Microsoft's chief engineer, Jon DeVaan made his decision that in the new year the time has come to shift focus on family, rather than work.

The internet is a blaze with articles about what is supposed to be a picture of a Haswell-E engineering sample CPU. The image popped up over at VR-Zone and got everyone all excited about news of the next top-end CP from Intel. We were interested and decided to take a look at this image ourselves. What we saw did not impress us at all and immediately had us wondering if it was a fake.

Even though Advanced Micro Devices announced last year that they will cut 10% of their workers by the end of 2012's first quarter, things are even worse now. After they announced that expected sales will decrease approximately 10% from the last quarter, they are expected to announce in increase to the number of workers cut to go up to 30% because of weak sales. Rumors are that AMD plans  to announce the workforce cuts between 20% and 30% next week, and it will focus on jobs involving sales and engineering.
