Intel Unveils the 'World Mural Project'

Intel Corporation is celebrating their anniversary today by looking 40 years in the past and 40 years into the future by unveiling the World Mural Project, a digital artwork that captures the vision of young people on how computers will transform the globe over the next 40 years.

"Intel has a 40-year history of serial technology and innovation," said Intel CEO and President Paul Otellini. "When we introduced the microprocessor no one could have predicted that the market for PCs would be greater than 350 million units a year. Over the next 40 years Intel technology will be at the heart of breakthroughs that solve the big problems of health and environment. For Intel this is just the beginning of its journey."

The World Mural Project is a Web-based digital art piece that includes visual and written contents from the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network – a worldwide after-school community-based technology learning program that enables youth in underserved communities to acquire skills necessary for personal and professional success. Working closely with about 300 Intel volunteers at 70 Clubhouses around the world, more than 500 young people in 21 countries submitted graphic design "tiles" that were incorporated into an overall mural design. The project weaves together the individual submissions into one expansive digital mural.

Intel engaged renowned digital muralist Favianna Rodriguez to oversee the creative process and provide guidance to the project. Common themes represented in the mural include the trend toward smaller, more mobile computing, green technology that improves the environment, more responsive technology in health care and education, and virtual travel.

2 Watt PC Introduced

CherryPal Inc, has launched its cloud computer, that is a completely new type of PC with no moving parts and containing 80 percent fewer components. It uses only two watts of power and is designed to be highly secure. The CherryPal, which is currently available for pre-orders, retails for $249 and requires no monthly subscription fee and no other hidden costs.

"Today's typical PC is based on a computing model created 25 years ago, before the Internet, web browsers and global warming," said CherryPal CEO Max Seybold. "We have developed a new computing model that makes CherryPal the easiest to use, greenest, most affordable computer available today."

The CherryPal desktop consumes just two watts of power, compared to the 114 watts of power used by the average desktop machine, delivering a 98 percent decrease in energy consumption. Using 80 percent fewer components dramatically reduces the amount of resources it takes to manufacture a PC. Also, since there are no moving parts, the CherryPal desktop can last a decade or longer, eliminating the need to replace a computer every two to three years.

The CherryPal C100 desktop is simple to set up and boots in 20 seconds. Users just have to enter a username and password to access the CherryPalCloud, which offers an easy, intuitive interface. CherryPal has no exposed operating system, so all applications and functions are managed solely by a Firefox-based browser. CherryPal does all operation system and application upgrading and installation, meaning there is no maintenance required. Because there are no moving parts, there is little possibility of hardware failure. CherryPal also offers a free 24/7 helpline.

The CherryPal Hardware Specs consist of Freescale's MPC5121e mobileGT processor, 800 MIPS (400 MHz) Processor, 256MB of DDR2 DRAM, 4GB NAND Flash-based solid state drive, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, two USB 2.0 ports and one 10/100 Ethernet with RJ-45 jack
