And in fact, the reliable Blass had tweeted the previous week that Sept. 16 would be the date of Apple’s retail release.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Initial State, powerful data capture and analytics for your IoT infrastructure

A few posts ago I reviewed Cayenne, an IoT Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution that really impressed me. Today, I have a sort of competing service that has also impresses me: Initial State.

It seems that to many people the concept of framing their subject is a an alien concept and the value of a smooth tracking shot pretty much unknown (it seems that way too many videos we see were shot by people suffering from uncontrollable seizures). Perhaps one day smartphone and action cam video systems will have built-in AI that will frame shots expertly as they automatically compensate for the shaking but until then, anyone who wants to produce decent video footage needs to get the right tools and techniques.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Tech boosts the fan experience at U.S. Bank Stadium

The new $1.1 billion home of the Minnesota Vikings aims to deliver the space and technology for the ultimate fan experience. It has the requisite modern stadium features – slick club spaces, luxury suites, and a wide range of food and beverage options – plus some unique additions, including an interactive exhibit space that lets visitors test their athletic prowess, a fantasy-football video board so ticket-holders can keep tabs on all the league action, and a transparent roof that helps flood the space with natural light without exposing occupants to Minnesota’s bitter winter temps. "We didn’t want to get caught in the trap of saying this is the most advanced stadium around, because the reality is that a lot of what we're putting in the stadium, there are bits and pieces of it that are being used all over the world in some way, shape or form,” said John Penhollow, vice president of corporate & technology partnerships with the Minnesota Vikings. “That said, how could we bundle all of the stuff… in such a way that it enhances the experience?"To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
