Intel at Waterloo

Kurt — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 11:49:46 +0000

This year, on the yearly re-enactment of the battle of Waterloo (in Belgium), Intel had a little surprise for the visitors. On the public area, we set up 4 Intel Core i7 systems to play Napoleon Total War, a PC game from SEGA/Creative Assembly, that came out earlier this year. A game officially approved as ‘cool’ by Nerd-FM.

Ha, we figured, no better location to play a ‘virtual’ battle on a brand new PC than on a ‘real’ battle field, especially as on this re-enactment edition over 3000 re-enactors participated.

Nerds make it happen. Always!

Nerd-FM.com Short Cut Keyboard

Kurt — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:59:49 +0000

Breaking news. At CeBIT in Hall 16, a company offering ‘blanc’ keyboards that can be easily personalized started to realize the Nerd-FM excitement building up and could not resist anymore.

This is what the keyboard looked like before.

This is the adjusted version with direct short cut button to www.nerd-FM.com.

Quote “All booth visitors were asking me why there was not a direct link to the Nerd-FM website. This really started to impact my sales. I decided to include it on the keyboard and now sales are picking up again. I am already starting to run out of stock.”

We definitively wanted to share an image that just came in via mail from one of our creative Nerd-FM.com fans who was over on Wednesday. Mandy Mania hits new Nerd-FM levels! Thanks for paying solid attention in our Tech Expert corner. Your 32 nicely refers to Uli’s wafer under the microscope with the brand new Intel All New Core family which is based on 32 nanometer technology. Well done!

At the same time Mandy keeps on finding new Nerd-FM friends.

G(r)eek Dinner

Kurt — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 08:23:15 +0000

One can not survive without eating. Our first night, we went for a Greek dinner located pretty close to the fair. Next to bits and bytes, ancient culture is also high on our agenda so in the restaurant we were pleased to see a real piece of ancient art showing Socrates and Plato. Time for some nerdy education : Socrates ( 469 BC–399 BC) was a Classical Greek philosopher. Credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, he is an enigmatic figure known only through the classical accounts of his students. Plato‘s dialogues are the most comprehensive accounts of Socrates to survive from antiquity.

Then to bed. Hannover has tons of surprises. Where do you find ‘triangle’ pillows like this? We had never seen this, you? Hannover has it!

Kurt — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:34:32 +0000

BREAKING NEWS (as you’re used from us – at all times, if it’s not on Nerd-FM it’s not true or not relevant). The friends Mandy made during her first day on the booth all gathered around the Intel Extreme Masters main stage at 17:45 to celebrate a successful first CeBIT day. What a crowd.

And Mandy made it worth for her fans to come over by throwing cool goodies. Never a dull moment with Nerd-FM.
