For HTML5 developers and decision makers, the most important technologies right now are HTML, JavaScript, CSS, mobile platforms and devices and evolving HTML platforms (browsers and operating systems). But what does that mean in the real world? It means these 10 things in 2013...
eBay reported strong earnings today, thanks to growth in mobile adoption, as well as improved performance in the Marketplaces business. The company also released its mobile commerce numbers for the year, which blew past original estimates.
In 2013, eBay expects each to exceed a whopping $20 billion.
PayPal and eBay both expected $10 billion in sales/payments volume for the year, individually. However, eBay mobile finished the year with $13 billion in volume – more than double the prior year – and PayPal mobile handled almost $14 billion in payment volume, more than triple (250 percent exactly) the prior year.
While fashion-savvy individuals can’t wait to see the fashion items from the catwalk runways to the stores, webmasters are all too anticipant to know the best web designs that will be in and hot for the next year. Website designs now are not only there to look at but also to respond with. In this page, we will discuss the top 5 web designs we project for 2013.
2012 was a weirdly quiet year for gaming. With aging consoles, there was a predictable trend toward buying blockbuster titles and some expansion in digital sales.
Tablet gaming is still mostly Angry Birds, the big titles are incremental improvements - nothing earth-shattering. And E3 was pretty dull, too.
2013 promises to be more interesting. It will still be a transitional year for the industry, but those transitions will come faster and be a lot more obvious. Here's what to look for...
Oh yes, it’s that time of year again, when the predictions, trends and resolutions blogs come out to play. Personally I’m a sucker for these articles – they always make me stop and think at the end of a busy year. Hopefully you are too, so Sharon and I thought we’d gather some thoughts on marketing from people whose ideas we really respect. Here are their number one predictions for 2013 (plus a couple from us too). You’ll notice some clear themes.
Big exits in New York? Content curation? Explosion in B-to-B startups?
What will be the big news in the tech industry in 2013?
We recently held our annual SAI 100 party, honoring the top people in New York tech, on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, and asked these leading innovators what they thought.
We’re on pace to generate 1.3 zettabytes of data in 2016, about four times more than we create today, according to the latest data out from Cisco. To put that in perspective, Cisco helpfully tells us that’s more than 38 million DVDs streamed in an hour. Or, you can think of it as a 1 followed by 21 zeros.
The telecom gear maker offered up its fifth annual assessment of future broadband growth on fixed, managed and wireless networks around the world Wednesday. And to no one’s surprise, as individuals, households and countries we’re just going to keep boosting our broadband use.
The guys at iFixit, the group that dismantles gadgets and gives away repair guides, really know their stuff.
So when one of them makes predictions about Apple's next big product launch, we listen.
iFixit's Kyle Wiens spoke to PC World about the iPad 3 and what he thinks it's going to be like. For the record, Wiens was pretty accurate when he predicted what the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S would be like.
Stern Agee analyst Shaw Wu told All Things Digital that they are not only predicting 48 million iPad shipments for 2012, but that that number "could turn out conservative."
Apple sold roughly 38.06 million iPads last calendar year (25.06 million between Q1 and Q3, 13 million estimated for Q4). If it can sell 48 million iPads in 2012, it makes for a nice 26% increase.
If you fancy yourself a betting man, head over to Las Vegas and see if you can find anyone willing to wager which will happen first: the world will end, or Google+ will top 400 million members. Both are predicted to happen in the 2012, the former by the Mayans, and the latter by Paul Allen (stat guy, not the co-founder of Microsoft). Is either one likely to happen?
