5+ min ago (967+ words) This year, about 45 percent of the revenues at Big Blue will come from software. But IBM wants to push this up to half of revenues and then onwards from there. IBM also wants to find the modern AI era analogs to its venerable WebSphere application server, which gave it big revenues and relatively easy profits from enterprise customers during the commercial Internet era. IBM has always been a builder of platforms, and the wonder is not that IBM is buying Confluent, the commercial entity behind the open source Kafka streaming tool and its many augmentations and add-ons, but rather why it took Big Blue so long to get it done. Kafka is exactly the kind of thing that, in decades gone by, Big Blue would have invented and commercialized. The Kafka stream processing platform and distributed event storage system was…...

EPOW fell 7.02% while peers showed mixed action: CCTG up 3.97%, but DFLI, FLUX, GWH, and OESX declined between about 710%. Momentum scanner flagged DFLI and CCTG moving up, underscoring that EPOW's drop does not mirror a uniform sector direction. Recent positive operational and patent news has produced mixed price reactions, with roughly similar counts of aligned gains and divergent pullbacks, suggesting investor responses can be inconsistent even on constructive developments. Sunrise stated that the publication of this invention represents another milestone in the Company's technical roadmap for next-generation solid-state battery anode materials. Sunrise aims to establish a more comprehensive solid-state anode materials platform and further strengthen its…...

When he's not jet-setting, he's keeping his eye out for the next best gaming phone, testing the latest Android and iPhone tech, or wasting away on his Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch While we've seen a lot of new Nintendo DS-style clamshell Android gaming handhelds launch in the last 12 months, the Anbernic RG DS might be the most tempting of the bunch, due to its comparatively low price point of $99.99. Some early reviews had us a little concerned, though, with some complaints about software issues. Fortunately, it looks like Anbernic has figured out a solution, and just in time, as shipping is now underway. The 1.4 update of the Anbernic RG DS's native software addresses multiple issues, including a bug that…...

The Trace Line Clock has smooth lines and a clean presentation, with no sockets or visible mechanical fixtures. Reading the clock is quite straightforward once one knows what is going on. At its heart, the unmarked face is much like any other analog clock face, and on the inside is a pretty normal clock movement. The inner recessed track on the face represents hours, and the outer is minutes. The blue line connects the two, drawing a constantly changing line. To make the blue segment move without breaking…...

20+ min ago (147+ words) Dec 8 (Reuters) - India's Tata Electronics has secured Intel as the first prospective customer for its upcoming chip facilities, potentially signalling the U.S. chipmaker's confidence in India's manufacturing ambitions. The electronics-manufacturing arm of the 156-year-old salt-to-software Tata group is investing about $14 billion to build India's first semiconductor fabrication facility in Gujarat state and a chip assembly and testing facility in the state of Assam. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been pushing for India to rival global semiconductor powerhouses such as Taiwan, aiming to make the country a chipmaker for the world despite initial setbacks. Intel and Tata Electronics will also explore the opportunity to rapidly scale AI PC solutions for consumer and enterprise markets in India, which they say is projected to be a global top-five market by 2030.
