The nation can move forward together or continue on its torrid path of division. Don't be fooled, I'm not pro-Trump, I'm pro-America. And, lest we forget, if he fails, we ALL fail. It's time to put down the signs, stop the chants of four-letter and foul words; it's time to put the pieces back together. Don't allow partisanship to overpower reason, if you're angry at the results do something to enact change four years from now, don't stand in the way of today's progress - blame the system, blame those that didn't vote, blame ignorance in the American electorate, but don't propagate fear and uncertainty in the meantime. Two hundred and forty years after the U.S. officially became an independent country, we are watching a presidential election unfold under the influence of cyber attacks from abroad. By that, I am referring to both foreign powers like Russia and high-visibility hacktivists like WikiLeaks, involving themselves by attempting to steal and distribute the candidates' personal information. Smart cities offer several benefits, including real time traffic information and coordinated energy control. However, the technology is still in the early stages, which could open smart cities up to potential dangers like hackers and attacks. Therefore, increased security is necessary from both inside and outside smart cities to make it as difficult as possible for people with malicious intentions to take advantage of the system. I'm at DellEMC World this week in Austin and there have been a number of executives speaking to us to start off the event. Jeff Clarke is the Vice Chairman of Dell and he is one of the more energetic speakers in the industry. He is tied to what many of us think of as the heart of Dell, their client business. I think he is up there to say that if PCs are dead then we are effectively facing Zombie PC Apocalypse because Dell is growing share, revenue, and profit in this segment. For a while, Facebook was seen as one of the great new advances in free background searches as companies demanded passwords of applicants in a bid to investigate personal histories. While that's fallen by the wayside somewhat, in part due to massive outcry against the practice, it's still a good way to have a look at an employee in a more personal, less polished sense. That may be particularly useful as Facebook is looking to offer new options to businesses by using Pages as a means to present job listings. At Cable-tec this year, cable telecom engineers and executives gathered to discuss the latest innovations happening in the space. One of the most pressing issues was how to better address enormous bandwidth demands of today's users. From Netflix to YouTube, sending increasingly large numbers of videos over fiber lines across the United States is stressing the networks and is a clear example of demand exceeding supply. The Blackberry DTEK60 is one of two phones I'm testing using the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset and matching radio. The common core features are compelling and given the DTEK, and previous PRIV, lines run Android, you tend to get the best of both worlds: a phone that resists malware and is relatively secure and full compatibility with the Android App store. This is by far the best Blackberry phone ever created and, for once, it is fully in line with other premium smartphones. The Snapdragon 820 features make it a very strong upgrade from earlier smartphones in market. Let me explain. Data visualization company Periscope Data has announced $25 million in additional funding led by existing investor DFJ. Prior to the latest funding, the company was reportedly valued at $100 million.
