Intel's recent demonstration of a 28-core processor running at 5GHz has certainly stirred the pot here at Computex, particularly because the presentation appeared to imply this would be a shipping chip with a 5.0GHz stock speed. "Oh no. I forgot to say the demo was overclocked. Do you think if we tell them now, they'll believe us?"

Google, reeling from an employee protest over the use of artificial intelligence for military purposes, said Thursday that it would not use A.I. for weapons or for surveillance that violates human rights. But it will continue to work with governments and the military. "We're just working with the military in their fuzzier, cuddlier programs."

Its many thousands of AI-optimized chips from Nvidia and IBM can handle demanding tasks, such as crunching through mountains of reports and medical images to help unearth hidden causes of diseases.

The VPNFilter malware that infected over 500,000 routers and NAS devices across 54 countries during the past few months is much worse than previously thought. I have a bad feeling about this.

Cisco said last month that VPNFilter does not use zero days to infect devices, meaning all the listed models are vulnerable via exploits against older firmware releases, and updating to the latest firmware version keeps devices out of the malware's reach. Not quite as bad as it may seem at first glance. They also make no mention of popular custom firmware so I imagine it targets the factory default.

For a generation, Americans have been outsourcing work to India, where companies like Infosys grew bigger than Facebook and Google combined and created a new middle class. It seemed as though the boom would last forever. Infosys founder: The challenge of reinventing a company is like “changing the wheels of an aircraft midflight.”

Why aren’t people starting more startups? That might seem like a weird question to ask, in an age when Silicon Valley ventures are hot commodities and money and talent is flooding into machine learning companies. But in fact, Americans don’t start businesses like they used to My skepticism sense is tingling.

Being something of a child of the 70's, starting a business has always meant to me taking huge risks knowing you will make no money in the first three years and hoping that by the end of the three years you may start to break even and perhaps see a profit in year five.
However the word 'startup' has connotations of immense wealth, innovation and now even unicorns have found their way into the language.

The days of creating an OS in your garage (a freaking OS mind you, ok, so it was DOS, but there's still the word "OS" in DOS) are long gone. Nowadays, writing even a simple app that you want to bring to market is almost impossible. Kudos to those that succeed, like Slack.

They key word there is "people." Nowadays, it takes a small army.

What is the best career advice you’ve ever received? Odds are it wasn’t from an annual performance review. You probably don't want to share this with your manager just 'before' a performance review. Better to do it 'during.'
