As always I am glad to share with you some really exciting news fresh from the Intel Developer Forum that has just started in San Francisco, California. 10 years in a row Intel has been putting together a great show and an exciting technology event for us, so I think we can all congratulate Intel on the 10th anniversary of this initiative and wish them to keep up the good work.

The Keynote today started with an opening speech by Justin Rattner, Intel Chief Technology Officer. He highlighted the key challenges that emerged because of the rapid technology development and the tremendous c competitive pressure that Intel has been going through lately. However, all these hardships haven't taken away the excitement and desire to imagine and create new technology.
