Sun Launches Faster UltraSparc-IV Jaguars After All
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Sun Microsystems did indeed this week launch the kickers to the "Jaguar" UltraSparc-IV processors running at faster clock speeds. There had apparently been some debate inside Sun as to whether these processors would come to market or not, and now the matter is settled. Exactly why there was any debate at all is an interesting thing to consider.

Mad Dog 21/21: Darned Coyote
by Hesh Wiener

It's a common enough experience. You ask yourself, "What am I doing here?" Don't think of this as a moment of doubt or confusion. Think of it as an introduction to cosmology, and as one of the many questions for which there may be no answer--not yet, maybe not ever--at least for mankind. But don't let that discourage you or keep you from asking other difficult questions such as, "Just how many different computer architectures do we need?" READ MORE >
