...PowerPC refers to a family of microprocessors--the "brain" of personal computers and workstations--made in a joint effort by IBM, Apple and Motorola. It implements the so-called POWER architecture--how the microprocessor itself works as well as how it interfaces with the other components of a computer--originally developed by IBM and used in its successful RS/6000 series...
...Utah transplants from Toronto, telecommute from a mountain house and, for about 100 days a year, from the cabin of their 36-ft. Catalina sailboat, the Miss Behaving III, on the Great Salt Lake. A consultant with a contract to distribute high-end data communications systems for Motorola's Codex Corp., Janus says that "the boat's especially nice during the heavy winter snows. Or if there's a great sunset on a Sunday evening, I can just stay on board until Monday morning." It is also as useful as the golf course for hustling business. He says, "Our best...
...voice messages as well as make cellular phone calls. Designed and manufactured by EO, a new Silicon Valley company that is 50% owned by AT&T, the Communicator will have a head start on several rivals expected later in the year, including Apple Computer's similar Newton model and Motorola's Dragon. To celebrate, Warwick gave the team that developed the Hobbit a symbolic gift: a desk clock. "It was to remind us that we received our wake-up call," he says...
...Pentium and other processors from Intel and Motorola, on the other hand, follow a design philosophy called complex instruction set computing (CISC), aimed at doing as many kinds of tasks on the chip as possible, thereby making the programmer's life easier but costing time with slower instruction execution...
...battle between the two strategies appears to be won by the RISC side, as evidenced by the proliferation of RISC systems and RISC features included in the Pentium and the Motorola 68050, a chip still in development. Despite all the heat in the microprocessor industry, most users need not be concerned since many of the new systems will be able to run software written for rival machines...
