With major leadership shakeups and rumors of studio closures, the future of XBOX inside Microsoft suddenly looks uncertain. Is this the beginning of a Game Pass overhaul, or could XBOX face an outright split from the company? Plus, PowerToys 0.100 (yes, point one hundred) arrives with so many improvements.

Papst Leo XIV. hat sich auf den Weg gemacht nach Afrika und wird mehrere Länder besuchen, an einer Friedenskonferenz teilnehmen. Los geht es in Algerien. Dort gibt es nur einige tausend katholische Christen und der Islam ist Staatsreligion. Aber dort in Algerien begann das Leben und Wirken des Heiligen Augustinus, einer der großen Kirchenlehrer. In Algerien gründete Augustinus die erste christliche Mönchsgemeinschaft und verwandelte das Haus seines Vaters in einen Ort des Gemeinschaftslebens und der spirituellen Forschung. Man könne also sagen, dass das erste Kloster der Geschichte, das Haus des Vaters des Heiligen Augustinus gewesen ist. Und Papst Leo ist Augustinermönch und hat einige Jahre diesen weltweiten Orden geleitet. Mir war echt neu, dass Augustinus in seinem Elternhaus seine Gemeinschaft zusammengerufen, ein geistliches Leben und theologische und spirituelle Forschung angefangen hat. In den letzten Tagen hatte ich ein Video gesehen, dass eine Familie mit sieben Kindern über den Tag begleitet hat und die Kinder auf einem Touchpad immer ankreuzen konnten, was sie erledigt hatten. Das ging vom "Guten Morgen", über das Waschen, Kämmen und Zähneputzen, Frühstücken, einzelne Tätigkeiten im Haushalt, Schule, Kindergarten und so weiter. Und dann war ein Punkt: zusammen beten. Alle haben zusammen im Wohnzimmer gebetet und Gott für den Tag gedankt und für Mitmenschen Fürbitte gehalten. "Hauskirche" nannte man das früher und es ist und bleibt die Aufgabe von uns Christen, zusammen zuhause zu beten und Kinder und Enkel in diese Praxis zu begleiten. Kinder lernen durch Nachahmung. Wenn sie sehen und erleben, dass Eltern und Verwandte beten, dann wollen sie es auch lernen. In diesen Wochen sind Erstkommunionfeiern überall im Land und manchmal spürt man dabei, dass Kinder gewohnt sind, zu beten, Gebete vorzulesen und in Ruhe mitzufeiern. Vom Heiligen Augustinus stammt auch ein Wort, dass ich Dir gern in den Tag mitgeben will. Er sagt: "Bete, als hinge alles von Gott ab. Arbeite, als ob alles von dir abhinge."
Dr. Federico Faggin is a physicist, engineer, and the inventor of the microprocessor - the technology which paved the way for the digital age; making modern computing, the internet, and smartphones possible. In recent decades, Federico has turned his attention to developing a scientific theory of consciousness based on the latest developments in quantum physics. In this conversation, we explore: — How “quantum fields” may possess consciousness and free will as fundamental properties — Why meaning, not information alone, is the foundation of reality — How Federico's theory explains the relationship between the body, mind, and consciousness — Why cooperation and love, rather than competition, emerge as the natural organizing principles in this framework And more. You can learn more about Dr. Faggin's work in his book "Irreducible". — Federico Faggin, born in Vicenza, Italy, is a physicist and pioneering inventor in computing. He co-designed one of Italy's first transistorized computers, developed the MOS Silicon Gate Technology, and led the creation of the world's first microprocessor, the Intel 4004. He founded Zilog, Cygnet Technologies, and Synaptics, pioneering innovations like the Z80 microprocessor, Touchpad, and Touchscreen. Today, he leads the Federico and Elvia Faggin Foundation, advancing the scientific study of consciousness. Faggin has received major honors including the Marconi Prize, Kyoto Prize, National Medal of Technology, and induction into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

Auch das doppelte X reicht aber, um die HDR-Mania in den kleinsten, auch akustischen Winkel des Podcasts vordringen zu lassen, quasi vom Pazifik bis zum Viktoriasee - wenn man diese Strecke mit dem winzig-goldigen Touchpad denn wirklich zurücklegen könnte. Statt dessen dürft ihr lernen, warum Dr. Indiana Jones (den viel zu vorhersehbaren XXX-Witz mit Diana Jones sparen wir uns an dieser Stelle) vermutlich kein Teil der italienischen Mafia wäre und auch Nathan Drake gern seine kleinen krummen Touren durchzieht, aber vermutlich eher nichts mit dem organisierten Verbrechen zu tun hat. Ansonsten versuchen Peter und Christian, den armen Fipps zu Strumpfhosen-Helden-Geschichten zu zwingen (was ja eigentlich wenig Gegenwehr erwarten lassen würde, aber der erfreut sich aktuell eher an interstellaren Schwertkämpferinnen ohne Strumpfhosen), während Tax eh lieber Föten im Inkubator-Bauchtascherl spazieren trägt.

