Mobile workstations, much like dedicated game-based laptops, tend to be large, heavy and expensive. They are generally defined by battery life measured in minutes. This is likely to remain the case in the future for those who demand performance in line with desktop workstations, but technology advancements, particularly in graphics, have allowed for the emergence […]

At this week’s Microsoft Inspire conference in Las Vegas, the company announced some impressive improvements to my new favorite browser, the Chromium version of Edge. I’ve become a huge fan of the new Chromium version of the Microsoft Edge browser, which is still in beta test. The reason is that I really missed the one […]

Dell’s XPS line has gone through a lot of changes over the years from being the company’s premier gaming platform to what it is now a high-end bridge between consumer and business lines.

While reading one of the most interesting books on the early days of Silicon Valley last month on 3COM (“3COM Story”), the part that struck me was how Cisco Systems rapidly overcame a competitor that was a rare dragon of Silicon Valley.

One of the recurring cycles in technology is that when a new problem comes up, existing technology is initially used to try to address it, but eventually something purpose-built comes about that performs significantly better.

Typically, I’m not a fan of Computex, because there isn’t that much going on at that show.

Microsoft this week announced it has ported its new Edge Chromium based browser to the MacOS, and I think this is huge. I’ve been using Microsoft browsers since they licensed its first Internet Explorer from Spyglass, and let’s just say that initial effort was raw–but so was the entire Internet. The IT world was different […]

At Lenovo Accelerate this past week, the company announced the first foldable screen notebook, advancements in notebook covers, an automated privacy screen and one other interesting trend—or soon to be trend—that wasn’t as obvious. Let me explain. Foldable Device Of course, the biggest and most obvious part of this announcement was the OLED foldable screen. […]

Microsoft is hell-bent on trying to change the world.  There is an old saying that if all you build is hammers, everything looks like a nail. But in this case, everything is a “nail,” because virtually anything that even tries to act automatically–and especially autonomously–defines what it can do with software. Archimedes said something to […]

I’m at Dell Technology World in Las Vegas this week, and one of the more interesting meetings I had was with one of its security firms, SecureWorks. Last week I was at BlackBerry’s analyst event, and it was interesting to contrast the two offerings. Cylance is a security company now owned by BlackBerry, and both […]
