So today most of the big companies had their quarterly earnings calls. We heard from Intel, Microsoft, Apple, and many others. Most had both good news and bad some of this was surprising, some not so surprising. Despite assurances that Intel will “atomize” us (thanks for that one Francois) Intel reported that sales of the Atom CPU have dropped off. One of the big reasons for this is the increase in ARM’s presence in the market and a small showing by AMD with their new E350 CPUs.
You may have heard that Apple’s new OS, Lion is making all of the NAS appliances incompatible. Well, we can tell you that the reports of these appliances demise have been greatly exaggerated. In fact three days before the launch we heard from multiple vendors that they have new firmware updates that will be available to keep compatibility with Lion and its new version of Time Machine.
NETGEAR has even sent us theirs and we are at work testing is on their ReadyNAS Pro 6. So when you hear about how this or that product does not work, remember… you are listening to people that are ALWAYS trying to get a scoop sometimes they might not take the extra time to verify things before they push something like this out.
Keep checking back as we work to demystify some of what is out there on the net and give you the straight information.
In what is a rather interesting move for the mischievous group known as ANONYMOUS we are hearing they are working to file a real, legal class action law suit against what they are calling “private Federal Reserve Bank and it's shareholders”. Their claim is simple, they are angry that the Fed allowed the toxic debt that were building in 2008 and 2009 (and before when you really get to it) and now want accountability. They are asking everyone to join in for this. They have posted a PR statement and also Youtube video explaining everything. Since a picture is worth a thousand words we will let them speak for themselves but have also posted up their typed PR Statement.
When we first thought about launching Decrypted Tech, we wanted to offer our readers a different experience. Unfortunately we were also a little limited on funds. As such we moved forward with what we had and what we could build ourselves. For this I found the best site layout that I could that fit in with our vision of a very visual site. However, we lost on the feel of a user oriented experience.
OK I have been promising this for some time now and it is about time that I got moving on it. Decryptedtech is having another giveaway. After the response we got from the 6950 giveaway (where we made you work for it). We decided to add something to this one. In the next three reviews you will find words that are in bold. When you put these words together they will form a question; that is one question for each review. The questions should not be too hard but will vary in topic (Cake or Death?). Once you have all three answers just be the first to email us at
