Cadence held their CDNLive! 2012 Silicon Valley event at the DoubleTree Hotel in San Jose, CA on Mar. 13 and 14.   I had the pleasure of hearing two keynotes by Rick Cassidy, President of TSMC North America and Tom Lantzsch, Exec VP of  Corporate Development at ARM.  Both addressed the growing challenges and opportunities for the next generation of low-power smart devices that will be coming in the future but from two different angles:

“CDNLive Keynote: The Silicon Century and the Future Ahead”, Rick Cassidy, Pres. TSMC N.A.

“CDNLive Keynote: The Future of Smarter Systems, Apps, Internet of Things”, Tom Lantzsch, Exec. V.P. Corp. Development, ARM

I also spoke with Rod Simon from OpenText who was exhibiting at the Design Expo. He was presenting their secure high-speed remote connectivity product and a new MS-Outlook plug-in for huge file transfers that is secure and trackable.  Follow this link to hear this 4 min.  interview:
