Google dealt with another service outage Monday that impacted users around the world. Today's service outage, which began at approximately 8:30 a.m. EDT, appears to have affected only Google's popular Google News service. As of this writing (9:44 a.m. EDT) the service outage had not been fully resolved. People have reported that when trying to access Google News they were met with a "503 Server Error" message and "Please try again in 30 seconds." Others could access Google News, but the site was not displaying pages correctly, or when links to other Google News categories were clicked, more "Server Error" messages appeared. (UPDATE: Access to Google News appears to be restored (9:50 a.m. EDT). Users are reporting that the service interruption to Google News, which lasted approximately 1.5 hours, is over.)

GlobalFoundries, T-RAM promise denser caches
by Cyril Kowaliski May 18, 2009
Future AMD processors may end up with denser caches than expected—as could other chips manufactured by AMD's former foundry arm. Indeed, GlobalFoundries has announced a joint development agreement with T-RAM, as part of which the two firms will bring T-RAM's Thyristor-RAM embedded memory technology to "advanced technology nodes." Thyristor-RAM will find its way into GlobalFoundries' 32nm and 22nm processes in both bulk-silicon and silicon-on-insulator flavors. If what AMD told us last November is still accurate, GlobalFoundries will start ramping its 32nm bulk process in the fourth quarter of this year, with the 32nm SOI variant to follow in the first quarter of 2010.

Via claims Dell server win
By Andrew Thomas May 18, 2009
Straight from the 'you couldn't make it up' department comes news that plucky Via - the company that insists its name should be written in ALLCAPS - has won a deal with Dell to launch a new range of servers. Little Via, which also has a habit of naming its silicon after Old Testament prophets, reckons its little Nano chip is set to knock Intel and AMD off their perches in a Bible story come true David vs Goliath moment. The New York Times reckons Dell is about to announce a new server product based on the Nano. The Dell XS11-VX8 is reported to offer twelve CPUs in a single 3.5" rackmount case, consuming a miraculous 30W.
