Upstairs there's an Internet lounge where you can surf the Web for 12[cents] a minute or pursue retro-tech avocations such as pinball and air hockey while you sip a beer made at GameWorks' very own brewery...
...race isn't over yet, though. Like every other high-tech company, Intel is grappling with the transition to networked computing. "All computing will take place in a connected setting in the future," explains Grove. "That places new requirements on everything we do in this industry." To prepare, Intel has endorsed a new NetPC model crafted in cooperation with Microsoft, and the firm's engineers have been busy developing new applications to take advantage of its powerful chips.

Mo Shepard over at Book Tech proclaimed that books are "Five percent of total education cost, and 80 percent of total education." How many classes do I take because of the syllabus, in spite of the professor's droning tone.... I believe. Maybe books are expensive, maybe they could shave off a few dollars here and there, but in the face of copyright lawsuits and the Harvard...
