OB@IDF in San Jose

The Intel Developer Forum opens today at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California. This is where I'm spending the week, along with several thousand delegates and about 450 journalists from all over the world. The hotel has its own Wi-Fi wieless LAN so you can surf from the lobby, but I'm using Intel's network, set up for the conference. (I'm told it also supports 802.11a but my Cisco card is 802.11b.) Briefings start at 9.30am, ie about 45 minutes from now, local time. Other Brits spotted so far include Mike Magee (The Inquirer, formerly of The Register) and Rupert Goodwins (ZDNet). Ziff UK's special PDF report, linked from its front page, is for the February conference.
