Well, it looks like President Obama has appointed another RIAA sock puppet to the US Department of Justice.

During the presidential race concerns were raised that Joe Biden (Now US Vice President) was very much in the pocket of the MPAA and the RIAA. It seems those concerns are now bearing fruit.

The latest appointment is Donald Verrilli who is the leach, um I mean lawyer that helped RIAA win $220,000 from a single mother. He will be given the post of Associate Deputy Attorney General. Verrilli's other accomplishments include pulling the plug on Grokster and suing Google on behalf of Viacom.

Despite poor i7 sales, Fab closings, layoffs, and other financial issues Intel is still right on target to release a 32nm CPU this year.

In a recent conference call that EE-Times was in on, Mark Bohr, director of Intel's technology and manufacturing group said that Intel was expecting great demand for the new 32nm process and was lining up Fabs to handle it.

Intel will be presenting 15 papers at the International Solid State Circuits Conference next week and is looking to launch 32nm products in Q4 of this year.

Fusion-Io is getting a new Chief Scientist. This is going to be none other than Steve Wozniak Co-Founder of Apple. Fusion-Io is a small company that had the novel idea of using Flash memory to allow servers to access data much faster than from SAN arrays.

We had the chance to take a look at Fusionn-Io's offering and were extremely impressed with its performance.

By bringing Steve onboard Fusion-Io will be able to utilize his extensive and often unique engineering expertise to compliment Fusion-Io's already impressive product.

Time Warner (the third largest ISP in the US) is looking to become the first major ISP to impose billable usage caps.

After what Time Warner is calling a successful test in Beaumont, TX Time Warner is now looking to expand this new cap to other areas. Alex Dudley, a Time Warner Spokes Person said "It's clear to us that customers want online video, which requires substantial investment in the network. We're willing to make that, and we're trying to find an equitable way to distribute the cost of that investment."

The problem is that the people that experienced the cap were not happy at all about it. Time Warner put a 5 Gigabyte cap on their $30 service, any bandwidth used over that was billed at $1 per Gigabyte. I am not sure where Time Warner got the 5GB limit as just downloading the latest BETA of windows 7 would put you at your limit.

Asus and Garmin have joined forces to launch a new smart phone.

The new phone will be called the Garmin-Asus nuvifone G60 and will be the first mobile phone that is Location-Centric.

I am sure you are wondering what that means exactly, well in simple terms it means it is a GPS device at heart and a smart phone 2nd. This is in contrast to most GPS enabled phones where the GPS functions are secondary or an afterthought.

It seems like NVIDIA are playing the same old and boring brand name games again.

According to a leaked memo, NVIDIA are set to introduce us the GeForce GTS 250 graphics card at CeBIT in Germany next month.

It looks like the team at India who promote Google did a few lines of pure columbian Yayo before a brain storming session one night. Because if you look at what's been created, it's surely the only thing that can explain it!

Say hello to the Google Internet Bus, essentially a mobile internet cafe with super fast internet inside. The main reason for setting this up is to better educate the poor people in India who may not have even heard of the internet before, let alone used it.
