Confusion as a Service Is Ruling The Container Land

Containers as a Service, often referred to CaaS, is the latest delivery model of cloud computing. It involves exposing the entire container management platform as a hosted service, delivered through a self-service model. Similar to IaaS that exposes the building blocks of infrastructure, and PaaS, which delivers the runtime and frameworks, CaaS aims to bring lifecycle management of containerized workloads to IT and developers.

Citizen Developers: Low Code Is Now Enterprise-Class

This difference of opinion over just how sophisticated the apps citizen developers build, in fact, is at the heart of many executives’ concerns about the trend. After all, the more powerful low code platforms become, the more likely a security or compliance breach or other fiasco might result from citizen developers’ lack of technical expertise.

Yup, ratings are down. Yup, millennials are up for grabs on video viewing. And yup, no one will acknowledge ever watching a commercial. Consequently, as the broadcast networks kick off their annual Upfront presentations for advertisers this week, it seems like a good time to ask: Does anybody still want to be a “network”?

Nvidia Starts The Year On A Strong Note, With Continued Strength In The New Core Businesses

Graphics processor manufacturer Nvidia reported first quarter earnings on May 12th. (Fiscal years end with January.) The results marked a stellar start for fiscal 2017, with its Q1 2017 revenue and earnings per share beating analyst estimates by a wide margin. The stock is up sharply as a result. The company’s Q2 2017 revenue guidance also came in slightly ahead of analyst expectation. Strong performance in the quarter can be attributed to continued growth in gaming (up 17% year over year), data center (up 63% year over year), automotive (up 47% year over year) and professional visualization (up 4% year over year), which more than offset the 21% year-over-year decline in OEM and IP business (mostly owing to the PC decline). The strong revenue growth, improving product mix, and lower restructuring charges helped the company report higher margins (both gross and operating).

Why Micron’s DRAM Business Will Continue To Grow Despite The Declining DRAM Prices

Micron Technology’s stock price has declined by more than 60% over the past year, mainly on account of a weak PC market, disappointing earnings, and concerns about DRAM oversupply. Weak PC demand and the consequent oversupply situation were the primary reasons for the steep decline in DRAM prices in 2015. DRAM prices are expected to continue declining this year as supply outpaces demand.  Nevertheless, we forecast that the rate of decline in Micron’s DRAM revenue to slow in 2016. Additionally, we expect the decline in price to slow in 2017 as well, which will help the company re-accelerate DRAM revenue growth 2017 onward. Contributing as well will be the transition to the 20nm technology, which should allow Micron to gain some market shareas well.

Apple iPhone 7 and its box caught by paparazzi

It’s the season for iPhone 7 leaks and the forecast is for minimal changes – the phone will be the same size, but the antenna setup has been redesigned.

You can see the new design in this leaked photo. There’s just the one camera – the two-camera setup is reserved for the Plus models. This is the Gold color option, by the way, I know the colors of the photo are off, but it is.
