More and more semiconductor providers have released new microcontrollers with ARM CORTEX-M3/M0 cores. It is time to review the new product lines and check out their advantages over most successful ARM7TDMI microcontroller.

As the VP of Marketing and Sales and general front-man for Newton Software, I spend a great majority of my time speaking with HR and corporate staffing professionals about recruiting and hiring. Here are the trends that I believe are here to stay even when, once again, the economy improves and hiring becomes a front-burner issues.

Recruiting is a misunderstood art form. For the shortsighted hiring managers out there, the word recruiting brings to mind hours of distraction that could be better spent on their "real job". One thing the recession has taught us (particularly the mortgage crisis) is that any decision based solely on short term ramifications will generally get us nowhere in the long run.

great, useful, insightful, and post about introducing Web 2.0 to an organization. With a list of Dave's favorite tools/processes.

Much has been said about Microsoft's Project Natal since its announcement in the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) last June 1. "Natal" was used as the code name of the project because natal means birth and Microsoft considers the latest Xbox 360 video game device as the next generation home entertainment system.

Today, Palm released its Mojo SDK for WebOS which should be the step that finally gets both the OS and the Pre to flourish.

FriendFeed has recently launched a search feature, and so Facebook search must be coming soon. Real-time Web search (of streams of activities) is a hot topic right now. Everyone, including Google and Microsoft, recognizes the value of using trusted contacts as filters. What was once called social search is now called real-time search, but this time it will really happen. First, it will be applied to streams and then to the Web in general. What we are about to get is a Social Relevancy Rank. Whenever you search streams of activity, the results will be ordered not chronologically but by how relevant each is to you based on your social graph. That is, people who matter more to you will bubble up. How does this work? Well, there will be a formula, just as there is a formula for Page Rank.

All the companies that get credit today for doing social media well--Zappos, Dell, Comcast--have all become comfortable with letting individuals from their company become the faces for their brand. These are the voices that I often call "accidental spokespeople." Within them is the real secret to using social media to be a brand that actually matters: offering a real human connection.
