Mobile devices built with the Snapdragon 820 will be able to learn about users over time, picking up human activity patterns and anticipating actions.Putting the machine learning features on the chip, rather than in the cloud, will make mobile devices more personal and more useful than they are today, said Derek Aberle, president of Qualcomm, in a news conference at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Monday.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   WHITE PAPER: LogMeIn 7 Steps to Business Success on the Internet of Things The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to do nothing short of revolutionize the way the world does business.

Learn More Slack: Collaboration that actually works! Getting a group of people working on a project to communicate with each other is easy; you just give 'em all email and stand back … and what you'll see is chaos. The explosion of messages will be immediate and the struggle to keep threads of discussion on track and in context means that decisions get obscured and missed, responsibilities become unclear, direction wanders, and documents get lost. The conclusion: Communication is easy, collaboration is hard.If you've experienced this outer ring of hell then you've also probably tried the likes of Google+ or Basecamp in an attempt to curb the chaos and you'll have found that while some aspects of communication improved, overall collaboration didn't.

He is described in a Fortune headline as "The real boss behind Coke's secret formula."Among the accomplishments credited to Keough is one that directly involved that secret formula, namely convincing CEO Roberto Goizueta in 1985 to reverse course on the disaster that was "New Coke" in favor of returning to the original recipe.News of Keough's death had me rereading a 2010 Buzzblog  post that involved this thought experiment: Let's rewrite history: It was 25 years ago tomorrow, April 23, 1985, that the world's most famous soft drink company committed arguably the world's most famous product development/marketing gaffe: New Coke.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
