THE CONTINUING mystery of Intel's 13 Prescott New Instructions (PNIs) is, err, continuing to be a mystery, the INQUIRER can relate, today.

Intel "disappeared" web pages and PDFs about the 13 mysterious Prescott instructions it would not reveal to the INQUIRER, after sandpile.org exclusively revealed that they'd been on Intel's web site since February the seventh.

But now Intel has restored the web pages and the PDF, said sandpile.org, but has slightly messed up on the restoration, it has transpired.

The "hidden opcodes" have definitely disappeared from the main PDF document but, and there must be something spooky about the number 13, we reckon, have tipped up yet again, in a table in the appendix, post restoration.

What is going on?

The whole tale can be found at sandpile.org. 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?
