Effort Concludes Intel Chairman's 100-day Trek to Bring Technology to People from the Amazon to Africa

OSEEM, Egypt – In a small city near the Nile River where cars compete with cattle and modern conveniences are scarce, Intel Corporation is using computers and wireless technology to help Oseem's 200,000 residents tap into vast "knowledge resources" on the Internet in hopes of bettering their lives.

"Technology has expanded what is possible for the people of Oseem," said Intel Chairman Craig Barrett. "Intel is committed to support Egypt's leaders in accelerating access to technology so its people can get better health care, education and work skills."

Can Silicon Slay the Zombie? An Interview with an Intel Security Researcher

Some, such as viruses and worms, take advantage of trusting underlying operating systems and applications. Others, such as attempts at phishing* and pharming, prey on unduly credulous users. Yet even though most computer security concerns involve maliciously written code, it’s flat out wrong to label security a software-only problem.

“Security breaches almost always impact the underlying platform, and really, the hardware is where the buck stops,” said Victoria Stavridou-Coleman, an Intel researcher who studies issues of trust and manageability.

What is Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology?

Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology, or Intel® EM64T, is an enhancement to Intel's IA-32 architecture. The enhancement allows the processor to run newly written 64-bit code and access larger amounts of memory. These extensions do not run code written for the Intel® Itanium® processor. Click here for a more detailed description of Intel EM64T. Further details on the 64-bit extension architecture and programming model can be found in the 64-bit Extension Technology Software Developer's Guide.

for Dual-Processor Embedded Computing and Communications Applications

The Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor LV 2.0 GHz is a member of Intel’s growing product line of multi-core processors.

More than ever before, the market for communications and embedded computing applications requires a platform architecture which offers increasing processing capability while addressing the constraints of both footprint and power consumption.

Intel's new server chipsets for the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5000 series enable Intel® dual-processor (DP) balanced server platforms that are efficient, dependable, and responsive.

Intel® dual-core processor-based platforms help businesses better utilize assets with effective virtualization and increase density in their data centers through optimized power and thermal features.
 

With the Intel® 5000X chipset, Intel® dual-core processor-based workstations incorporate next-generation technologies for enhanced performance and visualization critical to high-end, graphic-intensive DP computing.

GEVENBROICH, Germany—Statistics can be confusing. Just ask students at Realschule Bergheimer Strasse in Gevenbroich. But thanks to technology recently integrated into mathematics instruction at this small-town secondary school, students now know how data can be manipulated to create different results.
 
 The software integration resulted after teachers at the school attended professional development courses aimed at helping them improve instruction with the aid of technological tools.

INDIANAPOLIS – Arriving from 47 countries, regions and territories across the globe, nearly 1,500 young scientists and inventors will compete for $4 million in scholarships and awards at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), presented by Agilent Technologies.
 
 They come with projects that could ultimately solve some of science’s most vexing problems, among them developing effective alternative energy sources, finding treatments for autism and other learning disabilities, reducing contaminants in the water supply, and reducing electronic waste. In all, more than 1,200 projects will be on display as students meet with senior scientists, exchange ideas and present their findings.

KENT, Washington—When students search for information online, they're apt to encounter a wide range of resources. "Some Web sites are great, some not so great," says Dana Standlee, a teacher at Emerald Park Elementary located in this suburb of Seattle. "Kids need to learn to skim through Web sites and know how to evaluate them."

That was one of several lessons embedded in a recent classroom project that began with a Webquest to gather information about Native American tribes. The in-depth project integrated social studies and writing, and also taught fourth-graders how to manage their time and work effectively in teams. "There were several different lessons along the way," Standlee says.
