Researchers at Aalborg University, along with folks at MIT and Caltech, have working on a better solution.

We have all had our fair share of disappointment in thumb drives over the years, including shoddy construction, low performance, durability issues, and gimmicky software.

The post Intel Says Companies Should Update Their Outdated PCs appeared first on Futurelooks.
Over the course of the last few years, we have watched the PC market shipment numbers drop every quarter. This is mostly due to the large number of mobile device sales taking the place of desktop PC sales. Many stores minimized the desktop offerings in favor of more stylish mobile items like tablets. Well, Intel analysis says this is coming to an end and they expect that now 12% shipping margin to rise by almost 5% this year.
