Developing Tech: What’s Next? BlackBerry is executing a fascinating turnaround; the strategy isn’t to recover the old BlackBerry as we know it, but to create a very different company — one tied more to the technology behind secure communications than any one specific hardware device.

Developing Tech: What’s Next? Last week, I was one of a handful of people who saw the first 3D printed supercar. Now, the parts that were printed were the chassis components; the engine, body, and many of the more complex components were purchased off the shelf. And the car wasn’t electric, either. It used switchable […]

Five Ways to Prepare for the Enterprise Cloud This week I attended my first in-person presentation by Larry Ellison and Oracle. I’d seen presentations from Ellison streamed and taped before, but you really don’t get the full sense of something when it is streamed. Ellison remains one of the few founders still in position from […]
