<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Columbia Pictures)Its fortunes didn't fare quite so well as the company it was based on: &quot;The Social Network,&quot; a controversial recounting of the origins of Facebook, did not win the Oscar for Best Picture at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards tonight. As many had been expecting, the award went instead to historical drama &quot;The King's Speech.&quot;&quot;The Social Network&quot; also failed to win Best Director (that also went to &quot;The King's Speech&quot;), Best Cinematography, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Actor, where Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg fell in favor of &quot;King's Speech&quot; lead actor Colin Firth. In the Best Actor category, Eisenberg had not been expected to win (in addition to Firth, he was up against the likes of Jeff Bridges and Javier Bardem), but director David Fincher had had a good shot at Best Director and the film was widely considered the front-runner for Best Picture until buzz about &quot;The King's Speech&quot; started to escalate.The Fincher-directed film did, however, win Best Film Editing, Best Original Score for the music written by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, and Best Screenplay Adaptation for Aaron Sorkin's acclaimed script.The hype surrounding &quot;The Social Network&quot; had hit a fever pitch in the weeks before its release, and some critics say that it reached a point of overhype that ultimately made it a less palatable choice for the voters in the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Some pundits also said that alleged factual inaccuracies--Facebook has decried its portrayal of Zuckerberg as a mean-spirited, near-pathological manipulator of human social connections--may have hurt its chances with the Academy.That said, &quot;The King's Speech&quot; was also hit by some claims of twisted history.Facebook initially fought against the unauthorized &quot;The Social Network&quot; (and the book it was based on, Ben Mezrich's &quot;The Accidental Billionaires&quot;). But as its release date grew closer, the company changed its tune and said that while Facebook still considered the film &quot;fiction,&quot; that it was an entertaining piece of cinema--Zuckerberg himself has said that he hoped it would inspire young people to pursue careers in computer science, and as a surprise prank appeared alongside Eisenberg in an episode of &quot;Saturday Night Live.&quot;<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Intel said that one of its most important executives of the past decade, Anand Chandrasekher, has resigned from the company. He led the company&amp;'s efforts in creating the low-cost Atom microprocessor and in creating the Centrino mobile chip platform for laptops.It&amp;'s not clear exactly what the shuffling means. It could be that Intel didn&amp;'t make enough headway in getting its chips into smartphones and tablets. Intel has been losing ground to rivals who make ARM-based microprocessors for mobile devices. Intel said Chandrasekher left to pursue other opportunities and his departure is not related to the performance of the group.Chandrasekher will be replaced by Mike Bell and Dave Whalen, who will run the Atom business together under the Intel Ultra Mobility Group. David Perlmutter, executive vice president of Intel, said in a statement that Intel remains committed to the Atom business and will invest to ensure that Intel chips deliver a great user experience on smartphones and handhelds. He said a phone will ship this year with Intel chips.Atom was considered a favorite early on as Intel collided with ARM, coming down from the PC market into smartphones while ARM grew up from feature phones. But Apple has shifted its mobile devices to its own ARM-based chips. Plus, Intel&amp;'s alliance with Nokia over the MeeGo mobile operating system doesn&amp;'t look so hot these days, as Nokia is under new management and has shifted to Microsoft&amp;'s Windows Phone 7 operating system, which can run on ARM chips. Also, ARM chips from companies such as Nvidia are now expected to run future versions of the Windows desktop software. That will likely lead to a loss of market share for Intel.The Atom chip has done well in low-end laptops and in netbooks, but netbooks are starting to lose ground against both smartphones and tablets. Chandrasekher, a 24-year Intel veteran, was once the technical assistant to former chief executive Craig Barrett. Chandrasekher rose through the ranks and headed the mobile efforts as Intel made its big push with Centrino, which was its first effort to produce low-power microprocessors for laptops.Nathan Brookwood, an analyst at Insight 64, said he once thought that Chandrasekher had a shot to succeed Paul Otellini as CEO. But the lack of visible progress with the Ultra Mobility Group may have stymied that chance. He said he expects Chandrasekher to emerge in a prominent role somewhere else.Next Story: Firefox 4 available now, a day before official release Previous Story: Netflix confirms deal to launch Kevin Spacey series via video streamingPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Moblin, smartphones, tabletsCompanies: Arm, Intel, Microsoft, nokiaPeople: Anand Chandrasekher, Craig Barrett, Dave Whalen, Mike Bell          Tags: Moblin, smartphones, tabletsCompanies: Arm, Intel, Microsoft, nokiaPeople: Anand Chandrasekher, Craig Barrett, Dave Whalen, Mike BellDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.