In 2011, HP killed a $1.2 billion innovation in just 49 days. I was the Chief Technology Officer who recommended buying it. What happened next reveals why smart people consistently destroy breakthrough technology—and the systematic framework you need to avoid making the same mistake. HP had just spent $1.2 billion acquiring Palm to get WebOS—one of the most advanced mobile operating systems ever created. It had true multitasking when iOS and Android couldn't handle it, an elegant interface design, and breakthrough platform technology. I led the technical due diligence and recommended the acquisition because I believed we were buying the future of mobile computing.We launched it on the HP TouchPad tablet. Then, the CEO killed it just 49 days after launch. Here's a question that should keep every innovation leader awake at night: How do you destroy breakthrough technology worth over a billion dollars in less than two months? The answer isn't what you think. It's not about bad technology, poor market timing, or insufficient resources. It's about systematic thinking errors that intelligent people make when evaluating innovation under pressure. And these same patterns are happening in companies everywhere, right now. I'm going to show you exactly how this happens, why your company is vulnerable to the same mistakes, and give you a proven framework to prevent these disasters before they destroy your next breakthrough innovation. On my Studio Notes on Substack, I share the personal story of watching this unfold while recovering from surgery. In this episode, I want to focus on the systematic patterns that caused this disaster and the decision framework that can prevent it. Here's my promise: by the end of this episode, you'll understand the five thinking errors that consistently destroy innovation value, you'll have a complete decision framework to avoid these traps, and you'll know exactly how to apply this to your current innovation decisions. Because here's what this disaster taught me: intelligence doesn't predict decision quality. Systematic thinking frameworks do. The Pattern That Destroys Billion-Dollar Innovations Let me start with the fundamental problem that makes these disasters predictable. When the HP Board hired Leo Apotheker as CEO, they created what I call a "cognitive mismatch," and it reveals why smart people make terrible innovation decisions. Apotheker came from SAP, where he'd run a $15 billion software company. HP was a $125 billion technology company with breakthrough mobile platform technology. The board put someone whose largest organizational experience was half the size of HP's smallest division in charge of evaluating platform innovations he'd never encountered before. But here's the crucial insight: the problem wasn't his experience level. The problem was how his professional background created mental blind spots that made him literally unable to see WebOS as an opportunity. Here's what's dangerous: Apotheker couldn't see WebOS as valuable because his entire career taught him that software companies don't do hardware. His brain was wired to see hardware as a distraction, not an advantage. To him, WebOS represented exactly the kind of hardware business he wanted to eliminate. Your expertise becomes your blind spot. You literally can't see opportunities outside your professional comfort zone. And this is the first critical principle: Your job background creates mental filters that determine what opportunities you can even see. And this pattern is happening in your company right now. Your finance team evaluates platform investments using metrics designed for traditional products. Your marketing team rejects concepts they can't explain with existing frameworks. Your engineers dismiss breakthrough ideas that don't fit current technical roadmaps. The pattern is always identical: intelligent people using the wrong thinking frameworks to evaluate breakthrough technology. Let me show you exactly how this destroys innovation value. The Five Systematic Thinking Errors That Kill Innovation WebOS died because of five predictable cognitive errors that occur when smart people evaluate breakthrough technology under pressure. These aren't unique to HP—I've seen identical patterns destroy innovation value across multiple industries. Error #1: Solving the Wrong Problem The most dangerous mistake happens before you evaluate any options: framing the wrong decision question. Apotheker was asking "How do I transform HP into a software