>>Denni, looks like you're "it" for Comdex. We expect a full report, at least about Intel. no way. carl is it. i will do my best but most people sitting at home/work will be able to get the info from the web. broadcast.com or comdex.com will broadcast the keynotes live. intel has really reduced their presence this year. interactive.wsj.com Digits: Gambits & Gadgets In the World of Technology Comdex snubbed, part one: In a major defection, Intel Corp. has opted to forego a booth at the giant Comdex Fall trade show in Las Vegas later this month. Intel has paid for exhibition space every year since 1989, but this year will pass. "We decided it just didn't make sense anymore," says Robert Singer, Intel's director of corporate events. "It's just too hard to cut through the clutter." Exhibitors have complained for years about the show's increasing size and cost. Other recent defectors include International Business Machines Corp. and Netscape Communications Corp. Officials of Comdex, which is owned by Japan's Softbank Holdings, note that Intel won't be a complete no-show. The chip maker still plans to rent 3,000 square feet of space for meetings and promotional activities. Intel's president and chief executive, Craig Barrett, will also deliver a keynote. But this way, Intel figures it will spend only $1 million on the show -- about half of last year's expense. "Even the largest of shows have to be measured on their return on investment," Mr. Singer says. Tech Center Intel Pushes for Development of PCs That Are Stylish, Easy to Operate By DEAN TAKAHASHI Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Intel Corp. has seen the future, and it looks like an orange and silver pyramid with the top chopped off. The big chip maker is trying to use its considerable influence over personal-computer makers to inspire the development of simple, more-stylish devices that work like appliances. While Intel wouldn't make the machines, it is pointing the way with a prototype system that looks little like the rectangular boxes now sold by most PC companies. Intel's machine, code-named Aztec, has been quietly shown to manufacturers and will be featured in closed-door meetings at the Comdex computer show in Las Vegas later this month. The distinctive creation, the work of industrial designer Ziba Design, jettisons several venerable technologies that have made PCs complex and costly. This Legacy Free PC, as Intel calls it, uses new packaging and communication techniques to operate more efficiently and with fewer wires and accessory circuit boards.
