DaveB, I think SI is having serious problems of SOME sort. No new intel posts since yesterday, at least from my screen. And very few rmbs posts.......... .....Maybe scumbria loosed a terrible virus on the system. <vbg> actually, it is rather nice, with almost zero noise, and almost zero content. good luck!!!

SAMSUNG ELECTRO-MECHANICS STEPS UP RAMBUS DRAM PRODUCTION Story Filed: Monday, March 12, 2001 10:18 PM EST SEOUL, Mar 13, 2001 (AsiaPulse via COMTEX) -- Samsung Electro-mechanics (KSE: 09150) said Tuesday it will expand production of printed circuit boards for Rambus DRAM from the current 600,000 units a month to 1 million within this year. The company will also strengthen marketing towards Samsung Electronics Co. (KSE: 05930), the largest producer of Rambus DRAM. SEM expects to see a rise in sales of more than 50 billion won (US$39.4 million) this year through the increased production of Rambus DRAM PCBs. "Pentium IV PCs and high performance game machines use Rambas DRAM, so the demand will be about 35 million units this year, which is six times last year," a source from SEM said. "We plan to take first place in the global market by grabbing more than 20 per cent of the market share," he added. (Yonhap)

Scientists, engineers rail at PC industry SAN JOSE, Calif.--Computers are illogical machines in dire need of a total overhaul, and the information technology industry is completely screwed up...... The essence of the speakers' complaints was that computer engineers have spent the last five decades designing computers around the newest technology--not for the people who use the machines. That has resulted in computers packed with technologically interesting but relatively useless features that have little to do with our daily lives. The vast majority of computers have few interactive features and are largely unable to forecast human behavior, Buxton said, rendering them less advanced than airport toilets that flush automatically when the user departs the stall. "Shouldn't your computer be as smart as your toilet?" Buxton asked to a round of laughter. Speakers compared modern PCs to Cuisinarts--highly functional, expandable machines that typically gather dust on kitchen shelves, largely unused by novice cooks because they're heavy, hard to move and too complex. They said the computing industry has largely lost touch with humanity and needs to reconnect by importing anthropologists, sociologists and regular users into the design and engineering process. "We have a market of very confused customers and observers," said Martin Schuurmans, executive vice president and CEO of Dutch electronics giant Philips' Center for Industrial Technology. "We distinguish ourselves by the color and design, and...maybe a blinking antenna in Japan. I would call that a world fragmented with features, and...of course it cannot stay that way." news.cnet.com
