As I See Tech

In a world where everything connects to a cloud hosted OS, IoT can be cheaper and simpler. The real focus is fast and reliable networking, because everything really happens in the cloud.

In a world where everything connects to a cloud hosted OS, the smartphone can be cheaper and simpler. There is no need to make them more powerful than an interactive TV. The real focus is on fast and reliable networking, because everything else really happens in the cloud.

Let's assume for example that the world wide network is giga- or even tera- bits fast and 100% reliable. Imagine the possibilities...

The Nokia+Microsoft deal is the biggest news of the year so far in the mobile industry before the much awaited Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on February 14-27, 2011. What's the significance of this deal? How important is it to Nokia? And to Microsoft?

There were news last year of exciting product releases and updates to expect on January 2011. February 2011 comes in and now it's time to check out who delivered and who didn't...

I was looking at my favorite source of tech usage statistics and noticed something that seems to favor Apple's iOS at the expense of Blackberry-based devices. Since this graph does not really distinguish between an iPhone, an iPod Touch or an iPad, still the trend seems to show that there are Blackberry users switching(?).

CES 2011 is invaded by Androids! Started today in Las Vegas, the first day news coverages are mostly about Android, 4G and more Androids. As expected, there'll be a lot of touchscreen devices at CES 2011...  but the Android theme is in the air. New players are venturing into releasing new product lines in 2011, and, yes, they mostly involve a lot of Androids. Many new 4G phones and tablets announced are also using Android.

2010 celebrated a lot of announcements for new technologies for 2011. From new computer designs to more green-oriented technologies, 2011 is an exciting year for new products that can truly help improve our lives. Here's a quick list of what I have so far...

The world needs a new OS . It doesn't have to be as commercialized as Windows, iOS or Android. It doesn't have to be as glamorous as Mac OS. And it doesn't have to be as big as Unix. The new OS just has to exist in order to revolutionize the future of computing in a way far beyond how we know it today.

I few recent blogs ago, I wrote about Why Intel Should Build an OS . Recent news shows Intel acquired security software company McAfee . Now we're seeing security built-in to "Intel inside" devices ! However, let's imagine further if Intel integrates their new found security in to their processors and/or chips with built-in OS. Are you seeing it? A computer device that has a built-in secured OS! Standard in all your brand new "Intel inside" computer devices! It is as brilliant as it is exciting, isn't it?

An OS is basically the software you need to start a computer or any electronic device. At it's core, an OS doesn't really need a flashy UI and a host of applications at once. If you think about it, DOS was not a successful OS for nothing. It was basically what an OS is good enough for.
