Already the performance leader in desktop processing, Intel is following its quad-core Bloomfield design up with Gulftown, a hexa-core design sporting 12MB of shared L3 cache. Is the lone Gulftown model, Core i7-980X Extreme, worth a $1,000 asking price?

The BlackBerry App Planet developer stand was bustling with people yesterday. While I'm sure that yesterday's announcements and the BlackBerry developer experts on hand were the main draw, I can't help but feel that our little LEGO robot friend played a part. Nicknamed "Johny 5", our motorized companion - controlled by a BlackBerry Storm2 smartphone ? entertained the crowd outside the stand and tried not to get into too much trouble. Click the link below to see another video on how "Johny 5" is controlled, as well as a slideshow outlining how the robots and courses were built for the Developer Day Robot Challenge at the BlackBerry Developer Conference in November.
