A latency-killing, cloud storage network is coming to a city near you
ClearSky Data says its innovations have made it possible for companies to store data needed in real time in the cloud.

You'll start to see a lot of hack games hosted on the public cloud. Here's why, or rather, how
Ravello can take a hypervisor and run it in the cloud. The public cloud, that is.

Are datasets truly anonymized? Two well-suited researchers are going to find out
Researchers hope to develop privacy safeguards for very large datasets used in research. One of the researchers was part of the team which successfully de-anonymized Netflix's customer data the company provided in a 2006 contest...

Why one data scientist thinks Facebook is adding a dislike button
A "like" on Facebook is not a strong enough signal for purchase intent, explains Certona CTO Geoffrey Hueter.
That theory about LED lightbulbs transmitting data? It's true. Li-Fi is here.
Yes, multiple tests have shown that LED lighting fixtures can transmit wireless data at very competitive high speeds. A commercial product started shipping several months ago.

Underappreciated and underrated, voice over LTE is here
VoLTE is still a voice product, but recent developments show how easily it can offer much more to enterprises.

Advanced pedestrian detection is here. It is very useful and makes me nervous
Google has made a big leap forward with real-time image recognition that can be applied to pedestrian detection. This is good news for potential accident victims out there. But the privacy implications!
How new 'white space' rules could lead to an urban super-Wi-Fi
The underutilized UHF band is perfect for wireless data and can carry for miles, not blocked by walls or trees.

iPass has tech in beta to solve Wi-Fi's most irritating problem
Trying to connect to a Wi-Fi spot can be an exercise in frustration depending on the device, the hotspot provider and even where you are standing. iPass has technology in beta right now that may solve that problem.
Graava embeds A.I. in the cloud to take the perfect video
Artificial intelligence in the cloud is a work in progress, with only the biggest companies, like Google, Amazon and IBM ,really making inroads. So it's exciting to see a startup leverage the combo too.
Oh, joy. NeuroMetrix's forthcoming app may require FDA approval
The Food and Drug Administration has said it doesn’t want to get involved with health-related apps. A forthcoming product from NeuroMetrix, the maker of the Quell device, might change that.
More disruption ahead: Wireless sensors that can be printed at home
Researchers have figured out a way to 3D-print wireless sensors from a kit. What does this mean for companies that have built their own disruptive tech offerings around wireless sensors? Maybe less than you'd think.
Is your wearable losing its charge too soon? Of course it is. Scientists are here to help.
Got a wearable? Then you've got a slow battery. But maybe not for long. Read on.

When the good guys are wielding the lasers
Lasers can be used to steal sensitive data, even over long distances. New research at MIT shows that they can also be used to protect data.

What if 5G launched and no one could afford it?
Based on some of the standards work under way, 5G could shape up to be an awfully expensive connectivity solution.

Never mind Apple's curved devices — you can plunge your finger into a GHOST screen
A research group in Europe has created a way to make smartphone and computer screens malleable in order to render 3D objects. Makes all that fuss about Apple's forthcoming curved screens seem somewhat silly, doesn't it?
The long-awaited throwable camera is here, and guess who gets it first?
The police wanted a simple device that can be easily used in the field, which they are getting. But Bounce Imaging is also planning to option its stitch-imaging camera technology to other industries.

How <i>Terminator 2</i> could wind up changing 3D printing as we know it
Ford is using a technology developed by startup Carbon3D that is said to be dramatically faster than traditional 3D printing techniques.

Can Wi-Fi offloading finally give the mobile Internet some breathing space?
Offloading some wireless traffic to Wi-Fi networks is finally a concept that wireless carriers are not only considering, but in the case of Sprint, actively deploying. So is the fix for mobile capacity here? Unfortunately, not quite....

Maybe robots, A.I. and algorithms aren't as smart as we think
We are offloading more and more sophisticated knowledge work to smart technology. But the public won't be demanding the head of the algorithm when something goes awry. Rather it will be the company holding the reputational bag.
