Star Wars Sith playing partisan?
With the official release of the latest Star Wars movie still a day away, the movie has already become a political football, writes the New York Times. Part of the problem is George Lucas opening the movie in Cannes, in the country that the Times writer calls "the biggest blue state of all."
At that opening, Lucas reportedly told the audience that he had no idea when plotting the film years ago that reality--apparently a reference to current U.S. politics--would so closely track his story of a democratic republic subverted by a totalitarian government. Now movie reviews are systematically quoting Anakin Skywalkers Bush-esque line, "If youre not with me, youre my enemy."
Conservative bloggers are now blasting Lucas, even calling for boycotts. The liberal group MoveOn.org is running TV c...

Help desk blues
Forrester released a study this week indicating most workers find their companies help desk services far from helpful. The survey of 2,000 business people puts the help desk dead-last in terms of information technology satisfaction.
Many respondents also complained about a lack of clear communication from their IT staff and poorly designed corporate intranets.
More about the survey here.

Power outage hits E3
File this one under extraordinarily lousy timing! According to a GameSpot report this morning, parts of E3 were operating with limited power just a couple of hours before the official opening of the giant game convention, which is expected to draw thousands.
Our man on the scene at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Richard Shim, confirmed the outage, which he said started Wednesday morning and hit part of an area leading to the West Hall, as well as some executive meeting rooms, including the press room. He said the lights went back on at about 1:25 p.m. PST. During the outage, lamps were set up in some of the meeting rooms, Shim said. He also noted that the slightly humid weather, combined with the downed air conditioning, was "making some of the attendees kind of ripe." Shim admitted...

Samsung cranks out PlayStation 3 memory
Samsung Electronics has produced samples of 512 megabits XDR DRAM on the 90-nanometer process. XDR DRAM is high-speed memory based on designs from Rambus. XDR memory transmits data at up to 9.6 gigabytes per second, about 12 times faster than todays standard computer memory.
Sony will stock the PlayStation 3 with XDR (formerly called Yellowstone) from Samsung, Sony has said. The current PlayStation 2 runs on RDRAM, another type of Rambus memory.

Gateway snags the University of Arizona
Gateway, the struggling PC maker trying to mount a comeback, got a ringing endorsement from the University of Arizona, which signed a five-year $45 million deal with the Irvine, Calif.-based company. Under the deal, Gateway becomes the lead technology provider to the campus. University staff, faculty and students will also receive discounts on desktops, laptops and services like training.
When the bottom fell out of the PC market in the fall of 2000, Gateway was the first victim. Sales plummeted and prompted management changes. The company subsequently pursued consumer electronics, with uneven success. In 2004, it merged with Emachines.

Andy Grove coins his own law
After 47 years at Intel, Andy Grove retired today at the Intel shareholders meeting, but not without a few parting shots.
After a lengthy introduction, in which the speaker citied Machiavelli, Grove asked the shareholders, "Would someone bring a resolution from the floor that Andy Grove will hereinafter be called the Prince?"
Later he announced his own technology law. "For years and years I have wanted to have a law named after me. Call it a case of Moore envy," he said. "And this is it. Technology will always win. You can delay technology by legal interference, but technology will flow around legal barriers."
Grove came to the U.S. as a refugee from Hungary (via a quick stop in Austria). After graduate school at UC Berkeley, he joined Fairchild and then Intel, as its fourth employee...

Unhappy and indebted workers
The American worker today: more disgruntled, deeper in debt.
At least thats the portrait that emerges from a couple of recent reports. The first, an essay by consultant Tony DiRomualdo, discusses a conference titled the World Congress on the Future of Work. The prevailing view of attendees at this April forum was that the workplace is not a better and more fulfilling place than it was 10 years ago, he writes.
"Today, the majority of workers still go to offices every day even though information and communications technology increasingly allows them to work from anywhere," DiRomualdo says. "They still work in facilities that are designed to minimize operating costs and preserve hierarchy and status, not inspire creativity and fuel collaboration among workers."
Among the statistics DiRo...
