Repaso a las predicciones del año 2006 (Dec 14 2006 13:57 GMT) - Como todos los años, hacemos repaso a las predicciones que hice, el primero de enero de este año, sobre cómo sería. Este va a ser el año WiFi, con un poquito de WiMax. Según se vaya generalizando la entrega de los router WiFi con las conexiones de banda ancha, veremos disminuir la cantidad de cables en las casas, y aumentar la cantidad de tarjetas wifi en los equipos de sobremesa y en las cámaras, centros de entretenimiento, reproductores de MP3, y posiblemente móviles. La llegada de nuevos usuarios de WiFi hará que aumente la cobertura de WiFi, y que sea más fácil encontrar WiFis libres. El hecho de que la gente se dé cuenta de este hecho y cierre las redes se contrapesará con el aumento del ancho de banda de las diferentes empresas, que hará que a la gente le dé exactamente igual ceder parte de ese ancho de banda. |

Turnovers plague talented squad (Dec 14 2006 13:56 GMT) - Correlation may not always imply causation, but in Ivy League women's basketball, there are certainly some interesting regressions to run. Cornell and Dartmouth rank the lowest in the Ivy League in terms of turnover margin, and not surprisingly, the Big Red and Big Green have a combined record of 1-12 and it looks as though they're getting ready to fight over space in the cellar when conference play begins in the first week of January. |
