Mango Power E Sounds Like an Energy Drink But It’s a Tasty, Eco-Friendly, Portable Power Station

January 25, 2024 by Ted Leave a Comment

Integrators Will Want to Sell It to Clients and Use It in Their Businesses

Sometimes, those things most valuable in life – like air, for example – are unimportant to us until that moment we need it. For example, it does not occur to us that we rely on a safe, efficient, clean source of power until a big storm – a hurricane, tornado, forest fire, etc. – cuts it off. Mango Power offers a portable battery/inverter power station that will protect your access to clean battery-generated AC power…enough power to get you through most events…as well as enhance many other activities.

Themes That Were Key in ’23 on Strata-gee

December 28, 2023 by Ted Leave a Comment

Themes that were Key in 2023

Wow! It’s crazy that 2023 is now just about behind us, and what a dramatic and dynamic year it was! What were the key themes of the year? At the beginning of the year, I think most would say their greatest concern was the economy and their least concern was the tech industry. Yet the year turned out to be almost the exact opposite of that.

Apple Watch Ban Takes Effect as White House Declines to Veto USITC Action

Apple Files Emergency Request to Appeals Court to Halt Ban

UPDATE: See the latest news that broke the day after this story was posted at the bottom of this story…

The Masimo vs. Apple saga continues as the ban on Apple Watch models that the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) declared infringed on multiple Masimo Corp. (NASDAQ: MASI) patent claims is now in full force as the Biden Administration declined to veto the USITC decision. Apple’s (NASDAQ: AAPL) hopes for a presidential intervention countermanding the USITC ban from taking effect were dashed as the Presidential Review period expired at the end of Monday – yes, Christmas Day – with no action taken by the White House.

Speaking for the Biden Administration Tuesday morning, Katherine Tai, the U.S. Trade Representative said the government “decided not to reverse the ban following careful consultations.” With that, the Apple Watch ban took full effect.

1st Shipment of AVA Cinema Remote, A Hot Intro at CEDIA Expo, is Delayed

One of the hottest displays at this year’s CEDIA Expo 2023 was the AVA, Inc. booth where the young company was launching its new Cinema Remote. I was there and the booth was consistently packed with integrators interested in its new remote. In fact, I named AVA as one of my top stories of the Expo as a promising newcomer.

From my conversations with several integrators, I believe AVA wrote a lot of preorders for the Cinema Remotes at the show, as its unique design and clever features were indeed attractive. Now I have learned that the company’s first shipment of remotes has been delayed.

A crowded Snap One booth at CEDIA Expo 23

Well, another CEDIA Expo is in the books and we return to our daily duties and launch into a new Fall season full of promise…and concerns.
