Intel announced some really big news today. On par with Centrino and Viiv. But I really haven’t heard much more than a peep about it in the blogosphere. So, I’m conducting an experiment:
Who can tell me what it is?
Post your guess, and a link to where you first heard about it in the comments. No fair looking at the existing comments or Googling - you’re on your honor. If this works out, I’ll do a random selection from among the correct answers, and you may win a little something.
Oh, the value of the “something” will be no more than $25, and Intel employees (who had BETTER know what the answer is! ;-)) are ineligible. Contest rules subject to my mood and whim. All disclaimers apply, etc.
I’m gonna guess it’s the vPro branding. I read up on it over here.

You mean this, Josh?

I have to disqualify myself for being unable to resist the temptation to search for the answer.
That would be vPro, Intels answer to Apple’s i apps. The Viiv and vPro platforms.

I have to admit, I had no clue (though I applaud you for making me dig to find the answer). This is actually pretty big news, why no bigger splash with vPro announcement?
If a product is announced in the forest, but nobody notices, can it really be considered big news?
vPro is the only thing I can think of that i’ve heard about down the pipeline.
vPro. Engadget.
