Intel, NVIDIA Follow AMD, Roll Out Most Powerful Gaming Notebooks

It seems like the laptop players suddenly have realized that, with almost all professional sports canceled, there is a sudden massive opportunity for gaming notebooks, so people stuck at home can safely compete. I’m wondering how many professional athletes have turned into couch potatoes and are learning that the geeks they used to make fun […]

How 5G+AI+AR Will Create Next-Gen Protection Against Pandemics

I was on a call with Qualcomm today, and they were covering the advantages of the AI capabilities in their 5G solutions coming to the market. Much of the message focused on how this distributed intelligence, when tied to similar advancements with carrier equipment, would massively improve the quality and reliability of our cell phone […]

Asus Zephyrus G14: Coolest New ‘Sleeper’ AMD Gaming Laptop

Chances are that you, like me, are stuck at home for the time being and are looking for ways to fill the time you used to use for outdoor events, going out to the movies, going out to dinner, hanging out with friends in person and just leading a normal social life. Now your choices […]

COVID-19, Glue, Avatars and Moving to a Virtual Office Standard

I recently had a demo of a new collaboration product called Glue, which uses virtualized avatars in virtual rooms as a way to get around having to attend meetings physically.

With the Covid-19 virus spreading at alarming rates, every conference between now and June has either been canceled or postponed.

Many of these events are in the process of converting […]

Dell Latitude 7400: Amazing Laptop, but Only in the Right Configuration

The Dell Latitude 7400 is Dell’s premium laptop for business and a technological showcase. But it comes in several configurations depending on needs. I’m writing this on the second 7400 I’ve received; the first one had a lot of features I didn’t need and traded off those unneeded features for battery life. I find that […]

How IBM’s Partnerships Could Again Transform Personal Tech Landscape

I spent this week at IBM’s Strategic Partnerships Analyst Summit, and it was particularly fascinating for me. One of the many projects I’d had while working at IBM was to help fix its Partnership Program, and I wasn’t very successful. That was because IBM, at the time, was a closed shop; it didn’t partner well. […]

How Successful Companies Set Up a Succession of Leaders

By “set up,” I don’t mean a bad thing, but it struck me that we often point to a departing CEO as bad and the incoming CEO as good. This is often done for good reason, for out of the thousands of CEOs replaced every year a significant number have been losing their jobs for […]

Why Falcon Talon Threadripper Desktop Is an Amazing PC

I have a new desktop computer, and it is AWESOME! This week I replaced my AMD Ryzen 9 machine that I’d rebuilt and massively water-cooled only to have it bleed blue coolant and turn my office floor into what appeared to be a surf murder scene with a new Falcon Talon gaming system. I’ve been […]
