Xbox still make sense in a mobile gaming world?

Image
There was once a time when Xbox was the dream of every child and gaming was not cool without an Xbox at home . However, those moments belong to a different decade as the last ten years have quite clearly changed what you understand as gaming. That is why, in all probability, Microsoft left no stones un-turned in releasing the all new Xbox by using all the popularity stunts possible. The event was grand enough, but the 500 dollar price tag asked a pertinent question. Is the day for Xbox gone? Or are they truly numbered? Whatever be the case, the grandeur perhaps gave away the emptiness that surrounded the occasion. Microsoft claimed to be a dream object for serious gamers, but is serious gaming even possible in today's world? More importantly, what does the statistics say? The statistics hardly lies, and in this case, it points to an overwhelming percentage dedicated to mobile gaming. Mobile games share as much as 42 percent of the total revenue that gaming industry has generated. S...

Close look at Data Scientist vs Data Engineer

Image
Data science is now one of the most influential topics all around. Companies and enterprises are focusing a lot on gathering data science talent further creating more viable roles in the data science industry. It has also been stated that data science and data scientist are the two most popular career tracks as of now. Since the advent of big data industry, the roles were very blurred since the main objective was to get the insights. But due to a recent change in perspectives, a lot has been written about the difference between the different data science roles, and more specifically about the difference between data scientists and data engineers. The role of the data scientist and that of a data engineer will now be discussed thoroughly with intricacy. Work and Responsibilities Data engineer's responsibilities A data engineer is he/she who indulges in the art of construction, development, and maintaining the architecture of databases and large-scale processing systems. They also ...

Semiconductor industry is moving towards automotive business

Image
Sometimes, certain industries start feeding each other the necessary demand and supply nexus that each business needs. Such has been the case with automobile industry and semiconductor development business where automobile industry is increasingly adopting state-of-the-art semiconductor technology to renovate the very idea of the car. Statistics don't lie and currently vehicles consume 10 percent of electronic semiconductor production around the world. As more computation, more sensory capability and more connectivity becomes the obsession, the presence of semiconductors seem inevitable to an extent with only increase in sight. From microprocessors to micro controllers to simple IC chips, vehicle industry may well lead the semiconductor consumption in near future. Why such demand? Of course, behind every story of increased demand lies a story of new necessities that arise because of certain changes. Automobile industry is trying to open new horizons by ensuring safety and security...

Machine Learning help us in identifying the origin of several Medical Syndromes?

Image
Machine learning is doing wonders currently and its latest effort has been invested in locating the roots of various medical syndromes. In a recent study, several syndromes like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Gulf-war Syndrome, and Post-Accutane syndrome etc. has been studied from the perspective of their genetic origins, pathways and other factors. Machine learning has been applied on the researcher data and their abstracts and with the help of natural language processing and network analysis, this conclusion has been achieved. Several topics like Sulfation, Carboxylation, and Adrenal deficiency came up in this process, and they criss-crossed each other too at times. Vitamin K metabolism also came up in this situation and it has been treated as a foundational step in the hypotheses. The associations in this regard come handy in the network analysis further on. Then, the central nodes are identified accordingly. While there are certain areas where the connections are denser and vitamin K a...

Apple Inc. to Stay Ahead of Competition in Chip Manufacturing Tech

Image
The iDevice can be one of the very first technologies for adopting new technologies for manufacture. Apple has become very aggressive about moving to the latest technologies of chip manufacturing which is available in the market for the last few years. It has been the very first opportunity for the company to make use of the twenty nanometre technology which is available for a processor that has a very high volume. It was also the first to view the 16 nanometre technology provided by the company. Situation in the Market However, it may be seen to be quite interesting that the company is not the very first to make use of the upcoming technology which is powered by 10 nanometres. It is a wireless chip maker called MediaTek. There were many rumours about this being one of the very first technologies to have viewed as well as used the recent developments in the line. However, it seems that not many companies which make smart phones are interested in this particular chip. However, now the...

Virtual private clouds offer an alternative to on-premises computing

Image
Today the many benefits of a public cloud domain are understood by most enterprises. However, many such enterprises still prefer to have a cloud in an environment for a single user.

4 types of social media analytics ..

Image
Social media has become pervasive as a market space in recent times and there is little doubt that it will surely become the largest, and probably the most unpredictable market there is right now. Because of its rich diversity, it is important to use analytical tools on social media carefully. Not all tools fit all the data and hence, four distinct types of analytical procedures have emerged out of this scenario. Analysts have realized the infinite possibility of social media and its exponential ability to spread the news and hence, they have categorized such data explosion according to the needs and their potentials. Descriptive analytics Among social media analytics or SMA, descriptive type is probably the simplest that gives account of the proceedings in the social media by aggregating data in terms of visualizations, reports and clustering. To formulate a business opportunity, such type of analytics works on readily available data like user comments to understand the trends, moods...

63% of Orgs Use Cloud, IoT Without Proper Security

Image
Security- the buzzword that accompanies every discussion regarding cloud, IoT and big data is surely becoming a major concern day by day as more and more companies are joining the exodus without taking the necessary measures. Recently, a harrowing report displayed a staggering 63% of the data that enterprises around the globe circulate in the name of IoT, cloud and big data are done so without minimal security in between. The funny thing is, only a year ago, security became this object of concern that was troubling everybody apparently and suddenly, some wave has washed it off. Everyone is applying big data over the cloud and exchanging data in the name of IoT without any security solutions at place and the concern has gone out of the window. While it still shows a good 59% people, it is a major drop from the erstwhile 70% and only points to the changing equation. The nature of concerns While security remains the biggest concern on paper, several other concerns have emerged interesting...

Cognitive computing technologies still deliver mixed results

Image
During the initial days of the various intelligent technologies, there was an anticipatory mood that it will completely revolutionize everything around the IT world and have an impact on the larger peripheries too. However, this is precisely the problem of over anticipation as cognitive computing has done wonderful things but not really revolutionized everything. It is delivering mixed results with constant innovation in process. Organizations, however, are doing their best to ensure that Artificial Intelligence remains strictly in focus with cognitive computing getting the boost necessary for it to flourish. IBM's effort to establish itself as one of the pioneers and eventual leaders in this domain can only be seen as an extension of this process as it attempts to lure more and more businesses in this field. How to do more with such technology? Cognitive computing is like a newborn kid which can grow up to become anything and its sheer unpredictability makes it an easy tool of ex...
