...gigahertz is the clock speed of Intel's new microprocessor, the speediest commercially available chip ever...
...Vapir actually takes the smoke out of smoking by heating rather than burning the herb, which permits the user to enjoy what the Vapir heralds as the very “essence of plant.” With the use of infrared rays, convection currents and its own microprocessor, the Vapir is capable of heating herbs to temperatures up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, releasing the herb as a barely visible vapor mist rather than as smoke...
...networks expand, any device in your home that has a microprocessor in it could potentially hook up to your home network, either for content delivery or home automation," says Chris Kaminski, editor and founder of HomeNetHelp.com a networking-advice website based in Ferndale, Mich. In such a setup, the computer becomes a peripheral, just one other machine being fed from the outside. And your broadband-service provider would become your source for movies, music and games. The first step is to establish standards that allow providers to deliver these services to individual homes and control how content is used...
...this is a two-front war, with a lot of skirmishing also at the lower end of the market. High-powered computing has traditionally relied on the costly, time-consuming R. and D. that makes Sun and IBM legendary. But continuing advances in microprocessor technology enable Intel to sell blazing-fast chips that, when run by Microsoft Windows, allow some manufacturers to sell very fast servers for as little as $2,500. That trend is broadening the market for servers, making them affordable to almost any firm that wants to sell on the Web or manage its inventory better. That...
...started when I saw a new toaster from Oster that offered 63 different settings. Called the Perfectionist, this $60 microprocessor-controlled box has separate calibrations for bagels, English muffins and regular bread. It reheats and defrosts. And it charts its progress on a blinking, beeping, digital pie chart you can watch while you wipe the sleep from your eyes...
