IBM Steps Toward Thinking Machines U.S. Supercomputer Fastest in World Dell Makes Green Move with Bamboo Cisco, Logitech Target Mainstream After AMD: Intel's Next Big Battle Motorola's Set-Top-Box: A Hard Sell A computer with the power of a human brain is not yet near. But IBM researchers report that they've simulated a cat's cerebral cortex, the thinking part of the brain, using a massive supercomputer. At least for the moment, the world's fastest supercomputer is devoted to solving scientific questions that may save the planet rather than advances in nuclear weapons that might end up blowing it up. Bamboo has sprouted all over as consumers increasingly seek out products considered gentler on the Earth. Now, Dell is using bamboo to replace paper, plastic and plastic foam packaging materials. Videoconferencing may finally be headed for the mainstream. The technology that lets people around the globe hold face-to-face meetings may finally become an everyday part of business life. An important benefit of Intel's recent settlement with AMD is that it lets Intel now deal with what may become an even greater headache in the coming years: the challenge posed by ARM Holdings. During Motorola's last attempt to sell a big business, it had to take a detour. The company hopes its effort to find a buyer for its TV-set-top-box and network-equipment businesses meets with better results.   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   FULL STORY   IBM Steps Toward Thinking Machines   U.S. Supercomputer Fastest in World Dell Makes Green Move with Bamboo To replace plastic packaging materials.   FULL STORY Cisco, Logitech Target Mainstream Videoconferencing for everyday use.   FULL STORY After AMD: Intel's Next Big Battle Focus is on threat from ARM Holdings.   FULL STORY Motorola's Set-Top-Box: A Hard Sell Mixed track record hinders prospects.   FULL STORY HP's 3Com Deal Challenges Cisco Virtualization Can Help Your Business Review : The HP ProBook 4410s Stocks Surge on Jobs Data, Cisco Cisco Forecasts Revenue Growth Dell Unveils Super-Thin Adamo XPS Garmin Reports Surge in 3Q Profit Acer Aims To Be Top Notebook Maker Hynix Reports First Net Profit in Years Acer Goes Deep with 3-D Laptop Is Your PC Ready for Windows 7?