company?" when the strategic question was "How do we build competitive advantage in mobile computing platforms?" When you optimize solutions for the wrong problem, you get excellent answers that destroy strategic value. The Warning Sign: Your team jumps straight to evaluating options without questioning whether you're solving the right challenge. Error #2: Identity-Driven Decision Making Your professional background creates systematic blind spots about breakthrough opportunities. Software executives see software solutions. Hardware leaders focus on hardware opportunities. Financial experts optimize for traditional metrics. This cognitive filtering happens automatically and distorts how you evaluate platform technologies that don't fit conventional categories. The Warning Sign: Your evaluation team all have similar backgrounds and reach the same conclusions about breakthrough technology. Error #3: Tunnel Vision Under Pressure When executives become obsessed with major initiatives, everything else feels like a distraction. Apotheker became obsessed with acquiring Autonomy, a software company that fit his transformation vision. This tunnel vision made everything else—including breakthrough mobile technology—feel like a distraction from his primary goal. The Warning Sign: Leadership dismisses promising innovations because they don't support the current primary initiative. Error #4: Timeline Compression Under Stress Platform technologies require different evaluation timeframes than traditional products. Forty-nine days isn't enough time to build developer ecosystems, establish retail partnerships, or demonstrate platform traction. But pressure to show decisive leadership compressed HP's decision timeline artificially, creating the illusion of strong leadership while increasing the probability of strategic errors. The Warning Sign: Your team is evaluating breakthrough technology using the same timelines as conventional product launches. Error #5: Wrong Evidence Framework Innovation decisions require fundamentally different success metrics than traditional business evaluation. HP focused on TouchPad sales numbers instead of developer adoption rates, user engagement patterns, or platform differentiation sustainability. They used product metrics to evaluate platform potential, which guaranteed they would see failure instead of recognizing early-stage ecosystem development. The Warning Sign: You're applying traditional business metrics to evaluate breakthrough technology investments. Here's what makes these errors so dangerous: they're invisible to the people making them. Smart teams use these flawed frameworks and feel confident they're making data-driven decisions while systematically destroying innovation value. But these patterns are preventable. After analyzing hundreds of similar disasters, I developed a systematic framework specifically designed to avoid these thinking traps. The DECIDE Framework: Your Innovation Decision Protection System The DECIDE framework addresses each cognitive vulnerability that consistently traps intelligent leaders in innovation contexts. Let me show you exactly how it works and why it would have saved WebOS. D - Define the Real Decision Most innovation failures begin with teams optimizing excellent solutions for poorly defined problems. The Tool: Reframe your decision question three different ways. If all three point to the same choice, you're probably asking the right question. If they point to different choices, you need to determine which frame captures the real strategic challenge. Examples of Different Frames: Financial Frame: "How do we minimize losses on this investment?" Strategic Frame: "How do we build long-term competitive advantage?" Market Frame: "How do we capture emerging opportunities?" Competitive Frame: "How do we position against industry leaders?" Customer Frame: "How do we create unique value for users?" HP's Application: Original Frame: "Should we continue investing in TouchPad given poor sales?" Strategic Reframe: "How do we build a sustainable mobile platform business?" Competitive Reframe: "What's our path to competing with Apple and Google in mobile?" What This Reveals: The reframes show TouchPad was one product in a larger platform opportunity that deserved different evaluation criteria entirely. E - Examine Your Thinking Process Your professional background creates invisible filters that can systematically distort how you interpret breakthrough opportunities. The Tool: If you