AMD's Quad-Core Barcelona: Defending New Territory
Luckily, today is the launch of AMD's third generation Opterons. It's only at 2GHz right now, but it's packed with many clever tricks to improve the number of instructions per cycle (IPC). There's also a surprise in store: 2.5GHz samples are already in the AnandTech lab, and they will be available to everyone in the fourth quarter. So there is a chance we still are going to experience an old fashioned breakneck race; a heated battle of epic proportions between AMD and Intel for the top spot in the server market. However, this will only occur if AMD's newest quad-core is able to outperform the Intel alternatives clock for clock by a decent margin. Read on to see whether AMD has been able to pull that one off...

The Global Brain - Network Centric Innovation
Satish Nambisan and Mohan Sawhney have come out with a new book on harnessing external sources of Innovation called The Global Brain.
In their search for innovative ideas and technologies, companies are realizing the importance of reaching out to a diverse set of external innovation partners. This includes customers, suppliers, amateur or independent inventors, academic researchers, scientists, as well as different types of innovation intermediaries who facilitate the innovation process (for example, idea scouts, invention capitalist, and innovation capitalist). The authors refer to this vast creative potential that lies beyond the boundaries of the firm as the Global Brain.
The term ?Global Brain? signifies two things. First, the external innovation partners are diverse in terms of not only their industry expertise or creative input but also in their geographical location. Second, the innovation partners form the nodes on a network ? i.e. the innovation network ? and it is through their continued interactions that the innovation would emerge. In sum, the global brain reflects both the global scope and the inter-connectedness of a company?s external innovation partners.
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of the book, specially since I'm very interested in innovation driven by consumers and other partners and secondly because Nambisan is an alumnus from XLRI ;-). I wonder if he'll send me a copy to review?
I wonder how the principles are different from Prahalad's views on Co-Creating Value or John Seely Brown and John Hagel's views on innovation across enterprises.

eBay Desktop Reaches 1 Million Downloads
Earlier this week the eBay desktop was downloaded for the 1 millionth time. That's a great accomplishment for one of the first AIR apps that's been developed.

He developed the initial AS 3 APIs and a very earlly alpha version of eBay Desktop. The team at effectiveUI took the project on after a conversation I had with them in a bus in San Francisco after the first Adobe component developer summit run by Ted Patrick. They're the ones who
