Intel Is Fixing Design Error in Chipset.

From Intel Press Release:

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 31, 2011 – As part of ongoing quality assurance, Intel Corporation has discovered a design issue in a recently released support chip, the Intel® 6 Series, code-named Cougar Point, and has implemented a silicon fix. In some cases, the Serial-ATA (SATA) ports within the chipsets may degrade over time, potentially impacting the performance or functionality of SATA-linked devices such as hard disk drives and DVD-drives. The chipset is utilized in PCs with Intel’s latest Second Generation Intel Core processors, code-named Sandy Bridge. Intel has stopped shipment of the affected support chip from its factories. Intel has corrected the design issue, and has begun manufacturing a new version of the support chip which will resolve the issue. The Sandy Bridge microprocessor is unaffected and no other products are affected by this issue.

The company expects to begin delivering the updated version of the chipset to customers in late February and expects full volume recovery in April.

Glad to know that Intel is being pro-active with their quality assurance policy. The next step they need to do is to re-consider the position they just filled; they don’t really need it.

Seriously, can you give me the discs already?

One thing I really hate about buying computers for the past few years is the absence of OS Installer Disc or The Recovery Discs. Of course there are exceptions to the rule.

Seriously, I need to burn 10 DVD’s for the recovery discs? Come on.

Some people blames Microsoft for their insistence on not giving end users Windows Installer Discs. After all, the consumer are all pirates inside right?

Google to remove h.264 support from Chrome.

According to The Chromium Blog:

…we are changing Chrome’s HTML5 <video> support to make it consistent with the codecs already supported by the open Chromium project. Specifically, we are supporting the WebM (VP8) and Theora video codecs, and will consider adding support for other high-quality open codecs in the future. Though H.264 plays an important role in video, as our goal is to enable open innovation, support for the codec will be removed and our resources directed towards completely open codec technologies.

So will Chrome still support Flash Player? Flash Player is the container for many video formats including h.264.

Does this mean Google would not support non-open/proprietary codec like h.264 but support a non-open/proprietary container like Flash?
