An Exclusive Look Inside Intel
In late May Intel invited a group of women bloggers to visit their headquarters in Silicon Valley to participate in their Intel "Upgrade Your Life" event. As Sarah Anderson, of the Chip Chick Web site writes:
Needless to say, it was an incredible experience on many fronts. We got to take an up close and personal look at the latest mobile products powered by Intel processors. We also got to take a sneak peak at some of the innovative technologies that Intel is currently researching, consider it a glimpse at what the future has in store for all of us. We also got to meet with many of the women who actually work at Intel. It was awesome to meet these very forward thinking women who are instrumental in shaping and influencing Intel's vision.
