It's money that'll create more money, they're not giving it away for free or something...

Not sure ho thats even correcnt when the Core 2 lineup has been put to bed a long time ago. And while the SB arch has roots in Core, its not the same thing and took billions of R&D to create and is still currently the best option.

And of course Intel will make money. You have to spend money to make money and Intel spends billions a year.

'Software tools and services companies can apply for funding to create "innovative applications and digital content for the mobile and PC ecosystem" that are offered for download via the AppUp service.'

...Yeah; where is that?!? I just spent 10 minutes on the linked website, and I can't find any such application. It it's there, it's pretty well-hidden.

Oh yeah, I tried Appup when they had the free Angry Birds thing, quickly got tired of it, and uninstalled both.
