3 Critical Things Sales Can Learn From IT

Chris Bucholtz Jan 9, 2018 5:00 AM PT

If you're in sales, it's likely there are people you want to talk to, and others you may go out of your way to avoid. You might be excited to talk to the CMO -- or not so excited -- based on the leads you recently worked. You might avoid the people from finance, but you might enjoy conversing with your comp plan administrator. However, there's one group of people you may never even consider. [More...]

IoT and 5G: New Revenues, Use Cases, Value-added Services The 5G standards target billions of new devices that will connect to operators' networks over the next decade and beyond. Each device type serves a use case that can be high-volume with low throughput requirements, or low-volume but high-value from a customer's point of view. The list of use cases keeps growing as new types of devices are added to the network, and as existing devices find new use cases with embedded mobile connectivity. [More...]

The Morning After: CES 2018 press conferences

It's Tuesday, January 09, 2018. Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Now that the big press conferences are over, the CES show floor will open today. Before we dive into the mess of gadgets and people, however, you should check out these highlights. (And, get ready for the live stream from Engadget’s CES 2018 stage starting at 1 PM ET.) Dude, where’s my spy satellite? Top-secret Zuma payload believed lost On Sunday, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket with a top-secret US Government payload aboard. While we still don’t know exactly what the Zuma mission was supposed to do, the Wall Street Journal reports that its payload didn’t separate from the rocket’s second stage and tumbled back to Earth. Oops? Look at those cute OLED eyes. Sony Aibo 2018: old robot dog, new tricks Dogs may be man's best friend, but Aibo won't be yours unless you give it some love -- no matter how much you paid for it. A billionaire, a developer and a pro wrestler walk into a keynote. Microsoft's Xbox was the last great CES reveal The original Xbox was a perfect microcosm of the CES of yore: A massively ambitious piece of tech, but no one knew how it would work or fit into their lives. Here’s the story of its unveiling at CES in 2001. Wait, what? ASUS can turn three screens into one seamless gaming display The most interesting accessory ASUS brought to CES this year isn't high-tech at all. In fact, the ROG Bezel-free Kit doesn't even require power or software to operate. You have to see it to believe it. LG Display's magic rollable OLED TV Yep, it's still a prototype, but LG Display explained that this particular tech demo is closer to real consumer devices than its 88-inch 8K OLED. Great expectations. LG's 2018 4K TVs include AI and smarter HDR The flagship OLED lines (the Signature-badged W8 and more-conventional E8) and the LCD-based SK9500 have designs that are largely familiar to their predecessors but carry some significant upgrades under the hood. Xtreme. Netgear’s new Nighthawk router is built for pro gamers The Pro Gaming Router guarantees a local connection thanks to geo filtering and lets you create preferred server lists, while the Dual-Core 1.7GHz processor supports multiple devices for better 4K streaming.

The End Of Silicon Valley

New Open Source Mobile OS Puts Privacy Front and Center
A renowned Linux innovator has developed a new mobile operating system,
called "Project eelo," in an effort to provide a level of data privacy
that traditional Android and iOS devices fail to offer. The new eelo
system will allow mobile phone users to regain control over their
personal information at a price they can afford, said Gael Duval, who
created Mandrake Linux back in 1998.

Nearly a dozen cybersecurity researchers this week reported two
