Intel kicked off its Developer Forum with a demo of a 2 GHz Pentium 4 chip. The chip giant showed off a 1.5 GHz chip with its clock speed raised to 2 GHz. The chip was air cooled without any special cooling technology. A 1.4 GHz P4 was also demonstrated. The new chip allowed for higher frame rates in video and more realistic 3D images. Intel also touched on its upcoming Itanium chip, showing off an Itanium server cluster, running on Linux. NEW BROWSER MIXES MOZILLA AND IE
The new open-source K-Meleon browser is a cross between Microsoft IE and Mozilla's "Gecko" rendering engine. Including installer, the full K-Meleon package is a mere 2.85 Mb. K-Meleon features the Gecko rendering engine developed by the Mozilla.org team. Gecko speeds up the display of Web pages. K-Meleon also sports the Internet Explorer bookmarking system and mimics the IE Microsoft Foundation Class interface "as much as possible." DRKOOP.COM RESUCITATED
Online health-care site drkoop.com received a much-needed cash infusion in order to stay alive. The company received an investment package worth $20 million from Prime Ventures, JF Shea Ventures, Cramer-Rosenthal-McGlynn, Inc. and RMC Capital. Dr. C. Everett Koop will remain as the chairman of the company. Drkoop.com was one of the early victims of the "tech wreck," plagued by a cash shortage and class-action suits.
