The New York Times' Executive Editor, Bill Keller may have inadvertently confirmed the existence of the oft-rumored Apple Tablet in a private speech earlier this month. Keller may have also let slip the name of the new device: Apple Slate. Then again, he may have been speaking hypothetically based on the common assumption that Apple is about to release a tablet device in the next few months. Here's what happened: The Keller Speech - On October 15 or 16, Keller gave a speech during an "all hands" meeting for the Times' digital staff at TheTimesCenter in New York, according to a post by Harvard's Nieman Journalism Lab. During the speech, Keller made a reference to the Times' strategy for mobile devices. "We need to figure out the right journalistic product to deliver to mobile platforms and devices," Keller said. "I'm hoping we can get the newsroom more actively involved in the challenge of delivering our best journalism in the form of Times Reader, iPhone apps, WAP, or the impending Apple slate, or whatever comes after that."

Tilera Targets Intel, AMD With 100-core Processor
By Agam Shah, Oct 25, 2009
Tilera on Monday announced new general-purpose CPUs, including a 100-core chip, as it tries to make its way into the server market dominated by Intel and Advanced Micro Devices. The two-year-old startup's Tile-GX series of chips are targeted at servers and appliances that execute Web-related functions such as indexing, Web search and video search, said Anant Agarwal, cofounder and chief technology officer of Tilera, which is based in San Jose, California. The chips have the attributes of a general-purpose CPU as they can run the Linux OS and other applications commonly used to serve Web data. "You can run us as an adjunct to something else, though the intent is to be able to run it stand-alone," Agarwal said. The chips could serve as co-processors alongside x86 chips, or potentially replace the chips in appliances and servers.

China is set to flood the world with chips
Growth predicted
By Ed Berridge, 26 October 2009
AFTER THE CHINESE semiconductor market dipped in 2009, the industry is expected to be major force in the world markets next year. According to bean counters at Isuppli, China's semiconductor market is expected to rebound vigorously as exports of electronic products recover from the global economic crisis. Sales of Chinese semiconductors will decrease to $68 billion in 2009, down 6.7 per cent from $72.9 billion in 2008. While this sounds bad for China's semiconductor makers, they actually have been doing a lot better than other chipmakers, as the semiconductor industry as a whole suffered a 16.5 per cent decline this year. However the Chinese government's economic stimulus package and the country's own domestic electronics market rebound in the first quarter seem set to turn China's chip market around.
