Intel takes on IBM and Microsoft with its own ‘off-the-shelf’ blockchain packages


Intel is expanding its blockchain offering even further to make it easier for businesses to get into the blockchain game. According to marketing materials published earlier this month, the computer hardware and infrastructure manufacturer has launched what it’s calling ‘Intel Select Solution for Blockchain: Hyperledger Fabric.’ Under the surface this actually isn’t a change to Hyperledger, Intel’s blockchain software, rather it’s a set of ready-made packages of hardware and software infrastructure to sell directly to businesses. Consider it a sort of “commercial-grade off-the-shelf” option. These solutions are, to no surprise, built on Intel hardware. Devices like Intel’s Xeon Scalable processor…

What we learned from Kara Swisher’s brutal interview with Jack Dorsey


Kara Swisher’s long-anticipated interview with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey felt momentous, as though it was the Frost/Nixon interview of the tech world. In one corner stood the fiercest interviewer in technology journalism. Swisher is equal parts Walt Mossberg and Jeremy Paxman.
