(Not Your Mother’s) Black Friday Edition

Fish Fry - November 26, 2010

In my special Black Friday Fish Fry this week, I talk about what exactly merits a Black Friday “special edition”, the peanut butter and chocolate combo that is the Intel/Altera E600C collaboration, Xilinx’s 28Gbps transceivers and Digi-Key’s redesigned booth for electronica 2010. Oh and there’s a nerdy giveaway at the end!

Join me for this week’s news wrap-up with my spin on the high-tech news of the week…

If you like the idea of this new series, be sure and drop a comment in the box below. I appreciate all of the comments submitted so far and we are working on implementing as many as we can.

If you don’t like it, please send your comments to spam@techfocusmedia.com. I’ll get to them right after I refinance my house, refill my online prescriptions, and help out that friendly Nigerian banker that keeps e-mailing me.

OK, seriously – all comments are welcome. We’ll be working to enhance the FishFry each week – as long as you’re watching.
