The Rebirth of PCs, or Telling IT to Frack Off Again

New Robotic Data Center to Roam the World's Seas

"This is an advancement in power generation," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group.

The Next Big Thing in Smartphones: Multiple Video Camera Support

I've been meeting with a number of companies that build video-editing software, and I've been becoming increasingly concerned that we aren't at all ready for a world in which nearly every car and every head has a streaming camera attached to it.
