The chipmaker is jumping on the HTML5 bandwagon -- sort of. Its newly acquired AppMobi software lets programmers create Web apps that can be converted into native Android and iOS apps.

Intel's XDK software, which the chipmaker got through its acquisition of AppMobi, is now available under the Intel name. It lets people use Web-app tools to create software that runs on mobile devices.

Intel has released its first version of Web-based programming tools to help developers make mobile apps for Android and iOS.

The free software, called Intel XDK, isn't brand new. It's a rebadged version of the AppMobi software that Intel acquired in February. XDK lets people create software that uses the so-called HTML5 foundation, a collection of standards designed to advance the Web beyond static documents toward dynamic applications, then convert those apps so they can be used on mobile devices.

Intel announced the XDK release at its Intel Developer Forum show in Beijing this week. The software is free, but uses and requires people to use Google's Chrome browser.

It may sound peculiar for Intel to give away programming tools, but it's got a long history of trying to help programmers write the software that ultimately will mean Intel processors will have something to do. The AppMobi technology brings a cross-platform approach to the chore so programmers can reach a broader market.

Historically, Intel developer tools have been lower-level offerings designed for programming software that runs natively on chips, but the cross-platform XDK employs the abstraction of the Web. That means, at least in principle, that software runs on any type of chip as long as there's a browser engine to execute the code.

Why might Intel be interested in fostering software that runs on any old chip, not just its own x86 models? One reason: in the mobile realm, ARM chips rule and Intel is the challenger. Writing Web apps means software runs on anyone's chips, not just on ARM chips.

Updated at 8:20 a.m. PT to fix the name of the software.

SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

MSC Software Corporation, the leader in multidiscipline simulation solutions that accelerate product innovation, today announced that Jean-Louis Migeot, CEO of Free Field Technologies (a wholly owned subsidiary of MSC Software) and Professor of Acoustics at the Brussels Free University, has been elected as Chairman of the Belgian Royal Academy of Science, Arts and Humanities through 2014.

The Academy, founded by Empress Maria-Theresa in 1769, sixty years before Belgium was eventually founded as a state in 1830, is made of four sections: the Science section assembles the most distinguished Belgian specialists of all fields of science (physics, chemistry, geology, biology, mathematics); members of the Humanities section are chosen among Belgium's best philosophers, historians, sociologists, and psychologists while the Arts section includes some of Belgium's most respected painters, sculptors, musicians and choreographers. The Technology and Society section is chiefly made of engineers, economists and entrepreneurs. Dr. Migeot also serves as Director of the Technology & Society section. Each section consists of 50 members selected by their peers; members are elected for life.

The election of Dr. Migeot to the Academy was in recognition of the innovative work done at Free Field Technologies (FFT) in the field of computational acoustics and of the success of FFT as a high-tech Small and Medium Enterprise (SME). The appointment as Director of his section and President of the Academy in 2010 reflects his engagement in support of science, education and culture and his willingness to give the Academy a leading role in shaping Belgium's public policy in these fields.

Leonard Pitts Tribune Media

Dear Barry: Ordinarily, Id address you as Mr. Obama or Mr. President, in deference to your office. But we need to have us a guy-to-guy chat here, so I hope youll excuse the familiarity, because I just have to ask: Barry, brotherman, bubbeleh, what the heck were you thinking? Did you really call California Attorney General Kamala Harris, by far the best-looking attorney general in the country last week at a Democratic fundraiser in the Bay Area? You werent, like, nursing a cold and snockered on Robitussin or something? You didnt lose a bet with Joe Biden? You actually said that, of your own free will? Dude. Wow. Yes, MSNBC helpfully reminds us that youve also complimented men on their looks, dubbing Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Shaun Donovan, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and the entire Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team good-looking guys. Want to know how much that helps you here? Whats the smallest measurable fraction this side of zero? A man, particularly a powerful man, cannot always speak of or to a woman, as he would one of the fellas. This is what you forgot and what the folks who keep saying it was just a compliment dont quite get. Is that a double standard? Yes. You darn betcha. A certain columnist who happens to be my mothers oldest son has, in years past, identified this as something he calls the Goliath Principle, after Wilt Chamberlains famous observation that nobody roots for Goliath. The Principle holds that, wherever there is an imbalance of power -- white vs. black, boss vs. employee, big guy vs. small, man vs. woman -- a double standard is an automatic and inevitable byproduct. As nobody roots for Goliath, so are those with more power always constrained in the things our unwritten societal rules allow them to say or do to those who have less. The maid who snaps at her boss is cheeky; the boss who snaps at her maid is overbearing. The small man who hits the big one is brave (or suicidal). The big man who hits the small one is a bully. And the woman who compliments her male bosss looks might be a kiss up or a flirt, but the male boss who does the reverse is a letch or a creep or, at the very least, the embodiment of sexism that imprisons a womans entirety behind miscellaneous physical attributes given by God and enhanced by Max Factor. But a woman is more than her looks. This is a truth we heterosexual men tend to stumble on. Years ago, a woman colleague asked me about famous women I found attractive. Stupidly, I began to reel off a list. It included Marina Sirtis, whom I called an extraordinary woman. My colleague flexed an eyebrow and asked what made her extraordinary. And I was majorly busted, man, because I knew next to nothing about the Star Trek: The Next Generation star -- certainly nothing that would make her extraordinary -- except that shes gorgeous and becomes more so when she wears her Counselor Troi contact lenses, the ones that turn her eyes into dark, liquid pools of compassion and you gaze into them and feel yourself falling in and know there is nothing you wouldnt tell her, no secret you wouldnt ... um ... wouldnt... What were we talking about again? Oh yeah. Women and their looks and the fact that the smart man avoids discussion of same. Especially if he presides over a Cabinet whose gender diversity is comparable to that of the club that meets in Bart Simpsons treehouse. Nor is political embarrassment your only worry. The same day you praised Harris looks, the first lady had a faux pas of her own. She called herself a single mother. Im thinking it was no accident. So, Barry, guy to guy, I leave you with this: Citiflowers is a florist near the White House. Theyre open till 6 and take all major credit cards.
