BRUSSELS — British Prime Minister David Cameron has won a hard-fought deal for a less intrusive European Union after two days of tense talks with EU leaders, a commitment he said he needed to persuade UK voters the country should stay in the bloc. The agreement is seen as a key stepping stone to the in-out referendum in Britain on continued EU membership that could come as soon as this summer.

Highly anticipated: It’s tough to keep a secret in the tech industry these days. Just ask Apple. After years of “didn’t see that coming” (or, at least, the hope of “One More Thing…”), it’s becoming increasingly rare for Apple to be able to pull off a genuine surprise at their big launch events, especially on the product side. Yesterday’s Spring Loaded event was no exception, with the debut of a widely anticipated new iPad Pro , AirTags location finders, Podcast service, and the svelte new iMacs . But while there may not have been any serious product surprises, there was a little bit of uncertainty about the direction and speed of its technical transition to Arm-powered devices. Those questions were completely put to rest, however, with the new iMac and iPad Pro announcements and the inclusion of the company’s self-designed M1 chip into both products. It’s now clear that Apple is not only committed to making the M1, and its subsequent Arm-powered processors, the core of all … [Read more...] about M1 Everywhere: Apple accelerates custom chip transition

The latest research from the 2021 Connected Benchmark report found that the average organization runs 843 individual applications. The report also found that only 29% of applications on average are integrated. With the average lifetime of an application being just four years, organizations must evolve away from being hierarchical and hardwired toward being flexible and open to change -- a composable enterprise. Marketing departments represent a line-of-business with many business applications that are mostly not integrated. The marketing technology landscape has exploded in the past decade. Just look at the trend of Scott Brinker 's Marketing Technology Landscape logo map over the past ten years: State of Marketing research from Salesforce shows that marketing leaders top challenges are customer engagements in real time, innovation, creating a cohesive customer journey across all channels, unifying customer data sources and sharing a unified view of customer data across … [Read more...] about A cure for marketing’s ‘Frankenstack’ syndrome

By Brian Owens Apr. 21, 2021 , 11:00 AM The relatively modest research investments outlined in Canada’s new federal budget could make it difficult for the nation to recruit and retain scientific talent, Canadian science advocates fear. The multiyear spending plan announced on 19 April includes CA$2.2 billion in mostly new funding for life sciences, but much of the money is targeted at boosting biomedical applications and vaccine development. Many research groups had hoped for greater investment in basic research at a time when, just across the border, U.S. President Joe Biden has proposed large increases for fundamental science. Canada’s three main research councils will share CA$250 million for a new joint biomedical research grant program, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research will be given an additional $250 million to fund clinical trials. Universities and research hospitals will get $500 million for bioscience infrastructure such as equipment and buildings. The … [Read more...] about Canada’s new science budget gets lukewarm reception from researchers

In brief: AirTags are Apple's entry into the tracking fob market. These small circular devices tap into Apple's recently expanded Find My network. Similar to Tile, just slip these in a pocket or attach to a keychain, and you can locate it using your iPhone. The Cupertino tech giant has finally unveiled its AirTag accessory during their Spring Loaded event . AirTags use an end-to-end encrypted signal to ping nearby devices that are on the Find My network, including non-Apple accessories. Users can then use the Find My app on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac to locate the fob and whatever is attached to it. AirTags are made of polished stainless steel and are rated IP67 for water and dust resistance. The fob has a removable cover for replacing the battery when needed. Setting one up is a cinch and works just like syncing AirPods. Simply bring it close to your iPhone and it automatically detects and connects. Then assign it to an item and give it a name like Backpack in the Find My … [Read more...] about AirTags: Apple’s worst-kept secret is finally here
