    What a shock

    Since they can't just keep clocking up their crappy chips anymore and calling it 'innovation,' Intel is now masking the speed rating to keep Joe Sixpack Windows PC buyer from realizing it. Wow, never saw that coming.

    They need another metric that keeps on going up to give the uneducated the illusion of continuous improvement of their products... hmm... how about power consumption and waste heat production? Those seem to keep going up on every successive generation of Intel CPU.

    I can see the ads now--" the new Intel Pentium Ultra-31337 Extreme. It makes your electric meter go faster!" We can dress up the Blue Man Group as corrections officers and show a PC sitting in an electric chair or something, with them about to throw the switch! It's gonna be great!

    I think the customers...

    ...deserve to know the truth. Not some shady mask. Some how I do not find that the consumer will be benefiting from any of this.

    AOL Spam reduction

    I'd love to know how AOL computes that, and especially what percentage of legit emails have been blocked, too. In the last six months, AOL has twice blocked all email from UCLA, for about a day each time. Then when their new spam filter system went in place a month or so ago, all the email I sent to my students (I'm a TA) that were using AOL started getting blocked, apparently because their names were only in the BCC field. At least in that case they can go in and manually adjust the filter settings -- if they're on Windows, and if they know how.

    Only in the first of these three cases did I get any notification that my email was being blocked. The others I only found out about because my students told me they stopped getting my email. Great work AOL.
