 There is an interesting article in Popular Mechanics this month that talks about the relationship between Quantum Mechanics and human logic trees.  Deep Learning AI models just haven’t been that good at predicting human behavior, let alone emulating it.  Computers, regardless of speed, tend to think linearly, and humans don’t.  It isn’t just the physical […]

IBM is a patent generating powerhouse.  A record number of patents, 9,262, was awarded to the company in 2019.  This number is  the most patents ever awarded to a US company and IBM has led in the patent race in the US for 27 consecutive years.  In patents, IBM is nearly a force of nature. […]

You’d think that given the acronym “CES” stands for “Consumer” Electronics Show, it would be about products that you and I would buy for ourselves and families, but, increasingly, that isn’t the case.  Much of what is at this show now actually targets large corporate buyers with showcases on commercial flying cars, autonomous driving technology […]

One of the things that has differentiated Intel in the AI space is that while their CPU technology is strong for inferencing, it wasn’t good for training.  And, without training, getting optimal inferencing performance can be problematic.  However, break out firms like Deep Instinct, the firm HP is partnered with for next-generation AV, have shown […]

I was at the Qualcomm Technology Summit in Hawaii this week and the advances in performance, connectivity, security, and Extended Reality (XR) got me thinking that we are at an infliction point. We could merge and redesign both the PC and Smartphone into something new that is both more productive and safer.  This last came […]

This month I spent some time going over Lenovo’s rich product set and I was again reminded of the dramatic difference between how Lenovo, and most OEMs, differ in strategy from Apple.  Apple’s approach seems to be, based on valuation, far more lucrative but it does have some severe risks which are starting to emerge […]

The Dell Technology Summit was this week, and the most interesting product launched at the event was the new Dell PowerOne server. This offering reminded me of the successful EMC VCE hyper-converged offering of some years back. That model set records in terms of deployment speed, capability, and ease of management but targeted at more […]

This week it was announced that Xerox wants to buy HP and is putting together a package to make it happen. On paper this looks like a good idea.  Two iconic brands with similar cultures coming together in a market that has struggled to show growth, while Xerox is trading high and HP is trading […]

Facebook has a serious problem in that they were seen as being part of what may have been a successful attempt to change the outcome of the last election. The amount of false information being exchanged on this social media service is resulting in governments thinking about regulating or even breaking up the company. Facebook […]

There is a huge push right now to drive the concept of Edge Computing for IoT devices. The idea is that the more computing power you put in the edge device, the lower the amount of data that, in theory, will need to come from it.  Now this made a lot of sense before 5G, […]
