Week in review for Sept. 13 Where computing goes from here was the big focus of the week, as Intel outlined a number of new initatives at IDF, as highlighted by our coverage at PC Magazine (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1644852,00.asp) eWEEK (http://www.eweek.com/category2/0,1738,1269719,00.asp), and ExtremeTech (http://extremetech.com/category2/0,1556,489239,00.asp). Meanwhile, Oracle won a major battle in its Peoplesoft case, with a District Court ruling its proposed takeover of Peoplesoft would not violate antitrust laws (http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1644854,00.asp). Analysts say the company will likely raise its offer, but that the fight will continue (http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1644614,00.asp). Finally, there are worries about a new virus outbreak (http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1644713,00.asp) though that seems to be a continuing threat.
