admin — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 22:38:01 +0000

The only thing we need now is an open HTML5 store which handles the billing for developers who want the widest audience possible as their creative work is monetized . In January of 2008 I used a term Splinternet to describe the growing number of areas content providers need to focus on when delivering their services. It seems according to Forrester Research I coined the term as it refers to a splintering of the traditional Internet.

IPv6 a major catalyst for billions of dollars worth of deals? The Intel announcement of their McAfee purchase for 7.7 billion seems to indicate as much when Dave DeWalt, McAfee CEO is quoted as saying during a conference call, “If we look at the transition from IPv4 to IPv6, we’re seeing an explosion of billions of devices and they all need to be secured.” Then he continues by saying, “The embedded market is a very specific and high-opportunity market for us.” His estimate is that the number of connected devices will grow from one billion to 50 billion within 10 years.

How The Internet Can Reduce Global Theft

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 21:59:05 +0000

A while back I left a GPS unit in a rental car and when I returned it. I don’t want to be offensive to any particular company so I will refer to the GPS company supplying my device as PomPom . When I realized I wasn’t going to get it back I called the company because I remembered it was M2M-enabled and as such I paid a $10/month fee for Google search access and other online goodies.

It has been an extremely exciting week again for tech news and moreover for me personally as I got a chance to open up my Sony Dash and it is a very cool addition to my desktop as it allows me to view my photos and take advantage of widgets of all kinds which among other thinks allow me to see the pandas at the San Diego Zoo.

Randomised field experiments

admin — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 01:36:00 +0000

In recent years, many economists have been attracted by the possibility of obtaining better knowledge using randomised experiments, which are termed the `gold standard’ for empirical analysis. I have long been skeptical about this approach, for three reasons: Reality is a complicated nonlinear relationship in many dimensions