hired someone with completely different expertise to make this decision, what would they choose? When the gap is huge, you need outside perspectives with different cognitive frameworks. HP's Gap: Enterprise software CEO versus consumer platform strategy requirements. They needed mobile platform thinking, not enterprise software optimization, but never brought that expertise into the decision process. C - Challenge Your Assumptions The most dangerous assumptions feel like established facts and shape your entire analysis without being examined. The Tool: What would have to be true for your least favorite option to actually be the right choice? This forces you to consider alternative interpretations of the same evidence. HP's Assumptions: Platform businesses need immediate profitability, mobile computing won't dominate, differentiated operating systems can't compete with Apple and Google. All of these assumptions were provably false by 2011, but they drove the evaluation process. I - Identify Decision Traps Different types of decisions trigger predictable cognitive biases that distort evaluation in systematic ways. The Tool: Which specific biases is your decision most vulnerable to? Create explicit countermeasures for each identified bias. Common Innovation Decision Biases: Focused on stopping losses vs building advantages (loss aversion) Seeking evidence that supports preferred choice (confirmation bias) Overweighting first information received (anchoring bias) Obsessing with one initiative while missing others (tunnel vision) Choosing options that fit your identity (identity bias) Using recent events to predict outcomes (recency bias) HP's Specific Traps: Focused on stopping TouchPad losses vs building platform advantages (loss aversion) Highlighted negative sales data while ignoring positive developer signals (confirmation bias) Used early TouchPad sales as anchor for all subsequent evaluation (anchoring bias) D - Design Multiple Options Most innovation failures result from evaluating limited options well rather than evaluating good options poorly. The Tool: Generate five genuinely different approaches before evaluating any of them. Breakthrough solutions often emerge from non-obvious alternatives. HP's Missing Options: License WebOS to manufacturers, integrate into PC ecosystem, pivot to enterprise mobile, create hybrid hardware-software strategy. All had genuine potential but were never seriously considered. E - Evaluate with Evidence Platform technologies require fundamentally different success metrics than traditional product evaluation. The Tool: What evidence would predict success for this specific type of innovation? Use frameworks appropriate for breakthrough technology, not conventional business metrics. HP's Error: They used quarterly sales performance and immediate profitability to evaluate platform potential. Platform businesses lose money initially while building network effects that create sustainable advantages later. How to Apply This to Your Innovation Decision Right Now Let me show you how to use this framework with your current innovation decisions. Step One: Identify Your Highest-Stakes Innovation Decision What breakthrough technology, platform investment, or disruptive opportunity is your team evaluating right now? This framework applies to any decision where traditional business metrics might mislead about innovation potential. Step Two: Run the Decision Question Test Before evaluating any options, reframe your decision question three different ways. Are you asking "How do we minimize risk?" or "How do we maximize strategic opportunity?" The frame determines the solutions you'll even consider. Step Three: Audit Your Evaluation Team Who's making this decision? What cognitive filters might their backgrounds create? Do you need advisors with different expertise to see opportunities your current team might miss? Step Four: Challenge Your Obvious Assumptions What would have to be true for the option you least prefer to actually be right? Those conditions might exist or be emerging faster than you realize. Step Five: Identify Your Decision Traps Is your team vulnerable to loss aversion? Anchoring on early data? Tunnel vision around other initiatives? Create specific countermeasures for each identified bias. Step Six: Generate Multiple Approaches Push beyond obvious choices. What would someone from a completely different industry do? What creative alternatives combine elements from different options? Step Seven: Use