As more and more Web traffic comes from mobile devices -- particularly traffic to e-commerce sites -- it's becoming ever more important for businesses to have content that loads onto small screens easily, quickly and effortlessly.

I think he has firmly stepped away from his reality. ...

Traditional cable TV providers will face a big competitive threat in the next decade from the Internet, IPTV, and 5G wireless. Cable TV typically lands at the bottom in customer satisfaction surveys. That means there is both plenty of room for improvement and plenty of room for new competitors and new technologies to jump in and quickly win When ca...
In the Internet of Things -- or the "Intelligence of Things," which is a more apt description -- the automotive segment has become a leading center of innovation. Only healthcare offers the same ability to leverage advances in sensors, processing, connectivity and artificial intelligence technology to advance an industry while simultaneously improving society.

I came to tech by accident. Formally trained in public health and international development, I was presented with a problem that needed to be fixed.

Th...

However, there's research that indicates fewer than 1 percent of people report taking the time to review online terms.

I'm struck by the extent to which Apple and Tesla are executing a model very similar to IBM's. While IBM has evolved to put the customer at the center always, Apple and Tesla are nuanced in that respect, much like IBM was in the past. I worked at IBM when it imploded in the early 1990s, so I think I can speak to what is in Apple and Tesla's futur...
