Nvidia Lays Out Bold Strategy at CES
Nvidia offered a bold new strategy at this week's International CES in
Las Vegas. The company, which has been a leader in hardware graphics
technology for decades, recently has expanded into the realms of
artificial intelligence, deep learning and automotive tech. Graphical
support and video delivery will however remain a key component of the
company's strategy, according to Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang.

Floating Speakers, Neckbrace Audio, and Charming Caffeine Fixes
LG features twice in this edition of the column with two very different
but similarly strange speakers. The "Levitating Portable Speaker" has as
descriptive and accurate a name as the "Small Transparent Speaker" from
last month's edition of this column. You can call it "PJ9" if you prefer
the duller moniker. Yes, through the magic of electromagnets and a base
station, this speaker will levitate and pump out audio in every
direction.

Crowd Forms on Alexa Bandwagon
New additions to Amazon's growing ecosystem of Alexa-based products are
making a splash at CES this week. With a growing number of home
appliance, computer and electronics makers announcing integrations with
the company's digital assistant technology, the transformation to
automated homes and home offices appears to be taking place before our
eyes. Among the most notable integrations is Lenovo's Smart Assistant.

Google, FCA Test-Drive New Open Source Infotainment System
Google and FCA this week showcased a new in-auto infotainment platform
at CES in Las Vegas. The open source system combines Uconnect with
Android Auto. The companies demonstrated their concept design inside a
Chrysler 300 sedan at the show. The integration of Android and Uconnect
enables a system built for connectivity and compatibility with the
universe of popular Android applications.

Snapdragon-Powered AR Smartglasses Are the Real Deal
Qualcomm on Tuesday debuted its groundbreaking Snapdragon 835 system on
a chip at CES. Following the 835 launch, the company joined Osterhout
Design Group in unveiling two new ODG augmented reality headsets, the R-
8 and R-9, which are the first Snapdragon 835-powered devices to be
announced. The Snapdragon SoC is the first chip built using the ultra-
advanced 10nm FinFET process node.

Lenovo Surprises With Home Tech Play
Lenovo watchers expected the company to announce a number of new laptops
when CES rolled around, but the company surprised on Tuesday when it
also unveiled new products aimed at the home technology market. "The
Smart Assistant and Smart Storage line probably caught everyone off
guard," said Patrick Moorhead, principal analyst at Moor Insights and
Strategy.
