How Robot Malware Brains Work

Posted on by

Advances in software application development designed to protect us against malware evolve positively forward every day, yet the threat of cybercrime continues. But if we understand how ‘malware robots’ use the ‘thought processes’ inside their Artificial Intelligence (AI) robot brains, then surely security developers can protect us better.

2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty: Advanced Engineering + Advanced Technology = Ultimate Capability

Posted on by

Ford’s F-Series, which includes the F-150 light duty pickup as well as the F-250 through F-550 Super Duty range, is up nearly 9 percent this year. Ford sells more F-Series trucks than any other automaker, and given the average F-Series transaction price approaches $50,000 that’s a good segment to dominate. Even better for the Blue Oval’s financial picture, it attained this position before the launch of the all-new 2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty.

Four Lessons From Uber

Posted on by

Last week, the global ride firm Uber announced it was selling its China operations to its competitor, Didi Chuxing (Didi) in return for a 20% share of the new company. Much of the media coverage is critical of Uber, stating that it “lost” and Didi “won.” To my mind, the situation is more ambiguous because Uber had less than 20% of the market share before this merger and it was bleeding cash. So locking Uber in at 20% and stopping the negative cash flow strikes me at least as a tactical win. Had Uber made other mistakes along the way so that it was difficult for them to compete effectively against Didi? Perhaps, but that was not the question in front of them last week.  Milk spilt.
