Petz - Re: "Anand reveals his pro-Intel bias by only using SSE-enabled Dragon Naturally Speaking and not also benchmarking the 3DNow!-enabled IBM Via Voice Gold." Is there a "3DNow!-enabled IBM Via Voice Gold." ? Paul

Re: "In fact, Anand reveals his pro-Intel bias by only using SSE-enabled Dragon Naturally Speaking and not also benchmarking the 3DNow!-enabled IBM Via Voice Gold. (He compounds his stupidity by stating that applications like voice recognition will never have 3DNow! support.)" Anand is just a kid. You can't blame him for being ignorant about the industry. The fact that he represents himself as something of an authority is unfortunate, however. Kevin

<Anand reveals his pro-Intel bias by only using SSE-enabled Dragon Naturally Speaking> Off topic, I have two friends and coworkers, who are also dating. The girl, who programs and supports tools internal to processor development, recently broke her wrist while snowboarding. She currently has only one hand available to type and move the mouse. Meanwhile, her boyfriend, who is in Intel Marketing, is bragging to me that he has a Pentium III 500 MHz workstation in his cubicle. I wondered jokingly why he doesn't give his Pentium III to his girlfriend. After all, I'm sure she can use its speech-recognition more than he needs it for his ... er ... marketing tasks. (On the other hand, I wonder whether her coworkers will mind if she's the only one in the office constantly speaking to her computer.) Tenchusatsu
