technology in 2012?
The consumer electronics products projected $ 171 check billion in 2008
The picture typical samples Gates and Slash is not a photomontage, is that each year the International Fair of Consumer Electronics (CES, according to its acronym in English) of Las Vegas becomes, for a few days, the planetary capital of consumer electronics. And the show is the language of the big brands to communicate and demonstrate their ability to gain the attention of others.
From Monday to Thursday of last week, the world's most powerful companies in technology and design came together in this exhibition, a series of buildings covering an area equivalent to 28 football stadiums, to present their innovations compared to an eager public and crowded.
News from this year? Panasonic plasma screen with 150-inch, Sony's brand new Blu-ray to $ 200, Intel with their mobile devices, which strengthen the mix of Internet and home electronics, and once again, the farewell of Bill Gates, from the middle of this year will devote himself to philanthropy. There are few facts for an exhibition in a few years managed to move in the interest of the legendary Comdex, despite the specter of recession.
All green
Beyond the endless fashion devices, including solid trends perceived as irreversible the boom in green technologies, with products aimed at saving energy and manufactured with less toxic materials.
Virtually all major manufacturers are betting industry to the environment today, under pressure from countries with increasingly demanding legislation on these issues.
Another controversial issue that the bank is the poor impact of Windows Vista operating system. Not reached with the statements of Gates and his sales figures, which speak of a hundred million of the new updates for Windows, to change the mood. Many analysts still wonder if after five years of development could not have released Microsoft operating system with a satisfaction level as high as that reached at the time XP.
In another vein, while the American economy today through some storm fronts arising from unemployment, oil prices and deteriorating credit markets and housing, the spokesmen Consumer Electronics Association (organizers of the expo) estimated that the sector had, in the United States earns about U.S. $ 161,000 million during 2007, up 8% over 2006. The outlook for growth this year, and is estimated to be around U.S. $ 171 billion. Both
deployment seems to have aroused the envy among those providing the infrastructure for the implementation of the CES organizers complain that all costs were five times more expensive there than anywhere else in the United States. A sore that can become a major reason for the CES next year to move with trends elsewhere, according to advance.

Rook Piercing Swollen
Controversy about "the future of mobile broadband"
Interview with Alejandro Raffaele, manager of Sun Microsystems in Argentina, published
the newspaper La Nacion.
talked about what happened in 2007 and how will the agenda for 2008, with a company that went from selling "irons" to sign up fully to software and services. Sound familiar?
Sun Many remind one of the companies that led the dotcom boom in the 90's. Sun today is no company that Microsoft and shooting darts IBM. Now, both are their partners. No more disputes over control of Java since Sun decided to open this technology in 2006 and its Solaris operating system, which is now open source.
-Sun made two important things in 2007. The first business was the largest infrastructure integration has done in its history with the public sector, where in addition to selling its own technology, we have sold third-party products such as Oracle. The project is related to a system of information technology that forms a national network which by now I can not give many details. "The second event relates to that we now have a portfolio of more software products. We have acquired companies in the area of \u200b\u200bmiddleware and integration middleware pointing Enterprise Service Bus and Service Oriented Architecture. And we have developed an Identity Management with which we are making progress in some projects, it has been acquired by the segment of the telecommunications and banking. This is all new to us, historically a company dedicated to hardware. And it all happened in the course of 2007.
- What happened c on the map of alliances?
"We have four great allies in the area of \u200b\u200bthe integrators who are Accenture, Siemmens, Indra and EDS. On the other hand, we have business with large developers such as SAP, Oracle and Symantec. But this year we began working with Microsoft and now sell hardware with its operating system, while IBM and Dell have started selling their products in our (Solaris). Sunday's competitors are our Today's part-ners.
- What is shaping the agenda next year?
"The public sector went very slowly on the issue of the election, but next year will open up numerous opportunities. The banking industry has become a catch-up after the crisis. And telecommunications remain a key driver for us. Finally, agriculture has evolved so much that now the inside is a powerful market for all technology. The new challenge is to open our channels to the interior. Rafael Bini