Appropriate Evidence Are you evaluating platform potential with product metrics? Breakthrough technology with conventional criteria? Innovation investments with traditional business frameworks? Match your evidence to your innovation type. Why This Framework Prevents Innovation Disasters The DECIDE framework works because it addresses the specific cognitive vulnerabilities that consistently trap intelligent people in innovation contexts. Traditional decision-making assumes you know the right questions to ask, can see opportunities clearly, and will use appropriate evaluation criteria. Innovation decisions violate all these assumptions. Breakthrough technologies don't fit existing categories. Platform investments don't follow traditional timelines. Disruptive opportunities can't be evaluated with conventional metrics. The companies that consistently succeed at innovation aren't smarter—they use systematic frameworks designed for uncertainty, breakthrough potential, and non-obvious opportunities. Three Companies Getting This Right: Amazon evaluates platform investments with different metrics than product launches. They expected Kindle, AWS, and Prime to lose money initially while building long-term competitive advantages. Google uses systematic frameworks to avoid identity bias in breakthrough technology evaluation. Android didn't fit their search advertising identity, but they evaluated it with platform-appropriate criteria. Apple applies different decision frameworks to breakthrough products versus incremental improvements. They gave iPhone multiple years to build ecosystem momentum instead of expecting immediate profitability. These companies avoid the systematic thinking errors that destroyed WebOS because they use decision frameworks designed for innovation uncertainty. Your Next Strategic Decision Here's the reality: this challenge isn't going away. Breakthrough technologies will continue emerging faster than traditional business frameworks can evaluate them. The companies that develop systematic innovation decision capabilities will capture enormous value. Those that rely on conventional thinking will consistently destroy breakthrough opportunities. Your Three Action Steps: First: Download the DECIDE Framework toolkit and apply it to your current highest-stakes innovation decision before evaluating any options. Second: Audit your innovation evaluation processes. Are you using traditional business metrics to evaluate breakthrough technology? Conventional timelines for platform investments? Identity-driven thinking for disruptive opportunities? Third: Build systematic innovation decision capabilities into your organization. Train your team to recognize cognitive biases, use appropriate evidence frameworks, and generate multiple creative alternatives. Questions to Consider: What breakthrough opportunity might your company be evaluating with the wrong frameworks right now? How would you know if your team is falling into the same thinking traps that killed WebOS? What would systematic innovation decision capabilities be worth to your competitive advantage? But here's the final piece of this story that shows just how costly these thinking errors can be: Leo Apotheker was fired on September 22, 2011—just 35 days after shutting down WebOS and eleven months after taking over as CEO. The board finally recognized the systematic thinking errors that had destroyed billions in value, but it was too late for WebOS. The human cost of these decisions goes beyond stock prices and quarterly reports. There are real people who believed in breakthrough technology, fought for innovation, and had to watch it get destroyed by preventable thinking errors. The complete personal story of watching this disaster unfold—including details about the brutal aftermath and why I still believe in HP despite everything—is in this week's Studio Notes over on Substack. Remember: when you have breakthrough technology in your hands, the quality of your decision-making process matters more than the quality of your technology. Intelligence and good intentions aren't enough. You need systematic frameworks for thinking clearly about innovation under uncertainty. The tools exist to prevent these disasters. The question is whether you'll implement them before your next WebOS moment. Until next time, I'm Phil McKinney, and remember—in a world where billion-dollar innovations can be killed in 49 days, systematic decision frameworks might be your most valuable competitive advantage.

