With all the hysteria in the media about Internet of Things (IOT) recently I thought it might be a good idea to initiate some discussion on some of the higher end items as the media seems to only focus on routers and items that no one has ever heard of. On to my comments on…
It is a very common theme in tech media and podcasting these days to refer to the post-pc era or that the PC is dying. I agree that the desktop PC market is shrinking, but the need for workstation grade computers is not. Content creators regardless of the media type (video, games, text, graphics or…
