THE MICROPROCESSOR made software billionaire bill gates a very wealthy man. problem is the inventors of the microprocessor didn’t become wealthy until they commercialized their product and founded big companies in silicon valley. the founding of intel or hp comes to mind. the end of the 20th century finds the microprocessor ended up almost a commodity like porkbellies. microprocessor costs are down and the economy is looking good. intel decided to differentiate with the pentium processor. a few years later the pentium became one of the world’s top 10 brands. these days “valleylist” predicts the future of computing is in specialized processors. bill gates inventor of the operating system for the personal computer is the “valleylist” avatar this week. predictalot a real yahoo app – - predict the outcome of sports events. |

computers and digital devices are all dependent on microprocessors for their functionality. the latest microprocessors are designed to break the technological barrier and provide gigabytes of processing at prices as low as $100.
new processors lead the way was the first “valleylist” effort to place the microprocessor business in the high tech chain of command. as a technology based business sector it’s very hardware driven. the lack of a breakthrough computer software product is to blame. the top 10 microprocessor companies are after every customer they can get.
strategy is develop processors specialized for laptop cell phone portable and video game products. touch technology and microprocessors in consumer products suggest a future that responds to the individual.why is my food and most importantly my morning coffee us the way i like it? because the touch appliances have built-in processing and know what i like.computers require software that tells the microprocessor specifically how to handle instructions. writing machine code is not my specialty. programmers still rely on assembly language to specifically address microprocessor functional components. the operating system makes it easy for users to run consumer-ready software. most computer users never need to try to find out which bit is handling for example display screen colors. it all becomes very machine like.d.o.s. or the digital operating system became popular because it is designed as a standard to interface with any microprocessor or software. later upgraded to microsoft windows the operating system has become the world wide standard. in the meantime microprocessors get gigabyte bigger and microseconds faster every few months. “valleylist” predicts someday silicon valley will develop the internet on a chip and put the entire valley out of business. the longnow foundation predicts a different future. it’s a ”long bet”. people like warren buffett come up with ideas and get people talking money. buffett put $1 million on this “over a ten-year period commencing on january 31 2017 the s&p 500 will outperform a portfolio of funds of hedge funds when performance is measured on a basis net of fees costs and expenses.”find a prediction to challenge says the longnow foundation or make your own prediction.
“valleylist” thinks the stewart brand thinktank people at longnow are serious. most likely to happen “by 2020 bioterror or bioerror will lead to one million casualties in a single event” says martin rees in longnow predictions. involve somebody in a bet for even more prognostication avoidance fun. put up a few thousand on the odd concept that someday it’ll be a “hood” future where everybody listens to the “hood” and suppose an old willie brown concept. new jack city just didn’t work out. “valleylist” thinks bioterrorism is the real future. other than that you should put your longbet money on high tech and everybody obtaining advanced degrees. washington spends billions on specific agendas of the future from population profiles to nuclear energy and solar energy and futurology. the un focuses on the prospects for global nuclear disarmament or the demographic models for projections of social sector demand or adapting to climate variability and change or the world e-parliament report 2010. nato is focused on afghanistan and the future of peace operations or the future of the nato response force or nato needs a strategic vision to the future or nato 2020 assured security dynamic engagement. world peace enforced militarily if needed. what we’re witnessing at the longnow foundation and elsewhere is future avoidance. that leads to a situation wide open to all kinds of lunatics. while high tech is running into real limits in reaching every consumer “valleylist” thinks there is a real future out there. dump the anti-future concept entirely. it’s not worth even a moment of the government’s money. most likely to really occur is the future described in asimov’ foundation series. a future based on asimov’s real interest in science and scientific discovery. science fiction writers have opened the door to many of the world’s most important new scientific discoveries. arthur c clarke is most famous among sci fi writers for the invention of the geostationary satellite first described in the british radio magazine wireless world. in the tradition of jules verne sci fi from asimov is scientifically based and describes inventions that must occur someday in the future. asimov’s impact is felt even today in the areas of history economics and overpopulation mathematics and computers and robotics.
the problem with psychohistory as invented by asimov’s protagonist is mankind would rather skip the part where earth is destroyed. the alternate ending should include for example the world was saved by the foundation’s galactic hero only to find there are new planets to colonize. conclusion. san francisco is like stephen king’s needful things. everybody in the city is taken for a ride and wiped out. it’s the new antique store owner. obviously resembles satan. nobody can believe it. then it really happens.
i need local police and law enforcement to stop botching my deal. they don’t need to send me to the phone company people. it was early entry into the electronic publishing business. first phone company to sell electronic advertising. the “gang” wanted to do early entry into the food and event business. ok. 11 years later the foundation series is all they have going on. still playing out their scenario to try to eliminate me are tom ridge leon kreiger carl loeffler bill long john barnette firoze doctor therron abbott dave flores and ted west. the live test subject project is based on the idea that there is a need for the life of a real human being to help them figure out the food and event business. instead just eliminate everything. litterally if i worked at the phone company then the phone company [pacific bell] should be eliminated. and it was. pacific bell became sbc. then all yellow pages became a at&t conglomerate.
not even a loophole to stand on says the fcc.
in meantime it’s edit “valleylist” at the local quickly and try to read up on the foundation series. resolving facebook privacy problems leads to yet again the local police want to see if i’m stupid enough to “give it up”. the black and white money from the yahoo black and white project is in the hospital with the phone company people. if the foundation series is right it’s a police state out there. thank you again local law enforcement. all george bush wanted was a year long special project leading up to business as usual.
instead it’s a dead people lottery.
big companies like bp want to help me with my twitter project. dump all the bad people from the twitter list. come up with a new and exciting message every day. people come back every day for the latest “valleylist” message.
end result “valleylist” is picking up a lot of new business from the music and museum people. “bad d central” is so bad at business everybody is still searching for a new “d” to promote the business. that’s a lot new influential people reading “valleylist” every week. for that and many other reason “valleylist” has launched the avatar editions. anybody technically inclined enough to read “valley list” knows the “avatar” project is a special event where almost anything could happen. things really happen. let’s say it started with regis and kelly “valleylist” on interactive television.
stay tuned. send your sponsorship requests to valleylist_news@yahoo.com or the organic agency thagedor@organic.com or newbiz@organic.com. weekly sponsorship of the avatar or the weekly newsletter and any or all of the “valleylist” services now open for business.
name a weekly sponsorship number. almost any reasonable offer for a week of “valley list” considered. that’s 5 million readers a week and a lot of influence. if that’s not enough “valley list” is in touch with the dalai lama.

for more information look up “valleylist” avatars syndication version. with avatars it’s a free for all. anything could happen. anything needs to happen while waiting for the phone company legal case to finally find it’s way to court. law enforcement says go stay in with the phone company people and try to work out a deal. in fact they are so criminal and have been arrested so many times because of this situation it’s call an attorney and file charges. criminal and civil. for example this week let’s skip version numbers 124 through 126 because number 127 is on it’s way. out that is. everybody is waiting [or still waiting] for former sjpd chief robert davis to go and take his “hate crime” gang with him. that’s a bizarre business problem. all of high tech has had to put up with the ridiculous garbage from the so called “new hood”. try to describe what the future really looks like and end up fighting with the “hood” and the police everyday. that’s a bad idea. suburbanites and city-dwellers like a kid-safe environment. instead former sfpd chief heather fong and her girl person need to get away with her crime. the former chief’s objective is to shame law enforcement into giving it up to the “hood”. don’t bother. i’m busy coming up with a real future.
