The INQUIRER Video Guide to IDF

IDF San Francisco Watching the defectives
Friday, 29 August 2008, 16:36

A SELECT BUNCH OF INQUIRER hacks were invited to Intel's Developer Forum last week in San Francisco. So we decided to get some of these oiks and some guests in front of the camera and give our fine readers the low-down on proceedings.

The first broadcast saw intrepid INQ reporters Charlie and Sylvie; and guest analsyst Nathan Brookwood discuss the opening day's keynote speeches by Craig Barrett, Dadi Perlmutter and Pat Gelsinger as well as a few other technologies that caught our eye.

On Day Two, the video crew tracked down some of the INQ staff in the hotel bar at the end of a very long second day.

Here Ian, Sylvie and guest Tim Smalley, editor of bittech.net, discuss the events of the day, including 3D movies, Nehalem, STDs, SSDs, Charlie coming in second - again - in the Ultimate Geek contest and we ponder the whereabouts of Intel boss Paul Otellini.

The third and final day catches the INQ writers slightly off guard as we are winding down from the show. Charlie finds himself all alone on the desolate IDF showroom floor, Ian is caught in bed with freelancer Mary Branscombe making geek pillow talk and Sylvie gives us the low down of the show while packing up her stuff and just about anything else she fancies.

Holding grudges...

"I hold grudges." 

It explains everything. :P

Yeah also I'll admit to skipping past the Charlie in shorts part to get to the title part of the third video.

On pic 3, Notice that in Mirror there is NO Reflection of Syl. Was that Head Stuffed into Pillow, Stuffed into Lugage? Notice How things fly thru air into Suitcase, Might be Cask.(Pickled Mike, Shoely), & then theres that alluring smile, Like Bite on Neck.

BE WARNED: Syl is Count Draculas' Mistress Vamp. OMG. Shanti, for Love of God, Get Something Silver.
