    • My PC is probably a lot like yours. It takes about two and a half minutes to boot, an eternity to most people. Here are ideas for improving boot up delays in your designs.

    • What makes semiconductor manufacturing so different.

    • Intel's move to give up on its x86 processor line is the end of an era.

    • What has 250 million transistors and nine processors? It's IBM, Sony, and Toshiba's Cell processor. Here's how the hardware works and what makes it special.

    • There's nothing quite like a new perspective. The May issue of Embedded Systems Design magazine is full of articles about "thinking different," right-brained reasoning and getting different perspectives on old engineering problems. Even though engineering is usually characterized as methodical, procedural and a bit unoriginal, it's good to think outside the proverbial box from time to time. </P>

    • The Essential Guide to Semiconductors is a complete professional's guide to the business and technology of semiconductor design and manufacturing. This chapter provides an overview of the old- and new-style design processes, verifying the design works, using outside IP, getting to tape out and film, and current problems and future trends.

    • We've all heard the joke about the PC user who mistakes his CD-ROM drive for a cup holder. Although sometimes our customers seem to be more trouble than they're worth, they aren't as stupid as they seem.

    • Here's the fourth installment of our large-scale survey of embedded systems developers from around the world. This month we look at a variety of custom chips: programmable, customizable, and hard-wired. The use of custom chips is on the rise, but the type of chip varies by industry.

    • "Automotive electronics" would have been an oxymoron just a few decades ago. Now even low-cost cars are loaded with processors, more than most race cars.

    • Our monthly installments of the embedded survey results have been very popular, which is a good thing--until someone spots a mistake. In this case, it was a particularly vexing and embarrassing one.
