It was a comedic yet...
Intel on Tuesday demonstrated the first chip based on its Larrabee architecture for graphics-centric coprocessors.

But i...
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has determined who will get the vaccine for the H1N1 flu virus in the event of a shortage, but the priority groups don't line up well with the groups most likely to die from the disease.
