I was at the HP Power of Print event this month, and it got me thinking about what the perfect product would be that would showcase most of the firm’s technology; I realized they didn’t have one. On the PC side, they have the Dragonfly. On the printer side, HP’s color 3D printer likely comes […]

Intel presented a creative start to its CES keynote this year with a video that talked about computer intelligence (with the emphasis on Intel), explaining that this intelligence wasn’t like a new lightbulb; it was more like a new kind of electricity. In other words, it is less about the device and more about the […]

AMD had one of the first CES keynotes this year, and of the processor vendors AMD is arguably the most powerful in the high-performance consumer space with dominance in gaming systems (PlayStation and Xbox) and a strong position in desktop PCs, particularly those used for gaming. What makes AMD interesting and a sharp contrast with […]

NVIDIA this week announced its Recommendation Engine, which is already in widespread use by Baidu and Alibaba, increasing click-throughs by 10x and throughput by 100x. However, the real anticipated impact is in customer loyalty, revenue improvements due to higher volume, and increased advocacy.

I’m writing this from the annual Qualcomm media and analyst event in lovely Maui, Hawaii. One of the reasons the event is being held in Hawaii is that this state is apparently the most aggressive in rolling out this technology. According to Qualcomm. the U.S. is currently ahead in 5G with millimeter wave deployment; Verizon […]

As we talk about enabling and driving innovation, the recent announcement of the Tesla Truck showcases that there is one huge, glaring problem we continue to fail to recognize: People don’t like change. This seems to get worse as we age. There is a path to doing innovation right, which Apple demonstrated with the iPhone; […]

I’ve been attending a lot of briefings on sustainability, diversity and security, and one consistent problem I’m seeing is that the technology companies are getting all three wrong. For issues like this, in the current age, they shouldn’t be competing in these areas but instead cooperating. Let me walk you through what I mean. Sustainability […]

One of the most interesting initiatives for those of us who are extremely mobile was the “Always Connected PC” initiative that was a joint project between Microsoft and Qualcomm. The first generation of the products from several OEMs was strong on battery life and connectivity, but the products were painfully slow. The second generation addressed […]

This month I was at an event held by BlackBerry in the New York Stock Exchange. The opening session was between John Chen, one of my favorite CEOs, and Bryan Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America. BlackBerry had recently completed–in record time, I should add–the acquisition of Cylance, and it was clear that BofA loved […]

Earlier this week, the Cutter Consortium released an in-depth AI review reporting that most companies were deploying AI badly. Like any new—or potentially amazing new—tool, few people initially know how to use it effectively, and most are oversold on capabilities that may not be achievable with the current generation of technology. What is needed is […]
