Electronic Labeling Takes Off
By Emerson Hsiao - 06 Jul, 2015 - Comments: 0

One hit product for the Internet of Things (IoT) market is the electronic shelf label (ESL).

But why are retailers replacing nearly zero cost paper labels with an electronic widget that sells for on the order of $5 each (prici... » read more

Memories Offer Measure Of Security For IoT Devices
By Linh Hong - 06 Jul, 2015 - Comments: 0

Consumers are going to extremes to keep their electronic devices secure. A first-person account in The New York Times offered a novel way to thwart thieves from breaking into a car with a remote keyless system and stealing it — the author kept her car keys in the freezer. As extreme as this seems, it may only get worse as we move into the era of the Internet of Things. A recent Hewlett-Pac... » read more

Let’s Talk Open Source

I can see that in any number of appli... » read more