Wenn der PC von Freunden oder Verwandten zickt, hilft man doch gerne. Damit das möglichst schnell und erfolgreich klappt, beschreiben die c't-Redakteure Jan Schüßler und Peter Siering zum Einen Fernwartungstools und zum Anderen, was man bei Reparaturbesuchen alles dabei haben sollte. In den Werkzeugkoffer gehören neben Werkzeug verschiedene Kabel, Adapter für Festplatten und SSDs (mindestens SATA) und ein paar nicht so offensichtliche Dinge: Ein Blasebalg aus dem Fotozubehör beispielsweise entfernt Staub schonender als Druckluft. Tastatur und Maus (oder platzsparender eine Tastatur mit integriertem Touchpad) mit USB-Anschluss helfen bei Defekten und bei zu ekeligen vorhandenen. Wir differenzieren dabei zwischen vertretbarem Aufwand – beispielsweise Wärmeleitpaste – und nur für professionelle Helfer realisierbarem – beispielsweise Ersatz-CPU-Lüfter in den gängisten Bauformen. Wenn der PC noch startet, ist kein Besuch nötig, sondern Du kannst aus der Ferne helfen. Wir erklären, wie weit Du mit den bei Windows, macOS und Linux vorhandenen Bordmitteln kommst – ziemlich weit nämlich. Falls das nicht reicht, schlägt die Stunde der spezialisierten Tools: Der Chrome-Browser ist einen Versuch wert, zusätzlich kommen TeamViewer, AnyDesk, MeshCentral, pcvisit und RustDesk zur Sprache. Überraschend dabei war vor allem die AR-Funktion von TeamViewer, wo der Hilfesuchende per Smartphone die fraglichen Geräte wie Fernseher, Heizungssteuerung oder Smart-Home-Zentrale filmt und der Helfende erklärende Pfeile und Markierungen einblenden kann. Komplizierter wird's, wenn man als Vermittler weder Microsoft, Apple und Google noch TeamViewer, AnyDesk & Co. vertraut – oder Tools wie RDP-Clients einsetzen möchte. In diesen Fällen muss man erst die Netzwerke des Hilfesuchenden und des Helfers verbinden, in einigen Fällen auch den Vermittler selbst hosten – ganz schön viel Aufwand für eine gelegentliche Hilfeleistung.

My Chromebox is 16GB but when I started monitoring memory usage (using diagnostics) I never saw a point when I was using more than 8GB - this is since Google optimised Chrome and Chrome OS with recent updates. In the end I bought the i5 8GB Acer 516GE and it is highly recommended as a great all-rounder with a fab 16" screen in a virtually 15" and light, too. The only downside is battery life where I tend to get around 6 hours compared to 10 or more on other Chromebooks - the price you pay for the spec I guess. £849 from Acer News, Mews and Views Bad news for BitLocker users — its encryption can be cracked remarkable easily Spiral-shaped lens provides clear vision at a range of distances and lighting conditions 31 year old sea-floor generator tech will soon begin commercial operation Microsoft is killing off Publisher in 2026 Hardline on the hardware Samsung will re-release the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite tablet in 2024 - Official site Acer Chromebox Mini debuts as a fanless mini PC with ChromeOS New Chromebook ‘Xol' emerges with an Assistant Key built in Easy-to-Repair Knockoff of Original iPod is Crowdfunding Smash The Wearables Watch Xiaomi Smart Band 8 Pro global pricing revealed ahead of launch Moto Watch 40 announced Phone Zone The first leaked Google Pixel Fold 2 image shows an extra camera and a new design HMD Global confirms there will be new Nokia phones You'll be able to use your Samsung Galaxy phone as your PC's webcam from March The Name of the Game Microsoft Store now lets you instantly try games without downloading them Microsoft is considering launching a number of Xbox-exclusive games on PlayStation - Starfield and Indy are NOT coming to PS5 Flap your trap about an App Microsoft's CCleaner-like PC Manager for Windows 10 and 11 is now widely available via the Store Microsoft's brand new PC Manager could actually slow down your PC Copilot will soon explain what you're reading in Notepad Audacity gets AI transcription and noise suppression courtesy of Intel OpenVINO plug-ins This fantastic File Explorer alternative now has its own list view YouTube's new Shorts feature is a direct attack on TikTok OpenAI's new Sora text-to-video model can make shockingly realistic content - Marques Brownlee's 12 Minute YouTube Video Google Gallows & Chrome Coroner Google Chrome's Android-like media player is just about ready Google One now has more than 100 million subscribers Google's Reading Mode app now works in Gmail and social media apps Hate replying to emails?

