Keynote oops a daisy

ALTHOUGH MICHAEL DELL shook hands with AMD's CEO Hector Ruiz in a morning keynote speech, his own keynote didn't go smoothly.

When introducing the Dell PowerEdge 6950 and SC1435, Michael Dell said: "...the Dell PowerEdge 6950, which is a four-socket platform, is based on AMD's latest microprocessor family, the Santa Rosa platform, the Socket F platform."

Since the keynote continued mentioning features which aren't inside Intel's mobile platform for 2007, we conclude that this should be classified as a keynote "oops-a-daisy".

With Chipzilla spending $300 million on marketing for Centrino Pro, it is little wonder that Dell's chairman of the board mistook a server class chipset for Santa Rosa.

Santa Rosa does not have any of the features Dell mentioned. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
