It's an important vendor-neutral space to share the latest in technology. USENIX has been a great help to my career and my employers, and I hope it is just as helpful for you. And now, helping bring USENIX conferences to Australia by giving the first keynote: I could not have scripted or expected it. It was a great privilege.

Understanding how mobile OSes undermine browser choice requires a nuanced understanding of OS and browser technology. Google's Search App and Facebook's various apps for Android undermine these choices in slightly different ways. [3] Hardware access APIs, notably: Geolocation. How bad is the situation?

Each had come to prominence in the handset market differently: Nokia was a mobile telephony company, Blackberry a mobile email company, Apple a personal technology company, Google an internet search and advertising company. For that to be effective, as Mr. Münchau writes, technology would have to stop evolving.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Many critiques are possible, both of the target (five seconds for first load), the sample population (worldwide internet users), and of the methodology (informed reckons).

Most corporate technology people (working in a department known as "Information Systems" as opposed to "Information Technology") didn’t take microcomputers all that seriously. Each sought to develop and sponsor a library of applications and add-ons so they could sell hardware. Google recently entered this market.

You may not think about it often, but the Internet uses a colossal amount of electricity. This, in turn, means that the Internet’s carbon footprint has grown to the point where it may have eclipsed global air travel , and this makes the Internet the largest coal-fired machine on Earth. These include data transfer (i.e.

Generative AI has been the biggest technology story of 2023. Executive Summary We’ve never seen a technology adopted as fast as generative AI—it’s hard to believe that ChatGPT is barely a year old. When 26% of a survey’s respondents have been working with a technology for under a year, that’s an important sign of momentum.
