Intel Core i7 CPU

Intel has introduced its latest Core i7 CPU that promises to deliver vastly superior performance compared to the previous generation of Intel processors. According to Intel, the Core i7 parts deliver 40% more performance in processing intensive applications compared to the previous generation of processors. The CPU features Turbo Boost Technology that accelerates performance to match a computer user’s needs and the workload of the system at the time.

The on-die power control unit uses power gate transistors to automatically adjust the clock speed of one or more of the cores inside the CPU depending on the needs of the system. The technology also allows sleep states that are normally common only on notebook systems. Available processors include the Core i7-965 Extreme Edition runs at 3.20 GHz at $999 and the i7-940 running 2.93 GHz for $562 and the i7-920 at 2.66 GHz for $284 [all prices in US dollars].

Vista, Threatfire, Secunia PSI and NoScript & Perspectives = good clean security.

Deregulation of PUBLIC services

It seems Canada is on course to follow
the UK [video from Dispatches].
As there is more and more
privatization of Public business and
more and more service fees for that
which the government does provide; one
begins to ask just what is the job of
government and what is the cost of
getting the job done. World wide
politicians seem to have quit there
jobs while still showing up and getting
paid!
