Intel launch "Penryn"
As a Cornish based company, we were tickled to see that Intels new family of 45 nanometer chips have been developed under the codename of "Penryn". For those readers unfamiliar with the geography of the south west UK, Penryn happens to be a (very) small market town about 10 miles from our offices here at Neutralize. Indeed our newly recruited SEM Project Manager lives in Penryn...
I'm not sure if anyone in the Intel new product development office has Cornish connections, but we're getting straight on the phone to our friends who run Penryn based sites to see if they have noticed a sudden spike in Google referrals....
I reckon it'll put Penryn on the map in the short term, then slowly do some serious damage as Intel related pages start pushing all the Cornish ones out of the SERPs, the Registers Hardware section 'reghardware' has already crept in. Any hope of getting a Penryn town related release in Google news this year seems to have already disappeared. It'll be interesting to see how Googles contextual matching and personalisation features handle it.

Yeah I imagine anyone wanting to rank on Penryn is going to have fun.
Hope theirs no local computer shops they don't stand a chance!
