At the recently concluded Intel Developer’s Forum (IDF), Intel launched its next-generation of digital home platform called VIIV.

According to Intel, its latest digital brand is pronounced as "vīv" and rhymes with "five" which takes care of showing that this is the next level from the Pentium 4 platform. The naming was either brilliant or a fluke (or both). Read on at
