Intel Unveils Both Real and Virtual Motorcycles

In its latest publicity stunt, chip giant Intel unveiled two motorcycles: One real, loaded with Intel chips, and one virtual, in the multiplayer game "Second Life." To highlight 30 years in the embedded chip business, Intel showed off serious hardware in the form of a CUSTOM-BUILT MOTORCYCLE (built by Orange County Choppers) with computerized controls and features that protect the computing system from moisture, dirt, shock and vibration. The hawg's computerized dashboard doubles as a mobile PC, and displays showing camera video replace rear-view mirrors. I want one.

You can build and own your own Intel Chopper in Second Life: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Intel%20Ignites%20OCC/

Working with OCC and Intel, we constructed an experience where you can assemble and ride your very own.
