Why Is The Modem Still The Unsung Hero Of Mobility?

Why Is The Modem Still The Unsung Hero Of Mobility?
by Patrick Moorhead on 07-17-2016 at 12:00 pm

The unsung hero of the mobile world is not the CPU, it isn’t the GPU, it isn’t even the memory. All of those components have grown extremely quickly in recent years in terms of processing capability, capacity and the ability to shrink thanks to improvements in process technology. The CPU and the GPU seem to get all the accolades, too.… Read More


Microsoft Raises The Mixed Reality Bar Yet Again With New Holographic Platform

Microsoft Raises The Mixed Reality Bar Yet Again With New Holographic Platform
by Patrick Moorhead on 07-15-2016 at 7:00 am

There have been many hardware and software developments over the past 18 months in the worlds of AR and VR. However, most of them solely existed only within the separate realms of AR or VR. Many within the industry, including I, eventually see VR and AR merging into some hybrid reality that fluidly moves between the two. Some companies… Read More


APP ADD Will Cause the Next Tech Bust, Absolutely!

APP ADD Will Cause the Next Tech Bust, Absolutely!
by Daniel Nenni on 07-12-2016 at 7:00 pm

After playing Pokemon Go with my nephew this weekend I have another solid data point to support my hypothesis that we are in yet another tech boom. Let’s call it fad based investors jousting with unicorns. Think dotcom bubble of 2000. What drove the dotcom bubble? Cheap money, magical valuations, market overconfidence, and a good… Read More


Hacking Your Way Across the Chasm

Hacking Your Way Across the Chasm
by Michael Tanner on 07-10-2016 at 7:00 am

Geoffrey Moore’s “Crossing the Chasm” remains one of the most useful and widely read business books within the high-technology business. I say this not only because I spent a decade of my life working with Geoffrey and the rest of The Chasm Group as a consultant, but also because to this day, I have yet to find another book that is so … Read More


Emerging Disruptions from Blockchain

Emerging Disruptions from Blockchain
by Raman Chitkara on 07-04-2016 at 4:00 pm

For several years, Bitcoin has captured headlines not only for becoming the leading digital currency, but also for wild fluctuations in its value. Will Bitcoin succeed? The jury’s still out. But now the underlying technology – an encrypted, distributed digital ledger called blockchain – is riding a wave of adoption for many new… Read More


Obama’s greatest legacy may be the global entrepreneurship he sparked

Obama’s greatest legacy may be the global entrepreneurship he sparked
by Vivek Wadhwa on 07-03-2016 at 12:00 pm

It is rare to go to a government event, especially where political leaders are speaking, in which you can stay awake or be truly inspired. Indeed, I had very low expectations of President Obama’s Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES), which was held at Stanford University last week. I thought it would be nothing more than a publicity… Read More


The amazing artificial intelligence we were promised is coming, finally

The amazing artificial intelligence we were promised is coming, finally
by Vivek Wadhwa on 06-27-2016 at 8:00 pm

We have been hearing predictions for decades of a takeover of the world by artificial intelligence. In 1957, Herbert A. Simon predicted that within 10 years a digital computer would be the world’s chess champion. That didn’t happen until 1996. And despite Marvin Minsky’s 1970 prediction that “in from three to eight years we will… Read More


Getting Maximum Performance Bang for Your Buck through Parallelism

Getting Maximum Performance Bang for Your Buck through Parallelism
by Bernard Murphy on 06-26-2016 at 12:00 pm

Finding a way to optimally parallelize linear code for multi-processor platforms has been a holy grail of computer science for many years. The challenge is that we think linearly and design algorithms in the same way, but then want to speed up our analysis by adding parallelism to the algorithms we have already designed.

But the … Read More


Democracy is a great thing, except in the workplace

Democracy is a great thing, except in the workplace
by Vivek Wadhwa on 06-19-2016 at 7:00 am

“The Soviet Union I left behind was a dictatorship but the workplace was a democracy; America may be free but the workplace is a dictatorship” said Len Erlikh after I hired him at First Boston (now Credit Suisse First Boston) in 1986. Being of the Jewish faith, he had fled the U.S.S.R.’s religious persecution.

Erlikh’s words have … Read More


How crowdfunding can help save Silicon Valley from its harebrained investors

How crowdfunding can help save Silicon Valley from its harebrained investors
by Vivek Wadhwa on 06-10-2016 at 7:00 am

There are fears that another Ice Age is about to hit Silicon Valley because of the implosion of its unicorns — start-ups valued at more than one billion dollars. By one estimate there were 229 such companies in January of this year. Their valuations are dropping precipitously because they were overpriced and overhyped. The fear … Read More
