Intel ViiV Makes Digital Media Easy

Intel announced Wednesday more than 40 entertainment content companies that will be using its new Viiv technology to offer global audiences their choice of digital media on demand and in their living rooms.

Viiv is a technology platform for PCs that can connect televisions, stereos and other consumer electronic products together into one broadband-enabled network, making it possible for all types of digital media to be shared throughout the home legally and manageably.

"This really takes digital entertainment and the PC to the next level," said Kevin Corbett, Intel's Digital Home Group vp and general manager of its Content Services Group. "It's just the beginning, but it is a real beginning. It makes it very simple for the computer to connect to the TV, and that's been one of the missing pieces."

Rise of Software-Defined LEO Satellites

From my vantage point, few areas are evolving as rapidly and with such profound implications as the space sector. For decades, satellites were essentially fixed hardware – powerful, expensive, but ultimately immutable once launched. That paradigm is undergoing a transition driven by Software-Defined Satellites (SDS). A recent market study by ABI Research underscores this transition, painting a picture of technological advancement and a fundamental reshaping of global connectivity, security, and national interests. LEO SDS Market Development The core concept behind SDS is deceptively simple yet revolutionary: decouple the satellite's capabilities from its physical hardware. Instead of launching a satellite designed for a single, fixed purpose (like broadcasting specific frequencies to a specific region), SDS allows operators to modify, upgrade, and reconfigure a satellite's functions after it's in orbit, primarily through software updates. The ABI Research report highlights ...