If the touchpad is annoying, you can adjust it or turn it off completely.
To describe this product, the BrailleDoodle has an array of hundreds of holes, and each hole contains a smooth metal ball that can be pulled to the surface by a magnetic stylus. A tiny spring under each ball holds it up with just the proper force, and the user simply pushes the balls back down to erase what's been written. On the Doodle side, there is plenty of room to enjoy what some call "The Etch-a-Sketch for the blind." It's also a place where, unlike any other product, graphs can be made and manipulated. The Braille side has examples of letters, numbers, and words, with plenty of space to practice Braille writing. As a teacher and long-time Braille reader, this device interested Matthew, so he reached out to Daniel, the CEO. They have had several hours of insightful conversations, and Matthew has now been appointed the Chief Experience Officer of The TouchPad Pro Foundation. Their innovation, the BrailleDoodle, hopes to enhance education, and make learning fun at home or at school. The price of $75 is unheard of for a device with these capabilities. Anyone can preorder one or more for themselves, their organization, or as a donation. After years in development, the Foundation launched the BrailleDoodle Pre-sale Kickstarter on May 2nd, which was National Teachers' Day. This low price ends on June 18th. The TouchPad Pro Foundation is a registered non-profit, and all donations are tax-deductible, even on Kickstarter. Creating access to tactile art and making learning fun puts children on the path to a successful education, and therefore, a better future.

Regular listeners to our podcast will know that we love exploring new and innovative technology. We've been keeping an eye on developments in the world of multi-line refreshable Braille for a while now and are delighted to devote this episode to a new and emerging device called the TouchPad Pro. Stuart meets the TouchPad Pro's inventor Daniel Lubiner to learn more. The vision for the TouchPad Pro is to: Experience illustrations, graphs, photographs, and selfies. For example, feel a face rise out of the surface with the contours of the nose, eyes and cheeks. Read and write anywhere with 12 lines of refreshable Braille. Experience the Internet like never before. View, feel and zoom in on a full-colour tactile display. Use a specialized stylus to instantly create, touch, and save tactile drawings with multi-sensory feedback.
Federico Faggin has led what he calls four lives: as a physicist, engineer and inventor, entrepreneur, and author. He developed the MOS silicon gate technology at Fairchild (1968) and designed the world's first microprocessor at Intel (1971). Faggin also founded and led Zilog, Synaptics, and other high-tech companies. The Zilog Z80 microprocessor (1976), and the Z8 microcontroller (1978) are still in volume production in 2021. At Synaptics he pioneered the Touchpad (1994) and the Touchscreen (1999), - solutions that have revolutionized the way we interface with mobile devices.Federico has received many prizes and awards in the United States, Europe, and Japan. These include the Marconi Prize (1988), the Kyoto Prize for Advanced Technology (1997), and the National Medal of Technology and Innovation (2009), from President Barack Obama. In 1996, Faggin was inducted in the National Inventor's Hall of Fame. He has also received many honorary degrees in Computer Science and Electronic EngineeringFederico is currently president of the Federico and Elvia Faggin Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the scientific study of consciousness, an interest that has become a passionate full-time activity. In 2019, Federico published his autobiography SILICON, through Mondadori, Italy's premier book publisher, where it has been a bestseller.

GNOME 40 is out and we chat with the project's Executive Director about the technical and visual improvements in the new release. Plus the facts around RMS's return to the FSF board, and our analysis of the situation. Special Guest: Neil McGovern.
