Technology fails at Intel

Printer drivers down, net down, pix of i820s up

The press room at the Intel Developer Forum is a model of efficiency, by and large. The first morning we logged into our system, everything worked perfectly. But some wag had made the picture of the i820 chip we ran last week the default background. We can assure you it was not us. Next day, we tried to print out Intel's plans for Russian journalists but the printer driver seemed to have disappeared, totally. Then an Intel spin paramedic started harassing us about the interviews we were supposed to have first thing...It's really good fun here, you know. ®
