1. Comment - AOL Takes On MTV With Music Videos

   (Apr 20, 2005 - 1:15 AM)

   FYI: Warner Music is not part of AOL, unless AOL decides to buy a controlling block of shares in the upcoming WMG IPO.
   
   A charge of less than a penny per view of video is a great deal for 6-24 MB of bandwidth used per video; any idea how this works?

2. Comment - Dual-Core AMD Opteron Prices Leak

   (Apr 20, 2005 - 12:50 AM)

   Can't compare a multi-way multi-core with a single-way multi-core and expect people to sort things out beyond the marketing & price tag.
   
   IMO, Athlon64X2 vs P4EE-EM64T is where the cost comparison needs to be made.
   
   If adding another high-cost consumer processor is a milestone, then props to Intel. If Microsoft hadn't held up WinXP64 for two years so Intel could re-engineer their 64-bit solution for x86 compatibility, Intels consumer dualcore hurrah would have been an even less interesting.
   
   As it stands, the thing of REAL interest here is that Intels server CPU in dual-core isn't due until 2006.
