the geography, and they've spent billions and billions and billions.
Do I like any of these carriers-- no-- they're uniformly hideous and my choice of Verizon is based on the best of the worst, IMHO. The FCC did what was prudent, bribes from the telcos aside.
Sorry to be a pragmatist but someone's got to pay for the backhaul, its maintenance, and inevitable raft of Cisco routers that make it all work. I wish we could ride for free, but lacking a rational funding model, it doesn't work, doesn't have real reach, can't be maintained, and is super-sucky slow. That's not progress. Do you want to have to watch an ad before you get email?
This speaks to one component of the US Constitution and *federal* liability-- not liability within the state. Encouragement to violate the law, safety standards, and put the public at risk of life and limb nullifies immunity by sovereignity in both Nevada and US litigation.
And it's a stupid idea. It leads to other unsafe behavioral remedies-by-tax, like peeing on the sidewalk, busting up parties with AK-47s, and other happinesses for some that are clearly illegal.
Instead, I watch supposed captains of the industry use weapons to try to kill each other in a post-modern version of industrial war. All's fair there, it's said. Indeed, it is not.
The revolving door effect is huge. Consistency isn't one of their passions, it's an accident. Yet they survive because part of their model changed the entire industry: slaughtering channel by cutting out the middleman/distributor/retailer. If tehy can get better product selection and wean themselves from Microsoft and Intel co-op bribes/funds, they'll be able to make more rational decisions, instead of ones that are made for them.
Mark me flamebait if you want, but Dell's core engine is great-- it's the big dogs that pound on them for fealty.

You want a consulting job?

They start with math co-processors that can't do math....

Or perhaps the suppression of data that supports a contrarian opinion or action.
The facts are, what they are. Peer review is vital. Yet trusting politicians to use information neutrally is suspect.
You'll recall what they said about OS/2. Strangely, oddly, uncharacteristically, OS/2 isn't on every desktop and machine. How could that be???
Amen to that..... and anything but a new clause in ACTA!

As it's not software, a license may or may not prevail anyway. Media is different than software licensing, both in law and in legal protection schemes.
No, that's not true.
I have thousands of books, CDs, vinyl, and none of them have a EULA that prohibits me from selling any of it at all.
It's all about the EULA, if you'll RTFA, including export restrictions (as cited, out of the Western Hemisphere in the case of AutoDesk).

An ad-free world is a beautiful world. Don't let the marketers co-opt what should be reasonable net access.
Free speech also has the connotation of not having to listen to vacuous tripe as admission price.
Well, yes, I RTFA.
Remember MetroPCS?

Not at all. I don't sell products *at all*.
Instead, I watch supposed captains of the industry use weapons to try to kill each other in a post-modern version of industrial war. All's fair there, it's said. Indeed, it is not.
And there's the point: I don't want a yacht. I want better incentives than industrial rape to advance computing.

Then there's the
