"In the new paradigm, the CPU becomes a peripheral,and the network central" Gilder, Nov. '96. gildertech.com Fast's all format nonlinear encoder that won so many awards, has no INTC processor. MSFT is doing a better job of bridging than INTC perhaps. INTC must be working its butt off trying to keep the CPU from getting pushed any further into the periphery, SoftDVD, Soft Encode will be good delaying tactics. There is little else to use up those cycles on. Gilder would say the most significant news today was what JohnR posted .... He is an early believer in JAVA...."JAVA does not optimize for the desktop at all. It does not adapt to the instruction set of the microprocessor. It is not designed for microprocessor speed. It is designed for programer speed. It asserts that the net paradigm eclipses the desk top paradigm...Jan '97 Message 7221161 Sun Microsystems and Canal+ TECHNOLOGIES, the technology division of Canal+, are developing interactive television applications based on the Java programming language.
