"I can't attribute Larrabee's delay to one thing," Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist at In-Stat, told TechNewsWorld. "Intel was trying to develop a new hardware technology with a new software programming model, which is a very complex task." Few new technologies make ...
Most likely, the operating system is waiting for ARM-based hardware to come out, Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist with In-Stat, told LinuxInsider Currently, "all the solutions are x86-based, for the most part," McGregor explained. "There are OEMs that have announced n...
"I can understand the frustration of News Corp. They say Google and others are stealing their content, especially if people aren't going to their sites so they can make some ad revenue," said In-Stat chief technology strategist Jim McGregor. "But it's probably a better idea to add more value to bring them to your site than try to block the searches."
Google's taking a big gamble with this approach, but if it wins, it will win big. "When you control both the hardware and software, you have to ask yourself how you will define a PC five years from now and what it will do," Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist at In-Stat, pointed out.
Market share figures from more established Web survey companies like ComScore and Nielsen continue to show Bing with higher market share numbers, according to Jim McGregor, senor technology strategiest for In-Stat. Still, "I would at least let it go through the fourth quarter" and the holiday shopping season before analyzing Bing's staying power, McGregor told TechNewsWorld. "The fourth quarter is obviously important for e-commerce, especially for consumers. You typically want to see one or two quarters (of activity), but the most important ones come in the last half of the year. That's when you're going to see consumer trends, as we get through the fourth quarter. That's going to be a better judge of how well Bing is doing."
"The announcement is critical to maintaining an open standard, and I'm sure that Microsoft is also doing it to appease government regulators," said Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist for In-Stat "Please, note, however, that Microsoft placed some very specific restrictio...
A plethora of devices that connect to the Web are under development, according to Jim McGregor, chieftechnology strategist for In-Stat. Although he has not seen the Delldevice, he has heard that one was under development "The Dell device is more like the [iPod touch], and ther...
Wind River's development of its specialized hypervisor is more about keeping up with rivals than for gaining a solid advantage over them, according to Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist for research firm In-Stat "It's almost like they have to have it. It is almost a req...
Distributing free energy software may be little more than aself-serving gesture by Google, Jim McGregor, chief technologystrategist for In-Stat, suggested. It remains to be seen whether there isany connection between educating consumers and convincing them to actually consume lower levels of power...
Rather than go out and design a completely new quad-core chip, Shanghai is really an upgraded version of Barcelona with some enhancements in virtualization and increased speeds. Those are the results of moving to a 45-nm layout and re-architecting parts of the cores, explained Jim McGregor, another InStat analyst...
"Most of the industry has been heading toward foundry models for the past 15 years. Just in the past few years, [Texas Instruments], [STMicroelectronics], Infineon, IBM and many others have gone to a fabless or fab-light model," Jim McGregor, an analyst at InStat, told the E-Commerce Times...
However, the biggest problem with fuel cells is that they have to be renewed, argued Jim McGregor, an In-Stat analyst "With fuel cells, you're using something to create energy. Whatever you use -- whether it be sugar, whether it be hydrogen or whether it be whatever -- you hav...
"Everybody has been looking at hydrogen. And hydrogen is a great solution, as are all inert gases, because as you burn it, it basically turns into water vapor. It really doesn't hurt the environment at all," explained Jim McGregor, an analyst at In-Stat In addition to using di...
"This is a focus of new programming models and new computer architectures," Jim McGregor, an analyst at In-Stat, told TechNewsWorld. "It is great to see this type of innovation in the market now, because where we're going in the next few years will be phenomenal "For the first...
"We have a lot of people trying to position different processing architectures. You've got Nvidia trying to position the GPU with CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture), which is basically a programming structure to use it as an accelerator, as a general purpose CPU (central processing unit) or whatever," Jim McGregor, an analyst at In-Stat, told TechNewsWorld. "Basically what Intel is doing is trying to leverage the x86 architecture in a way that it has not been leveraged before, as really kind of a head-end core to a high-end processing element that can be used as a server accelerator, as a graphics accelerator."
Indeed, "all this stuff is great, but we have to remember that we already have billions upon billions upon billions invested in the silicon manufacturing technologies we have in place today," Jim McGregor, research director and principal analyst with In-Stat, told TechNewsWorld. "Even if this new technology can be produced on the technologies we have today, it probably has a 25 percent chance -- or less -- of actually coming to market."
That's all just smoke and mirrors: "I think Microsoft will keep XP alive because they've got sufficient feedback from the corporate environment, and that's a critical part of the market," Jim McGregor, research director and principal analyst at In-Stat, told TechNewsWorld. "They're not stupid."
"There is a percentage of the market there that consists of international corporations and some of the large international corporations would not be exempt from licensing issues if they were raided," Jim McGregor, research director and principal analyst at In-Stat, told LinuxInsider...
Parallel processing is essential because "every processor architecture is now available in multi-core configurations," Jim McGregor, research director and principal analyst at In-Stat, told TechNewsWorld. "Programming, however, remains a challenge, which is why there is interest in research and development at the university level."
"In Japan, you can use your cell phone as an electronic wallet; you can use RFID; you can use all kinds of things -- but you have to have something that's transmitting information," Jim McGregor, a research director at In-Stat, told the E-Commerce Times While capturing URLs fr...
