(InfoWorld) - IntelÂ plans to announce an open-source project called LessWatts.org, which aims to improve the power efficiency of the Linux operating system and applications. The initiative is expected to be unveiled on Thursday by Renee James, corporate vice president of Intel's Software and Solutions Group, at theÂ Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. LessWatts.org has several components, including enhancements to the Linux kernel that improve power efficiency, Intel said. The project will also include PowerTOP, a tool that helps improve the power efficiency of Linux applications, and the Linux Battery Life Toolkit, which can measure the impact code changes have on power consumption, it said. Intel will also provide Linux support for the power-saving features it is building into its line of products. LessWatts.org is aimed at a range of Linux uses, from corporate data centers at the high end to small, handheld devices for consumers. Intel hopes the initiative will attract software developers, Linux vendors, and end users. Oracle, Red Hat, and Novell are expected to announce their support for the open-source initiative.

(InfoWorld) - Fujitsu'sÂ recently launched convertible ultra portable PCÂ is starting to appear outside of Japan as the company widens sales of the pocket-size device. The Lifebook U1010 went on sale in South Korea earlier this week and will be available in Hong Kong and Singapore before the end of this month. It will hit Malaysia in July. It will also appear in the U.S., but Fujitsu has not yet said when. The company has yet to decide if it will launch in Europe. The machine, unveiled in Japan in May as the U8240, is based onÂ Intel's new McCaslin ultramobile PC platform. It runs an 800MHz Stealey microprocessor and comes with a 40GB hard-disk drive. The consumer version of the machine will run Windows Vista Home Premium. It has a 5.6-inch display with 1,260 pixel by 800 pixel resolution that can be flipped around, turning the notebook into a tablet. The PC weighs 580 grams and will fit in a jacket pocket. The distance between the centers of keys on the keyboard is 14 millimeters, compared to around 19 mm on standard keyboards. Â

(InfoWorld) - Transmeta will stop offering engineering services in order to focus entirely on developing and licensing intellectual property, the Santa Clara developer of chip technologies said on Monday. The move follows aÂ restructuringÂ in early 2005 that cut its chip sales business in order to focus on engineering services and intellectual property licensing. "Over the past year, the level of activity for engineering services has declined dramatically due to the completion of programs and our customers' declining staffing requirements," said Les Crudele, president and CEO of Transmeta, during a conference call to discuss the change. "As a result, the billable time for our engineers has declined to the point that the projects are no longer sufficient to cover the costs associated with that business." On Friday, Transmeta laid off 75 employees, mostly engineers in the services business, and expects to let go another 25 to 55 people in the next few quarters. The majority of Transmeta's engineering business came from Microsoft and Sony. Last year, SonyÂ reduced its deal with TransmetaÂ and its contract ends in March. Transmeta has also completed a services contract with Microsoft on theÂ FlexGo project, a program that enables customers in developing economies to buy computers and software on a pay-as-you-go basis. Transmeta plans to retain some staff in order to support that program as it progresses past the trial phase. Transmeta also plans to close its sales and support offices in Taiwan and Tokyo. Without the drag of the engineering services business, Transmeta hopes that it can build its licensing business by attracting more customers. Currently, companies including NEC, Fujitsu, Sony. and Toshiba license technology from Transmeta. The company has been talking to chip makers outside of Japan about licensing deals but isn't ready to make any announcements yet, Crudele said.
