US Government Forging Ahead With Airport Facial Recognition Plans
Plans to bring facial recognition to major U.S. airports by 2021 are on
a fast flight path, despite concerns about the new technology's
readiness. President Trump in 2017 issued an executive order expediting
the deployment of biometric verification of the identities of all
travelers crossing U.S. borders. It stipulates that facial recognition
identification be used in the top 20 U.S. airports.

The Strange Tech Wars of 2019
The tech market is defined by its battles: Microsoft vs. IBM; Apple vs.
Microsoft; Netscape vs. Microsoft; Google vs. Microsoft. If Microsoft
were a person, it likely would have PTSD. Then there was Apple vs.
Google, and now the big one is Apple vs. Qualcomm. The screwy thing for
me is that Huawei represents a far greater threat to both companies than
they represent to each other.

Structural Shifts in Semiconductor Industry Spawn New Trends
Long-term trends in the technology segment are often the result of
structural change. One such change in the semiconductor space was the
shift to outsourcing specialized functions, including technology
development in the form of intellectual property, chip design,
fabrication, and packaging and test. That change has sparked a trend
toward customization.
