David Smith, who managed over $100 billion in partner-driven revenue at Microsoft, has joined Google. The move signals Google’s aggressive push to compete with Microsoft’s massive partner ecosystem. Smith was among CRN’s 2025 Channel Chiefs before making the switch.
Embedded devices “think” by managing data much like humans process information – through sensory input, working memory, and long-term storage. The key difference comes down to whether they’re using microcontrollers or microprocessors, each with radically different capabilities. This determines every
Researchers have successfully simulated the folding of 23 out of 26 RNA stem-loops using advanced computational methods. This breakthrough in molecular dynamics could dramatically accelerate RNA-based drug discovery for conditions like COVID-19 and genetic disorders.
Snowflake is launching a comprehensive platform strategy that moves beyond traditional RAG limitations. The new Agentic Document Analytics can handle complex analytical queries across thousands of documents simultaneously.
AI workloads are causing unprecedented power quality issues that go beyond traditional harmonics. Subharmonics from rapid load pulsing can destabilize equipment and feed dirty power back into the grid. New capacitive energy storage systems are emerging as potential solutions.
The world’s largest sovereign wealth fund has voted against Elon Musk’s proposed $1 trillion stock award at Tesla. Norway’s fund cited concerns about the package’s size and dilution as Tesla’s stock dropped over 4% following the announcement.
Samsung is targeting 130 trillion won ($90.3 billion) in mobile division sales for 2026, including 240 million smartphones. But component cost inflation makes price hikes for the Galaxy S26 series “inevitable.” This creates a direct conflict with their ambitious growth targets.
According to Forbes, mandatory inclusionary zoning schemes like Chicago’s Affordable Requirements Ordinance have dramatically suppressed housing supply. Over 20 years, these programs have consistently failed while politicians keep doubling down on the same failed approach.
A new approach to AI and robotics is emerging that could challenge the centralized model favored by giants like OpenAI. Swarm intelligence uses many smaller systems working together to outperform single, massive models. The results are already showing promise in everything from reasoning tests to me
Amazon is building a massive new transatlantic subsea cable called Fastnet that will connect County Cork to Maryland. The 320 terabit-per-second cable is scheduled to be operational by 2028, representing a major infrastructure investment in transatlantic connectivity.
