Somehow, the Super Bowl enchants in a way few other events can. The business world became aware of this with its usual greedy alacrity. If brands could somehow entertain viewers in the three hours when the ball is actually not in play, then vast amounts of money could be made. Maybe. And so the tradition of the exciting, amusing, powerful, memorable Super Bowl ad was born. How far it’s come....
My esteemed ZDNet colleague, Ed Bott, has done an admirable job of trying to cut through the confusion, but right now, the future is clouded in uncertainty. Even Microsoft’s hinting at expanding the range of hardware that can run Windows 11 does little more than create more uncertainty and doubt for existing Windows 10 users. Vague issues over TPM support and CPU “hard floors” and “soft floors” abound. Adding further to the mess is that you could go out today and drop almost $5,000 on a brand-new Surface Studio 2 and find that you’re stuck on Windows 10 until that ride comes to an end....
Not everyone is happy with Microsoft’s efforts to reshape the Start Menu in Windows 11 – so much so that there is an apparent market for third-party replacements that allow users to change it. The Start Menu has been front and centre in the Windows experience for well over two decades, and so even tiny changes have a big impact on those for whom it’s the first point of contact when running software on Microsoft’s platform....
I visited the Wipro headquarters in 2019 and I was extremely impressed by the innovation, spirit, and soul of this company. I met with several of their key engineering executives. I also had my first ever ride in an autonomous vehicle that was completely designed by Wipro. I also experimented with state-of-the-art augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) industrial, manufacturing, and retail solutions, as well as machine learning and voice-enabled chatbots using Salesforce’s Einstein artificial intelligence (AI) powered CRM applications....
Company officials also said today that the x64 emulation that it has made part of Windows 11 on Arm will only be coming to Windows 11 and not to Windows 10 on Arm. Microsoft originally announced that x64 emulation would be a Windows 10 on Arm feature. Unsurprisingly, Microsoft will be throttling the rollout of Windows 10 21H2, as it typically does these days with new Windows feature updates. That means not every eligible device will get notifications that users can download it immediately; instead, it will be offered first to devices where Microsoft believes users will have a good experience running the update....
At the WWDC keynote, Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, outlined FaceTime updates in iOS 15 that include: Portrait mode.

This year, we expect Apple to walk us through highlights of iOS 15, iPadOS 15, WatchOS 8, MacOS 12, and TVOS 15. In invites sent to members of the press, the event had a tagline of “And away we go.” However, the invites that developers received all said “And away we code.” It’s unclear what either one means or why there were two different taglines, but I’ll leave it up to you to speculate....
It’s not often that these devices come cheap and it can be expensive to start up a home security ecosystem. However, if you’re willing to compromise a little – such as by picking up a refurbished model instead of a brand-new product – prices can substantially drop. The Ring video doorbell is a wired product complete with 1080p HD recording, two-way conversations, 2.4 GHz connectivity, and night vision. You can connect the doorbell to the Ring mobile app to check on your home at any time as well as talk to visitors – expected or otherwise....
Whether it’s via your smartphone, your web browser or your applications, data about you is being produced all the time. In some cases, you’re explicitly producing it yourself, perhaps by posting on social media, while in other cases it’s because metadata about how you move around the web is being collected and sent to big tech companies, their advertisers and others. In some cases, people are aware that information is being shared, because they’ve shared it themselves, while they might be less clear about how data about their activity on the web is being collected – if they’re even aware it’s being collected at all....
