computerworld.comLet’s face it: the changes you’re going to see in smartphones every year are pretty incremental. With some significant exceptions (I’m looking at you, user interface of the iPhone X), today’s phones aren’t all that much different than the phones of three years ago. Faster, yes, More memory, sure. Better cameras, absolutely. Smaller bezels, it’s true.But different? Well, no. Not really.The two most significant changes are the rise of “plus” or XL supersized models and watertightness. The latter is a terrific feature, and one that’s saved me thousands of dollars. But as much as I like a lot of screen real estate, I still have trouble wrapping my head (and hands) around today’s plus-sized phones.To read this article in full, please click here...

computerworld.comWhen Microsoft released Win10 Pro Creators Update, version 1703, it included the ability to control updates. Some would argue (and I still do) that the ability to readily block updates is the most important feature of 1703 - and the single reason why individual Window 10 customers should spring for Win10 Pro, instead of Win10 Home.Now, for the third time since its release in April 2017, Microsoft has simply ignored those blocks and moved machines on to the Fall Creators Update, version 1709, without warning or explanation.To read this article in full, please click here...

computerworld.comNew rules for “self-driving cars” in California highlight a glaring misconception about how A.I. works.An educated public understands that autonomous vehicles are amazing but that they are so far unable to fully take control of a passenger vehicle with no human behind the wheel.It’s only a matter of time before today’s “safety drivers” - the humans who sit idle behind the wheel in case the artificial intelligence fails - get out of the car and leave the driving to the machines, right?Whoa, slow your roll there, self-driving car narrative.California just approved licenses for self-driving cars to in fact have no human driver behind the wheel, or no human in the vehicle at all (after dropping off a passenger, or for deliveries) with one caveat: The self-driving car companies must monitor and be able to take over driving remotely.To read this article in full, please click here...

computerworld.comThe business world is evolving at a rapid pace. As we move toward increasingly varied, sophisticated, and challenging collaboration scenarios, solution providers are having a hard time keeping up with the changing workforce’s needs. With this evolution, we are seeing three conflicting pressures in the market when it comes to conferencing: increasing numbers of collaboration scenarios to support, a need for simplification, and a demand for better audio and video quality.In the past, solution providers focused mainly on supporting the increasing number of scenarios.

So while more scenarios are now being supported, users are forced to bridge the significant gap between what technology offers and what we actually need in...
