Samsung's TipTalk smart strap gives old watches some  finger phone magic (hands-on)      Samsung has let employees play with crazy new ideas in its C-Lab, and TipTalk gives any watch a smart makeover with an amazing way to take calls by just putting your finger against your ear.                    On show at CES 2016, the Samsung-backed TipTalk is a clever new "smart strap" for traditional watches, adding fitness tracking, notifications and calling features to any watch. It's the greatest trick? Letting you take calls by pressing your finger into your ear like some kind of kids' make believe fake phone game has become reality. The idea comes from a Samsung project called C-Lab, where over 100 projects run by internal staff have been initiated since 2012. TipTalk is one of nine to be broken out as a full external startup. As smartwatches take hold, many horological hardliners are sticking to their...

Microsoft's cloud data centers Microsoft and the Software Defined Data Center Microsoft's Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) vision has taken a long time to come to fruition. Born as part of its dynamic data center model, it's taken more than a decade to become a set of shipping products. The numbers for Microsoft's cloud are impressive: over a million servers and more than a hundred sites around the world. So if we're going inside one, it might be an idea to start with some statistics. ·           1989: Microsoft opens its first datacenter on its Redmond, Washington campus. ·           200-plus: The number of online services delivered by Microsoft's datacenters 24x7x365. ·           $15 billion-plus: Microsoft's investment in building its cloud infrastructure. ·           30 trill...

Faraday FFZERO1 Over the years I've seen a lot of concept EVs at a lot of motor shows from a lot of companies that were never heard from again, little startups making big promises about big cars with big wings. Undelivered promises, for the most part. And so, it's easy for me to look at the unveiling of the radical Faraday Future FFZERO1 here at the International   CES   in Las Vegas and see just another far-fetched idea from an idealistic company with ambitions broader than its budget.    But that doesn't seem to be the case here -- and that's despite no lack of ambition. Faraday Future is backed by Letv, a Chinese media and technologies company with a market value in the tens of billions of dollars. This backing has enabled Faraday to build a team of hundreds and invest $1 billion in a battery factory here in Nevada. That   should   be enough to silence plenty of critics despite the   car   itself looking like little more than a f...

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Connects Geography with Data Every day, millions of decisions are being powered by Geographic Information Systems (GIS)… From pinpointing new store locations… to predicting climate change… to reporting power outages… to analyzing crime patterns. Because geographic problems require spatial thinking. In a GIS, you connect  data  with  geography . You understand  what   belongs  where . Because you don’t fully understand your data until you see how it relates to other things. What is the definition for GIS? Geographic Information Systems is a computer-based tool that analyzes, stores, manipulates and visualizes geographic information on a map. Never in the history of mankind have we had more pressing issues in need of a geospatial perspective. These global issues require pervasive, complex, location-based knowledge that can only come from a GIS. Long story short: Geographic Information Systems really com...
