How BlackBerry Is Turning A Hardware Failure To Security Success

Yes, John Chen failed to turnaround BlackBerry’s phone hardware business. However, BlackBerry’s four consecutive quarters of positive EPS is prima facie evidence that Chen’s software-centric strategy is working. While it is not the ideal scenario projected three years ago, Chen has indeed transformed BlackBerry into a viable company again. By going software-only (TCL communications is now the licensed builder of BlackBerry phones), BlackBerry can focus on improving its security-focused software products. I am very bullish about BlackBerry’s Unified Endpoint Management [UEM] enterprise software package. Read more.



Glu Mobile Might Have A Ballpark Commercial Hit On Its Hands

The raiding theme/concept is why The Walking Dead TV series is also the highest-rated show on Earth. It appeals to the ancient hunter-killer instinct of humans. My guesstimate is that Last Day Alive can contribute $2 to $10 million in monthly bookings next year. Glu Mobile only needs to properly market this new game through TV ads and mobile/online ad placements. Last Day Alive could become a sure commercial hit if Glu Mobile hires Norman Reedus (actor who plays Daryl in The Walking Dead) to promote it. If not, Andrew Lincoln. Daryl and Rick are definitely the most famous actors in The Walking Dead. They have millions of loyal fans which could be steered toward downloading Last Day Alive. Read more.



Why HP Is Still Dominating The PC Vendor Market Race

Lenovo used to rule the PC market. However, HP’s recent inventive PC designs is why Lenovo is now only playing second-fiddle. Products like the Omen X VR Backpack exemplify the innovative push of HP, Inc. Announced only last June, the 10-pound Omen X VR Pack is shipping out now. It is intended for gamers who want to enjoy Virtual Reality games or apps. Virtual Reality games and software require people to put on headsets. It makes sense therefore for HP to sell a backpack-based laptop so that users can experience a more immersive time in Virtual Reality. The pleasure of Virtual Worlds requires you to move around. This is only possible if you use a computer like the Omega X VR Backpack. Read more.



The Stock Market & The Chaos That Drives It

Creating a model of chaotic systems using mathematics is difficult due, in part, to what is commonly referred to as the Butterfly Effect. Smalls changes in parameters can cause drastic changes in the outcome, just as something as simple as a butterfly fluttering its wings can ultimately result in something as monumental as a world war. However, the presence of gradual trends and the rarity of drastic events, such as we see in the stock market, can be modeled using the “1/f noise model.” The basic principle behind this model is that the magnitude of the event is inversely proportional to its frequency. In other words, the more frequently an event occurs, the smaller its impact on the system. 1/f noise is created by random shocks to the system, as well as the combined effects of separate but interrelated processes.

How Deep Learning Is Looking To Change Finance Forever

Deep learning, a specific offset branch of machine learning that is becoming more popular by the day as more scientists and people begin understanding the mass array of capabilities that lie within it. Essentially, it truly emulates the idea that machines, or algorithmic technologies can become self-learning after being given a specific set of inputs. For example, if an algorithm is given a picture of a cat it will be able to identify future pictures, and determine whether it fits the qualifications to as well be a cat. The main idea is that scientists would like to be able to expand the realm of market the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, or AI, how it revolutionizes the world. Deep learning is meant to mimic the human neural network, which itself is massively complex. Read More.
