...same hysteria flows when large, fast-growing high-tech companies start shopping around for new plant locations. Intel Corp. invited six Western states--Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Utah--to compete for a new computer-chip fabrication plant, or fab, and selected the winner in March 1993. A senior executive explained the decision this way to the San Jose Mercury News: "We're going to build where Intel gets the best deal...
...thing, with a video and graphics accelerator (which makes everything from spreadsheets to games look better on your monitor), 2-D and 3-D accelerator, and even a TV tuner (you can watch television on your PC if you attach your cable). Best of all, it has a chip that quickly compresses video using the high-quality MJPEG format, making editing a snap...
...decade later, Haiti will load the cinders onto another boat and stamp the poisonous pile Return to Sender. The cleanup was delayed by the cost--up to $1 million--and denials of responsibility. A waste hauler with links to the original dumper has offered $200,000, and Philadelphia will chip in only $50,000. That leaves Haiti to pay the rest. Many landfills can now handle the ash, but for the sake of environmental justice, says activist Ann Leonard of Essential Action, based in Washington, the nasty stuff should be stored safely in Philadelphia's backyard...
Microwave ovens are fast and easy, but they can't broil, caramelize, steam, grill or roast food. The new Wolf/FlashBake 120 by Quadlux in Fremont, Calif., cooks nearly as fast as a microwave but runs on halogen lights controlled by a computer chip. Infrared rays brown the food while visible and near visible light penetrates and cooks it. First used in commercial kitchens in 1993, the new FlashBake oven for home use will cost $1,400 to $1,600 when it goes on sale...
WASHINGTON: More of Bill Gates?s videotaped testimony dribbled out Monday, as government antitrust lawyers opened up yet another front against the software giant. This time, the subject was Intel -- and the now-familiar blurry image of the billionaire was seen denying an attempt to muscle the chip-makers out of the software business. The feds are concerned about a meeting in August 1995 (when Microsoft appears to have been on something of a rampage, given the alleged Netscape shakedown that came a month before). Gates met with Andy Grove at Intel?s campus, intent on persuading his opposite number...
