Smartphone Chip Can Only Do So Much, It's up to Your Carrier

“We shop at home, we surf the Web ... at the same time, we feel emptier, lonelier and more cut off from each other than at any other time in human history...” – Palmer Joss, Contact, 1997, Warner Brothers  By Andy Marken

Right after storage firms, chip companies are the most unappreciated folks in the industry. They plug away making things that do more and more for less and less and all you say is "so"?

Take the smarphone in your pocket/purse.

You use it to surf the Web, send and receive emails, play games, watch movies and, just for the hellovit, you occasionally make a phone call.

Don't Tell Me Who You Are, I'll Just Check Your Online Data

By Andy Marken

Governments around the globe are working hard to develop guidelines and laws that will ensure the protection of your data, your information and you.

That has to make you feel about as safe as someone coming to your door and saying, "I'm from the tax service and here to help you."

Actually, their work doesn't make me feel good or concerned.

My information – and yours – is already out there. And we all keep adding to it voluntarily for them.

Your Boss Loves Your BYOD Tablet, Stuff

I recently watched a couple of the old segments of 24 on YouTube with my iPad and they delivered the same palm-sweating suspense as when they first ran.

It made me wonder how much more Jack could have crammed into his 24 hours if he had today's tablets and smartphones instead of that old-fashioned Blackberry.

Struggling for Ways to Monitize, Find New Opportunities

By Andy Marken

Heyday it Ain't – Families no longer huddle around the TV set to watch their content. There are too many options available and it's a challenge to networks, service providers and people wanting to sell/rent their content. Hundreds of channels are being replaced by the Channel of You.

It's 4K All The Way, Drawing Line in The Sand, Storing Stuff

By Andy Marken

Television and movies always seem to be about surprise, drama and that just about summed up this year's NAB (National Association of Broadcasters).

Everyone is talking up 4K (4X is better than your TV stuff today), Ultra HD, cloud production/storage and closer connections with the customer and consumer.

Walking to the waiting plane, we passed the usual signage and the one for Thunder Down Under just seemed to fit for the "big news" this year.
