A Dog-Tracking Gizmo With a Novel Networking Technology

May 26, 2014 / / 0 Comments

The next-gen Whistle dog tracker will be among the first products to tap into an emerging low-power cellular network. Image: Whistle Wi-Fi blankets our homes; speedy cell networks keep us connected everywhere else. Bluetooth Low Energy is poised to bring an unprecedented degree of locational awareness to our devices. Still, no single technology will be adequate for powering the whole of the internet of things. Tomorrow’s smart devices will need to be wirelessly multilingual, able to communicate not just many different networks but many different kinds of networks. They’ll need to be selective in their connectivity, tapping different technologies for different tasks to balance performance and battery life. In other words, they’ll need to be as clever as this doggie activity…

Data Discovery Technology Nets DataPad $1.7 Million

May 26, 2014 / / 0 Comments

Take a guy who literally wrote the book on Python programming tools and add some of venture capitals’ top investors and you have the recipe for DataPad, a new data discovery technology vendor that just raised $1.7 million. DataPad was founded in 2013 by Wes McKinney, who wrote “Python for Data Analysis” (believe me, it’s apparently a big deal among Python programmers) and creator of Pandas, and Chang She, who was a core developer of Pandas and a former data science instructor at Columbia University. Since its launch the two have managed to wrangle $1.7 million in very early stage funding from big name investors including Accel Partners, Google Ventures, a16z Seed Fund, SV Angel, Ludlow Ventures, and angel investors including Jeff Hammerbacher, Tom …

The Specs On This 1970 IBM Mainframe Will Remind You Just How Far Technology Has Come

May 26, 2014 / / 0 Comments

IBM maintains an awesome archive of its history, collecting various documents and media it’s released since being founded in 1911. We were especially intrigued by this 1970 press release singing the praises of System/370 Model 145, a mainframe computer that was state of the art at the time of its inception. It had 500 KB of RAM, 233 megabytes of hard disk space, and ran at 2.5 MHz. It took up an entire room. Nowadays, this computer would be able to store a small collection of photos and (slowly) access them. Not much else! You could double its 32,000 characters of control storage to 64,000 by “using a portion of main memory, if needed, to accommodate optionally available functions.” Adjusted for inflation, this computer would cost you between $4.3 million and $10.8 million in …

Tech Time Warp of the Week: Watch AT&T Invent Cloud Computing in 1994

May 26, 2014 / / 0 Comments

Who invented cloud computing? Some say it was Amazon in 2006. Others say it was Google a few years earlier. But it’s all a matter of perspective. We have video proof that cloud computing was really invented in 1994 by AT&T. In the classic promotional film above – complete with some snappy cartoon art – pitches something it calls PersonaLink Services. This was a kind of online platform that used artificial intelligence to remake our lives by way of emerging portable computers such as the Apple Newton and the AT&T EO Personal Communicator. But since that’s a little hard to wrap your around, AT&T pulled out the cloud metaphor – something that had long been used among networking and telecom types. You can think…
