Windows on ARM official, but leaves many questions unanswered: Pretty good rundown of today's Windows 8 on ARM announcement. There is still a lot of this which doesn't make a lot of sense to me, and Peter Bright for ArsTechnica hits all of the high points.
NVIDIA's Project Denver CPU puts the nail in Wintel's coffin: Jon Stokes has some good first cut analysis of today's mind-bending ARM announcement from NVIDIA:
"If NVIDIA can execute in all three areas—CPU design, GPU design, and SoC system design—then it could potentially make one killer gaming and supercomputing CPU. But this is a very tall order, and a lot of things could go wrong here. Right now, the GPU execution part is the only one where confidence is warranted based on a track record. With the system integration stuff and CPU part, NVIDIA is in uncharted territory. (The Tegra SoC part of NVIDIA's record isn't as relevant as you might think, because Denver is a different kettle of fish entirely.)"
This is going to be a very interesting story to watch in 2011 and 2012.
Confirmed: Tweetie 2 (Twitter) for Mac Is Coming!: Totally awesome. Really looking forward to the Mac App Store now!
Tweetie 2 for Mac slated for Mac App Store release: Boy, I hope this is true. I'm desperate for a new version of Tweetie for Mac OS X.
Windows 8 to introduce ARM: IF this really comes to fruition, it's going to send shockwaves through Intel. I'm definitely going to be keeping my eye on this, as it could be the story of CES.
