NICHE CAPICHE

Bah, buh-bah-buh-bah. That five syllable jingle is probably the only thing you'd be able to recognise from computer chip giant Intel. That and their Pentium 1000 Core Processors, a sticker slapped on your computer to inform you that you're the proud owner of one even though you're not actually sure what they do.

Being pioneers in computer chip technology, Intel have had their fair share of innovations through the years. To celebrate the people at Intel have opened their photographic archives documenting motherboards to lab-coat miniskirts and everything in between.

The collection makes for some great viewing as a social commentary of the times. We especially like the hippy-eque peace adorned lab-coat and the behind-the-scenes look at the development of one of today's most important pieces of equipment - the computer.
