Intel Steers Aggressive Course While Apple Appears Rudderless

Last week was kind of amazing — I knew a number of things that were going to be happening at IDF but was blindsided by an announcement Intel made that could change the world as we know it. Nikola Tesla turned over in his grave, and we are one step closer to his Tower of Power. Intel also fleshed out its Atom platform, which I think forms the basis of a new class of cloud computing-based client devices. Apple, on the other hand, appears rudderless all of a sudden. The new iPhone — recall I suggested you avoid this product — is having a massive number of problems.
