At Intel Labs' annual outing, Chipzilla has announced it is investing millions in
a new social research center and explained how it plans to avoid the mistakes of researchers
in the past. The new Intel Science Technology Center is a $15m program funding five

Rather than focus on how hardware and software are used, the new center will be looking
at how human wetware interacts with the resulting data
