CES, the international consumer electronics show conducted every January in Las Vegas, is easier to hate than it is to love. Hype drowns out substance. Innovative and interesting products are easily overshadowed by rooms literally full of craptastic junk. Travel/logistics can be a nightmare -- esp...
Intel CEO Paul Otellini will retire in May, ending an eight-year reign as the semiconductor industry undergoes a major market transition. Intel did not announce his successor, but said Otellini will oversee the upcoming six-month leadership transition. The company highlighted the bright spots in Ote...
The success of ARM-based processors in mobile phones and tablets has had a tectonic effect across numerous IT markets, but one of their most intriguing opportunities is in data centers. It seems contradictory that a CPU architecture designed for power efficiency and lightweight applications would...
Technologically inclined businesses and other organizations have long enjoyed what I call IT "trickle down": Continuing, rapid development results in the mainstreaming of hardware, software and services that were originally unthinkably expensive and specialized. This doesn't mean that higher-end ...
The tech industry loves the concept of new innovation to the point where product launches all too often call to mind infatuated elders showing off photos of their latest grandkids. But practicality tends to drive the manufacturing side of the IT business, with consistency trumping innovation. As a r...
The CES we have grown to love is ending. Not sure CES realizes it yet. If you are like me, you both love and hate this time of year. Love it because this is the time of year when the Consumer Electronics Show comes to Las Vegas. Hate it for the same reason. We haven't even recovered from the holiday...
Last week, Calxeda launched its ARM-based "EnergyCore" Server on a Chip, which the company said consumes as little as 1.5 watts -- the first server CPU to achieve this milestone. This makes EnergyCore ideal for workloads such as Web serving, Big Data applications, scalable analytics such as Apache ...
It seems Microsoft doesn't want to take any chances with rollouts of future Windows tablets. The company is reportedly asking a special favor of each chip maker with which it will be working on tablets. It wants the chip suppliers to each partner with one -- or possibly two, according to some accoun...
The IT industry loves the concept of "innovation," but many vendors' hearts largely belong to just the most conventional sorts of wisdom. That adoration takes a number of shapes: Stone Age business models; dusty Neolithic technologies and architectures; fossilized go-to-market strategies. In point o...
In contrast to Apple's stunning success, the first calendar quarter of 2011 was a revolving door for other Silicon Valley companies and executives. There were management shifts, shakeups and ousters at AMD, Google, HP and Microsoft. They were variously aimed at jump-starting product momentum (AMD...
The tone for 2011 in high technology was set in early January: fast, bold, aggressive action and sweeping management changes. In the first four months of the year, high-tech vendors moved quickly and decisively to seize opportunities in established sectors (smartphones, virtualization, data backup a...
Last week saw a pair of announcements that could profoundly affect the way that companies plan, deploy and manage their datacenter infrastructures. On the scale-up side of the house, CA announced that it has installed a new integrated IBM zEnterprise mainframe and BladeCenter Extension system. In th...
The preliminary estimate for dollars spent on video games in 2010 is between $15.4 billion and $15.6 billion, down by about 1 percent from 2009, according to a report from the NPD Group. The figure includes total sales of new physical video and PC games, used games, game rentals, subscriptions, digi...
AMD CEO Dirk Meyer abruptly stepped down on Monday. In a public statement, AMD called it a "resignation" that was "effective immediately," which makes it look more like a firing. The company appointed CFO Thomas Seifert as interim CEO. Meyer, who became CEO in 2008, has lead the company through some...
I can't claim any sort of deep attachment to or experience with the Consumer Electronic Show since my business IT interests typically fall well outside its typical focus. But I've attended the past couple of shows for two simple reasons. First, vendors are increasingly attempting to inextricably lin...
