The CTIA conference is considered one the year's premier events for the mobile and wireless industry. While part of the show focused on trends and government regulation of wireless technology, there were also plenty of opportunities to see the latest and greatest in gadgets. And HTC, Samsung, Dell and Research In Motion had their tablets and smartphones front and center.

While there are a number of women CEOs, including Yahoo's Carol Bartz and Xerox's Ursula Burns, the bulk of female power in the tech world seems to be concentrated in the vice presidents, COOs and CTOs. But that's not a bad place to be, considering where women were only a few short years ago.

However, organizations should also keep an eye on Google's Chrome, which tends to match Firefox in features and performance, and offers Group Policy-based management support that Firefox 4 lacks. But so far, people seem to be drawn to Firefox 4 based on the impressive numbers of downloads Mozilla has recorded. If you need more reasons to give it a try, just look at how IE9 falls short when compared to Firefox 4. Geolocational Customer Data a Boon for Business
Big data gives businesses and social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter, a better understanding of trends and customer behavior. However, what brings this data into focus is analyzing geolocational information to determine where people will be at a given time, said an IBM scientist. Privacy issues aside, such "space-time-travel" analyses offer huge promise to businesses. Oracle Ends Itanium Support, Drawing Ire of Intel and HP
Oracle will no longer write software for Intel's Itanium chips, saying Intel is planning to end development of the platform. The statement drew a harsh rebuke from Intel CEO Paul Otellini, who said the company has a long Itanium roadmap. HP, which recently announced it is putting Itanium in its new Integrity NonStop BladeSystem, also attacked Oracle's move, calling it a "shameless gambit" that will hurt customers. | |
