Modular, open source hardware
Artificial Scale
2 April 2013 @ 2:45 pm
There is growing developer interest in what is popularly called the Internet of Things (IoT) – in essence, anything connected to the Internet that’s not a laptop, tablet or smartphone. As the price of microcontrollers, CPUs and networking chips continue to fall, it becomes easier to incorporate them in just about any type of product. [...]
The Future of Cable Innovation?
12 October 2012 @ 7:30 pm
Working with huge companies like Comcast has many advantages for a small firm like Bug Labs. But one of the downsides is they typically like to keep innovative new ideas and initiatives close to the vest. Their dead serious interest in IP and the institutional protections they place on it permeates everything they do. [...]

2011 in Review
17 January 2012 @ 2:18 am
CES always marks a point of reflection for me – a time to look back at the prior year and see how we measured up. It was at CES 2008 that we officially launched Bug Labs and won the CNET “Best of Show Award for Emerging Technology”. It was a heady week. It’s hard to [...]
Social Machines
18 October 2011 @ 2:10 pm
If you’re like me, you start to reflexively roll your eyes when you see some new, previously unmolested noun get saddled with the term “social”. We have social everything these days. And the trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. The reason I think, though it doesn’t lessen the annoyance factor, is that the term [...]

I have a deep seated ambivalence for the term “M2M”. I see it as an anachronism, too rooted in the past to be useful to us now. But today everyone is using it to describe all kinds of markets/technologies. Between the term’s history and the current hype I can’t help but think it’s confusing the [...]
Mobile M2M is the Next Wave for Mobile Enterprise
10 August 2011 @ 9:02 pm
A few years ago I started a company called Antenna Software. For those of you old enough to remember, the Mobile Internet was going-to-be-huge in 2000… Eleven years later it’s now starting to live up to that promise and Antenna has benefitted from the upswell. Antenna focuses on what’s called the Mobile Enterprise, a market [...]

Top Ten M2M Misconceptions
2 August 2011 @ 1:51 pm
1 – It’s new – No. The acronym “M2M” is at least 30 years old and so is the concept. The good news is – it has a history of solid business value.
2 – It’s a market – It’s not. It’s a heterogeneous collection of hundreds, if not thousands, of vertical niche markets (worldwide) all [...]
