POSTER: computer news   ||    APPLE ROBOT CAR DOES NOT WORK WITHOUT A LIDAR	DATE:2017-04-28
California authorities recently granted Apple permission to test three prototypes of robocar on the base of crossover Lexus RX450h model 2015 on public roads.   But the photographs of one of the prototypes of the "robomobile" Apple got at the disposal of the Bloomberg edition allow to judge what types of sensors are used to create the "autopilot" system.  Hinged installation of equipment instead of its integration into the body elements - a measure is quite adequate, taking into account the early stage of testing and a small number of prototypes.  On the roof you can see the so-called "lidar" - an optical type radar that determines the distance to the surrounding objects.  It was developed by Velodyne, as the source explains, and it allows information to be transmitted over 64 channels simultaneously. One of several cameras is also located on the roof of the car.  The prototype also has several cameras and radars of different types. Part of the equipment is placed on the slats in front of the bumpers.  All this still does not look very elegant, but it is not required from prototypes.

POSTER: computer news   ||    ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF SANDISK WILL BECOME THE GENERAL DIRECTOR OF MICRON TECHNOLOGY	DATE:2017-04-28
In February this year, the head of Micron, Mark Durcan, announced his intention to resign, as he would have done so much earlier if it had not been necessary to replace the tragically dead predecessor.  As a general director, Durkan worked for five years, and his total experience in the company's staff reaches three decades.  Now Micron Technology has decided on a successor, according to an official press release. Since May 8, Sanjay Mehrotra, who was at the source of SanDisk, has become the president and CEO of the company, and headed it between 2011 and 2016.  He also actively contributed to the creation of a joint venture SanDisk and Toshiba for the production of solid state memory, which now, together with the assets of SanDisk, came under the control of Western Digital Corporation.  Mehrotra refers to a small pleiad of leaders who have an engineering background.  He is the author of more than 70 inventions, published in scientific journals and speaks at conferences.  According to analysts, Mehrotra's share in the coming years will be the struggle of Micron with Chinese memory manufacturers who are ready to win 30% of the world market without looking at possible costs. Until August of this year, Mark Durkan will continue to advise his successor, and then finally leave the company.  Sanjay Mehrotra will also be on the board of Micron Technology.  In the near future, experts do not expect him to drastically change the company's business development strategy.

POSTER: computer news   ||   THE REPORTABLE QUARTER OF MICROSOFT IS MARKED BY A DECREASE IN SALES OF TABLETS SURFACE	DATE:2017-04-28
Yesterday, Microsoft reported on the work for the next quarter, which ended on March 31.  In general, the company showed a good result, although it did not reach the figures, which analysts expected from it.  Also there was a failure with tablets and transformable laptops in the Surface lineup.  Revenues from sales of personal computing systems Microsoft Surface fell by about 26%.  In the first quarter, there was an unexpectedly high demand for traditional PCs and laptops (+ 0.6% according to IDC), which increased competition in the market, and many users preferred them, rather than thin and transformable Microsoft tablet PCs.  In addition, the Surface line has not been updated for two years and turned out to be unattractive for purchases. Fortunately for Microsoft and its shareholders, the company for the third year in a row is changing the focus from the PC to cloud services.  For the reported period, the company's revenue from the provision of cloud services showed an annual growth of 50% - up to $ 15.2 billion. This is in accordance with Microsoft's plans to receive from the provision of cloud services at least $ 20 billion by 2020.  The flagship cloud product of the company remains Office 365. During the reporting period the company recorded a record of 100 million commercial users of the cloud office. Microsoft's total revenue for the quarter reached $ 23.56 billion. During the year, it increased by 6%, although analysts had expected a slightly larger amount of revenue, namely $ 23.62 billion. Net profit for the period was $ 4.80 billion. A year ago for that The same period the company received a lower net profit of $ 3.76 billion. Nevertheless, a decrease in the performance of the computer department of Microsoft forced the securities market to lower the value of the company's shares by 0.6%. With the computer division of Microsoft, which includes sales of tablets, game consoles, PC software and advertising revenues on the Internet, there was also a blunder.  Analysts were expecting revenues of $ 9.22 billion from the company, and Microsoft showed $ 8.84 billion, reducing this item by 7.4% for the year.  Surface tablets, as mentioned above, showed a year-on-year decline in revenues of 26% or $ 831 million for the quarter, although a year ago, Microsoft did not bring $ 1.3 billion. At the same time, the company's revenue from sales of Windows PC licenses grew by 5%.  HP and Dell increased PC shipments in the first quarter, which brought significant revenue to Microsoft, although they did not fully compensate for losses in other areas.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 48520 Rating: 10.0/10 (5 votes cast) The reportable quarter of Microsoft is marked by a decrease in sales of tablets Surface	Add Comment ( 1 ) THE REPORTABLE QUARTER OF MICROSOFT IS MARKED BY A DECREASE IN SALES OF TABLETS SURFACE

POSTER: computer news   ||    SOLID-STATE MEMORY WILL GIVE INTEL MORE AND MORE REVENUE	DATE:2017-04-28
In a press release on the announcement of the results of the first quarter, Intel mentioned the fact that Optane family drives entered the market, although in nominal terms the business of manufacturing all types of solid-state memory still provides only 5.8% of total revenue , and at the level of operating activity there is at all Unprofitable.  However, the last fact can be attributed to the need for significant capital investment, which Intel representatives do quietly when discussing this issue. According to the head of Intel, in the coming years the popularity of Optane-type drives will grow, especially in the segment of data centers.  There will be new products using memory such as 3D XPoint.  Intel management continues to maintain that memory of this type combines the energy independence and speed of RAM with the price level between DRAM and NAND.  Over time, Intel's revenue share generated by 3D XPoint memory will increase noticeably.
