A new chip technology could encroach on flash memory and hard-disk drive market share, as a group of companies led by IBM explore phase-change memory. Big Blue, Macronix and Qimonda on Monday announced joint research results that give a major boost to this new type of computer memory, which they are...
The holiday season is upon us, and that often allows time for a little deep thinking, particularly given current events, about what is important and what we should be focusing on. Still, we can't forget about shopping, as much as we would like to, so I'll offer some unique gift suggestions. I'd like...

Gone are the days when laptop computers were well-traveled -- but temporary -- replacements for a more powerful desktop computer. Currently, buyers are hard-pressed to narrow their purchasing options to just a few choices. Powerful alternatives abound, making this time of year one of the best for up...
Cornell University researchers have created a robot capable of self-awareness, learning and adapting -- all keys to the intelligence and technology needed for robots to function in adverse and changing environments. The Cornell researchers said their robot did not rely on predetermined models of mov...
Intel this week began selling quad-core Xeon and Core2 Extreme chips, making good on its promise to deliver four-core computer processors ahead of rival chip maker AMD. Market uptake of the new chips may be limited to customers who need improved performance over that of dual-core processing. Nonethe...
AMD is discontinuing the PIC, a line of inexpensive PCs designed to help consumers in developing countries gain Internet access, according to the chip maker's latest regulatory filing.
