Having seen a great demo and presentation this week about the new VirtualBox 1.6 release, I have been enjoying trying out the various combinations to see which ones I like more. Today I tried out the Solaris version of VirtualBox on my OpenSolaris 2008.05 laptop. My laptop is a Sony VAIO, a Centrino Pro processor based system. [...]
Ah, Friday, my favorite day for watching a few videos at work. I've been monitoring how many developers are watching all of the segments of the video series we've posted on the Take Five site. It is natural that not everyone will make it to the end, but I'm wondering if there is anything we could do better. First, [...]
When The Perfect Is The Enemy Of The Good I've already discussed the benefits to Intel Graphics and HDMI Audio in a previous post, and complained about the HDCP repeater mode bug (still unresolved as of graphics driver release 15.9.2) which forces people to use gray-market software if they want to use Intel HDMI Audio to [...]
These were more or less the words of wisdom that a well respected blog-vet offered as I was contemplating my initial post. Who am I? I started with Intel in 1984 as a software engineer and have since held a variety of technical, marketing, and program management roles. In my current role, I get to [...]
I am happy to launch my first Blog post as a member of Intel's Software College and Academic Community. Much of this first post is introductionary & I am looking for your feedback. I am working with some of the brightest folks here at Intel, our subject matter experts and architects, such as Clay Breshears, Michael Wrinn, Bob [...]
I installed the final release of OpenSolaris OS 2008.05 on my Sony Vaio Centrino Pro laptop. OpenSolaris 2008.05 is the new product based on the OpenSolaris project. You can obtain yours by going to opensolaris.com. In fact I'm typing this blog post between sessions at CommunityOne on my new OpenSolaris 2008.05 installation! Some initial impressions: 1. The OS [...]
I just had coffee with an old friend, an M.D. (and an active extreme gamer) active in building a virtual world for medical emergency preparedness. He's very excited about his work, and said he receives avatars and location models from many sources around the world in his medical circles, and is now building a repository to store [...]
Thanks to my good friends in our SSG Marketing group, I did a 5 minute video on the work we're doing at Intel to enhance OpenSolaris for our processors. Here is the URL - http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/videos/home.aspx?fn=1490: Of course, none of this would be possible without the awesome work from very talented engineers. My thanks to [...]
I hate moving. Nothing ever goes as it should. It takes 10 times longer than you expected. And that last box is finally unpacked just before you end up moving again. There's got to be a catch There are 5 CC-states and, depending upon how you count, 6 PC-states in the Penryn line of Intel processors. And, [...]
I won't say my last post here was harsh-- it was heartfelt and survives a reread without me flinching-- but I wanted to be fair and illustrate why I think it's a big issue. What competitive advantage are we squandering / have we squandered here with HDCP issues over HDMI? I won't go too deep into [...]
