So you've heard of the Intel® Atom™ Developer Program. As a game developer you may be wondering, "What’s the opportunity?” or “Why bother developing for Atom, won’t many of the same casual games created for a PC work fine on a Netbook?” To get answers I think you have to think outside “typical” PC gaming [...]

Divorce, it happens.  How do you manage divorce with Facebook and so many other connections in life?  What if you keep finding out things you would rather not know via social networking sites?  A simple example, my ex and her family are visible to me through our common children on Facebook.  Honestly I would rather [...]

I just proposed a compass API for the Moblin Sensor Framework. We'd like to eventually make it part of the browser so your web app can use the data (See Andy Idsinga's post). But for now on the Moblin platform, it's a GObject API. Go have a look and tell me what you think. If [...]

What is performance per Watt? Performance per Watt is pretty straight forward when you first look at it. Then you begin to sink in the quicksand you’ve blithely walked into. The panic sets in as you sink lower and lower. Eventually you decide to ignore the whole complicated mess and go back to saying to yourself [...]

Outside of that, I [...]

As someone that writes about ultra mobile computing for a living, the Intel Developer Forum is quite simply the highlight of my year.
