- HP's Dragonfly Pro: Windows and Chromebook Separated at Birth techspective | Mar 24 HP’s Dragonfly line is a premium line of laptops, and the Pro designator is a brand modifier signifying an even higher tier product. HP released very similar notebooks: a Pro Windows product developed in close collaboration with AMD, and a Chromebook in close collaboration with Google and Intel using Intel’s Evo platform.
- NVIDIA Fixes Three Of The Automotive Market's Biggest Problems TG Daily | Mar 24 I’ve covered automotive technology since the early 1990s and been an enthusiast since the 1960s. Over that time, I’ve covered three big problems that automakers run up against. These problems have resulted in cars people don’t want to buy, poor customer loyalty and a lack of sustained and reliable income for both automakers and their dealers. At NVIDIA’s GTC conference this year, I saw the future of the automotive market, and much of that future addresses how to fix these endemic automotive market problems.
- Microsoft Copilot could fix a long-running Office problem Computerworld | Mar 23 The arrival of AI in Microsoft apps, especially Office, could kick off a lot of creativity and — if we’re lucky — make Office a more coherent suite of tools.
- SEC probe and newly discovered $4.7B liability puts ARM at greater risk SD Times | Mar 21 A lot of us have been looking at ARM more closely since litigation with Qualcomm started. To refresh you on that situation, that litigation appears to be an effort to get Qualcomm to pay significantly more for licenses for PCs than it does for smartphones, even though the PC effort has yet to be successful. That effort likely won’t be successful until 2024 but only if Qualcomm invests a massive amount of cash – which, if ARM’s litigation is successful, Qualcomm wouldn’t have. The litigation is not only counter to the contract between Qualcomm and ARM, it places a cloud over ARM, and it appears to be increasing a migration of developers from ARM to RISC V. To me, it reads like extortion, but at best it is premature because the product ARM is attempting to get more money for doesn’t exist in market yet, so, getting a higher percentage of nothing is still nothing.

Rob Enderle on…
Nvidia
[Enderle said Nvidia is clearly benefiting from Huang’s early vision of AI.] “Clear credit goes to Jensen Huang for anticipating the needs decades in advance and then successfully positioning the firm to benefit from them. We are still very early on these waves, suggesting even more significant gains for Nvidia.”

Avaya
“It has historically been undermarketed, and given the need to change its image from an obsolescent telecom firm to one that is more forward-looking, it continues to struggle to be relevant, which doesn’t bode well for its long-term future. Avaya looks like a company that is running out of time.”

Layoffs in the Bay Area
“There was an over-exuberance in the tech industry because of the coronavirus. Tech companies ramped up to meet the demand for their services and products and they thought that demand would become permanent. But the demand turned out to be transitory.”

Microsoft releasing Bing powered by AI
“All of a sudden, the Microsoft search product is going to be substantially better than the Google offering. ... With switching costs so low, the question will be how many people switch to Bing and how bad a hit will Google take? ... This appears to be a well-executed, deep strategy to take the fight to Google, and Google, for whatever reason, was not adequately prepared.”
