Finally, something intelligent is being done in this retarded low IQ planet we live on. We here at EUTimes have been demanding for years to end all manufacturing in Asia, especially in China and move our industry back to Europe and America. We can’t, we simply can’t continue to fund our enemies by offering them jobs and revenue. It is not normal to continue to fund China by importing their... 

Even though Nokia can’t do any manufacturing until 2016 as per the contract with Microsoft, the company is still prepping the Nokia C1 phablet for a launch this year. As usual, Foxconn will be making the handset for the Finnish company and from a series of leaked renders of the phone, we are looking at a pretty attractive device. I might be biased here, since I’m a huge Nokia fan and love flat,...

Haswell will follow Intel’s tick-tock development cycle and the first chips to make their appearance in 2013 will be fabricated using the 22nm Tri-Gate technology. This... 

We are giving up control of our computers and putting that control in another’s hands. Lauded as a security feature, Intel’s new Sandy Bridge processor can be remotely disabled by a hardware/software combination known at Anti-Theft 3.0. Systems can be disabled over 3G networks, even while the OS is not running. Even when the hard drive is replaced, the critical systems will still be terminated.... 

Silicon Valley leans Democratic. Based on comments made by one of the Valley’s biggest hitters, that may be changing. Intel CEO Paul Otellini got a lot off his chest at the Aspen Forum last night–with most of his frustration directed at the business-stifling policies of the Obama administration and the decline and fall of American competitiveness. Here are some key quotes reported by CNET’s...
