Intel decides to follow along after AMD's success in adding 64-bit support to the x86 instruction set that Intel invented. Without AMD, we'd all be paying way more for chips, plus we'd all be buying Itaniums whether we wanted them or not. Thanks AMD. Thanks capitalism.
In general, I love Eric Sink, so it’s a surprise when there’s something he’s written that I haven’t seen. In particular, at the bottom of his Geek Guantlet (which is nice all by itself), there’s an addendum called Top Eight List: Clues that You Might be a Geek. My favorite:

Kenny Lim posted an article about Visual Trees in Avalon that was down right inspirational. In fact, I spent all morning building a little app that will dump the <VisualTree> portion of a <Style> so that when you're customizing the visual tree of an existing control, you have some place from which to start. As soon as I figure out how to get property aliasing and data binding info at run-time, I'll post my app for real but the current version is available here for the adventurous.
