Net Neutrality to be Debated at CES 2010

By Dena Cassella January 4, 2010

There will be more than just products debuting at CES this year—looks like the hot debate of “net neutrality” will be showcasing at the MPEGIF Master Class. According to a statement from MPEG Industry Forum, the Master Class presentation and panel discussion entitled “TV X.0 Present and Future” will concern Net Neutrality and whether “it is a viable concept given the infrastructural investment being made by operators around the world.” This conference session will bring together industry experts and some of the most influential leaders in video entertainment, multimedia and television. The MPEG Industry Forum says its main goal is to facilitate and further the widespread adoption and deployment of MPEG and related standards in next generation digital media services.

“In our mission to help find solutions and compromises to important issues engaging our industry, MPEGIF has always provided an ideal platform for open and constructive discussion” said Prof. Dr. h. c. Sebastian Moeritz, President of MPEGIF and CEO at dicas. “Net neutrality is a subject of extreme relevance – it must be addressed, considered and managed by all industry participants accordingly.”

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage

Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

This tiny ThinkPad can’t quite keep up with the MacBook Air M2

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