Have you noticed that there is a constant cycle of new product releases? Organizational quarterly results often drive these releases. Cars, smartphone devices, home automation products, applications all follow this pattern of release cycles. I believe the fear of being left behind is what draws people to upgrades. They don't want to pull out an old generation of a phone or drive an outdated car. Fast Release Cycles In most companies, product managers will make incremental changes while portraying them as revolutionary upgrades. They put minor innovations into releases to get customers to buy the upgraded version nine months later. Companies have made it a standard operating procedure to launch numerous releases of the same product with minor cosmetic changes. One example of this comes by way of Canon's cameras. Canon has a top-rated camera called the Canon Rebel that came out in 1990. Between 1990 and 2004, Canon released eleven versions of the Rebel. New versions of the product came out in 92', 93', 96', and 99'. The subsequent three releases (2002, 2003, and 2004) went through two releases per year. Here, you can see Canon accelerating releases of the Rebel's next version on an annual basis. Another example of an accelerating release cycle comes from the Apple iPod. From 2002-2007, there was a new release of the iPod every year. The iPhone updates at a similar rate. While these are some common examples, these fast release cycles also occur in other industries. They can be attached to fashion, home appliances, automobiles, and various things besides consumer electronics. Do Faster Release Cycles Hurt Innovation? Inside organizations, innovators want to create revolutionary products. The pressure to pump up sales comes from shortening release cycles with recorded quarterly profits. Pumping up products becomes a drug that many organizations get hooked on. It conveys a false sense of innovation capability to shareholders and investors. Organizations that get hung up on fast releases fail to make long-term investments into revolutionary products. They feed into the next release cycle, hurting innovation efforts along the way. Here is a personal example of a product I was involved in that was negatively affected by fast release cycles. The product was the 2011 HP Touchpad, based on some ongoing tablet work. As the CTO, I pushed for the creation while leading the Palm acquisition's due diligence. After the 2011 HP Touchpad was released, the board of directors discontinued it seven weeks later. Internal organizational fighting is what led to the ruin of the product. Proponents for traditional product release cycles were firmly anti-new products. They came out in force, preventing dollars from going to new products. They wanted the spending dumped into traditional HP laptop and printer products. These conventional products are low risk but don't add much value to products. At this time, HP valued good quarterly numbers over long time growth and the transformation of lives. Ultimately, this mindset resulted in the death of many other innovative products. Advice for Innovation Leaders As an innovation leader, you need to avoid falling into this trap. Incremental changes to existing products are not innovation but artificial marketing. Following the discontinue of the Touchpad, I announced that I was leaving HP. Dealing with the innovation antibodies in this situation was very frustrating. While this case was extreme, this is often the reality of innovation efforts. As we have seen, faster release schedules hurt innovation. The law of patience says that innovation takes longer than you think. Trying to force it into a release schedule is incrementalism, not innovation. The law of resources says that you should not tie your resource commitment to a release or budget cycle. An organization that focuses on accelerating release cycles is not doing proper innovation. As an innovator, it is crucial to fight the urge to be like everyone else.
Es bastante normal, al menos con Manjaro Linux, que una actualización afecte al Kernel y por ende, al funcionamiento del equipo. Puede dejar de funcionar el TouchPad o incluso no cargarse el entorno gráfico. Cuando pasa eso, no hay que entrar en pánico si hemos tenido la precaución de guardar un par de Kernels anteriores con los que el equipo nos funcionaba perfecto. Seguro que en la siguiente actualización se corrige el problema. Así es el mundillo Linux ;-)
Phil, Kevin, Derek, Dan, and Rene discuss why carriers keep getting in the way of our gadgets, how big a phone can get before it's a tablet, what does a $99 TouchPad fire sale means, will Windows 8 really be no compromises, the value of music lockers, and what does an Apple without Steve Jobs as CEO mean for the industry? This is Mobile Nations!
Phil, Kevin, Tim, Dan, and Rene talk Google vs. Microsoft patent slap-fight, new BlackBerrys (new BlackBerrys!!), waiting on Pre 3 and the TouchPad 3.0.2 update, and Apple eating all the mobile profits. This is Mobile Nations!
Kevin, Phil, and Rene discuss whether or not Google should buy RIM, how BlackBerry can fight back, is Google MIA in the patent wars, Google+ is here, the TouchPad has landed, and will there be a second new iPad this year?
