Public Wi-Fi allows us to stay connected wherever we go. While the convenience drives us to connect more often, by no means does that indicate we're in a safe zone. And for the most part, we understand this, but do it anyway. Last week's wave of worldwide DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks through the use of unsecured Internet of Things (IoT) devices is both disturbing and revealing. Disrupting prime-time access to e-commerce and social media sites has some near-term implications, but also signaled the launch of an arms race between bad actors and the White Hat community - with the future of the IoT clearly between them. In the long run, the White Hats will win, but the question is how long it will take them. Over-the-top Web-based television seems to be the way of the future, as demonstrated by Netflix, Hulu, and a host of developments to follow, along with reports of declining cable television viewership numbers. Google's Unplugged service, meanwhile, looks to join in those ranks, and it's just added a major new draw to its operations: CBS. Once upon a time, Apple was king of hardware design, be it the desktop, laptop, or tablet. No longer. Microsoft is now the one to watch as it hones in on designing high-end PCs for power users, with the Surface Studio its best piece yet. The rest of the PC manufacturing world has yet to catch up, but it may not have to if the company continues to focus exclusively on elite design. Norwalk, CT, October 17, 2016— TMC, a global, integrated media company helping clients build communities in print, in person and online, today announced a series of recognition programs to highlight technology companies committed to Workplace Excellence. AT&T over the weekend revealed plans to purchase Time Warner Inc. in a deal valued at more than $85 billion, driving down both of their stocks and drawing comment from the Clinton and Trump presidential campaigns. Multi-point wireless systems offer much promise for backhaul. An operator can deploy a single central unit (CU) and the connect end sites as they are required. The installation of additional sites is very simple, as an alignment is not required, and only one side of the connection needs to be visited. This is especially attractive in high-density small cell deployments, where installation time and cost are critical, and the location of sites is very dynamic. If you have any doubts that the world of PC design has stagnated - looking at you Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo, and whoever else is left standing this week - the current wave of crowdsourced projects in bringing hardware from ideas to reality confirms it. But it's an open question if crowd-sourced designs can be more than boutique experiments where major manufacturers fear to tread. In a major shakeup on the chip market, mobile phone chipmaking titan Qualcomm is reportedly embarking on a plan to acquire a similar company, NXP Semiconductors, in an eight-figure deal that will give Qualcomm a lot of extra leverage and a better hold on markets beyond the smartphone.
